The latest pump model from the British manufacturer Hill, designated MK5 Pro, features a beautiful nickel-plated surface. On the Czech market it ranks among the highest-quality pumps. A pressure gauge is of course included, and the hose has a 1/8" fitting. After filling the cylinder, you must first release the pressure from the hose and only then disconnect it. Mounting on a G5/8 valve, which is standard on all more modern scuba tanks.
The package also includes a filter, which protects both the pump and the cylinder from corrosion. The filter filling now also changes colour, so you can easily determine when it needs to be replaced.
For Hill pumps we offer all spare parts, seal kits and replacement filter fillings.
With the Hill MK5 pump it is possible to reach a filling pressure of up to 300 BAR/4500 psi.
If your air rifle has a filling pin that is not threaded, you need to purchase an additional quick coupler for the connection.
