Others Edgun Peazy is a super convenient top off method!!

[PasadenaMike]

I’m all about convenience in the field and believe in there’s a tool for every job and fill methods are no exception. In another post I talked about the gxel2 18 volt compressor as a super convenient fill method but what if you’re hunting or pesting and you don’t want to carry a compressor on your walk because i sure don’t and nobody wants to hand pump (I still do sometimes). Enter the Edgun Peazy fill system it can give you couple partial fills in the field and you’re good for a while. This is nice if you have guns with small tanks like the Brocock Ranger , Edgun, Notos…..It won’t work with a prod and Mrod because of the position of the fill location. You can put a qd on the Peazy to use any fill probe. I’m not sponsored by Brian I’m just spreading the gospel of convenience you can fill this with a small compressor because they’re 350 and 580cc and only a 300 bar fill.

After about a year of using the Eazy fill from Edgun, the fill foster fitting on my Impact M3 developed a lot of distortion. I’ve since been informed that wear is “normal”. 3000+ psi fills would have the bearing surfaces imparting a lot of pressure on this foster though. I’m going to stop using the EaZy fill when I get my new fitting and keep an eye on the wear that happens. I’m going to inspect the other fosters on my other guns and see what’s going on if anything.

Good to know I’m sure yours gets a ton of use. I used a Best Fittings qd on one and one has the Edgun probe but I don’t shoot that much I wish I did to know long term issues

I've been using two Eazy Fills since they were released. I've never seen any damage to either a foster fill or any fill probes like that. They all look brand new as far as I can see.

Were you running the QD without an o-ring in it?
Why would you assume it's EdGun's fault that your FX provided foster is made of poor quality metal?
Who informed you this is "normal". EdGun or FX?

These are all good questions but I can say that I had impacts that were being filled to 300 bar, but I used my air tanks plus materials and never had issues, brian has had to replace a lot of orings in the eazy fill and if its the only thing hes been using then to think that its the eazy fills fault is warranted. It very could be a poor quality metal issue on the FX provided foster but at the same time his eazy fill could also 100% be the culprit.

Yeah - you can't rule anything out, but that's the first time I've seen a foster damaged to that extent.

The end of the fitting looks as if it were JB Welded on there or something. That looks messed up. Good thing you caught it.

Also I’ve noticed some quick disconnects go on smoothly while others not so much maybe this was not so much ?

To be honest, I wouldn’t have known there was a “problem” if the Saber Tac dust cover didn’t catch the bur that had developed on the foster. I’ve never run any female fosters without o-rings. I have had to double up Orings in the EaZy fill foster though. I’ve also replaced Orings more often than I thought I should have to, but that’s easy enough I suppose. The Ed EaZy fill definitively does not fit as snug as my airtanks plus foster fitting even with new oring(s). So it’s gonna be a pretty paper weight for now, until I rule out an issue with the impacts foster. A dealer and an engineer both said that fosters do wear and to keep an eye on em. So that’s what I’ll do, while using my new AT+ foster and whip.

That’s exactly one issue with the EaZy fill I have. It acts like the collar doesn’t pull back far enough to allow the bearings to fall back into the pocket for application.

Yess and it’ll gouge just like that in the pic for sure

Interesting - I think the difference here is the two EaZy's I have (bought them both used) didn't come with the female foster QD on the output side so I had to get some myself.

Yeah I don’t remember which I used but it’s a smooth install on guns also the original white seal didn’t seal so I removed it and used one of those washers with the o ring in the middle (don’t know the technical terms but whatever works sometimes)

It’s called a “dowty seal” or “dowty washer” I believe.

That's a very valid point. I have about 4 EdGun style fill probes with fosters machined on them and of them at least one doesn't fit each one of the various female sides. I'm sure there is a standard set of dimensions but sometimes hit or miss.

HAM ran a 3-part series on the variability of "Foster-type" fittings a couple of years ago. There is - indeed - a wide variety. You can read the full story staring here. Here's part two. And part three.
