PCP Looking for a little AA S200 fill advice

So, I'm a dedicated springer guy, but I did buy an S200 at the Baldwinsville NY show this year. Shot it there, and its quite the surgical little thing!
I'd like to shoot it more (obviously 😁) but I have a fill dilemma - I have a pump with a common female Foster fitting, but the rifle has a Parker Hannifin 60 series male.
I'd like to make a simple adapter but I'm not sure which Parker fitting to order by number. Plan B would be to replace the Parker altogether, but it's leak free now and I'd need to make or buy a tool.

If anyone has info or suggestions to offer, I promise I'll stop poking fun at PCP's.... 😆

Thanks!

I am not familiar with that fitting. You can always unscrew the air cylinder and fill it from the other end as designed. I would just replace all that and go shopping on this website. This guy is great. I placed a couple orders with him in the past couple months. Both orders received in a week. His prices are cheap. Quality is top notch.
 
Ah the PCP drug has set its hooks into another victim😆 Looking at that it does scream hydraulic fitting🤔..... For the S510 there is a handy fitting you can buy that swaps out the oe style T bar and allows it to hook up to the quick connect Best fitting. That may work for you...I would personally delete the Parker.

plus one.
 
OK, an update:

Turns out that my fill setup is the original one, pre-T bar. There is a fitting for it, which AA calls a snap fitting. Easily found in the UK, I bought mine and the correct male Foster fitting to use the snap fitting as an adapter from Best Fittings. They were excellent to deal with and easy on my wallet.

So, in a week or two I should be able to get air into my S200. Looking forward to it.

As a sidebar, I came very close to replacing the tube altogether with a 150cc and a foster fitting. The cost held me back, but if I like this rifle the way I expect.to, I will probably do that in the future.

Oh you will end up buying it haha
These are such great little rifles. Just something about them that is pure joy to shoot. I just had my S200 out on my lunch break slaying invasive lizards. I ordered an AA magazine system for mine at the beginning of the year and just installed it this week. It was amazing how easily and quickly it can be installed/removed.
 
If you look on pyramyd air you should find what you need. I know for my 200 i have an adapter for the
other end. Un unscrew the air tube and fill from that end. It has a check valve you you loose just a tiny bit
