I don't mind pcp fittings, don't seem as popular here on scubaboard.
But I don't mind it. Plus the hoses are low bore. And quite flexible.
And if you want a transfer whip just a matter of quick connecting a hose or two to your fill adapters

Yes that does look very nice. It give me an idea. Things are coming clearer.
2 whips sounds good.
You also answered another one of my questions, can i use adapters. I have both DIN and yoke tanks.
Wanted to add that I use digital gauges for filling. I have 2, one is O2 clean and whips off the O2 bottle. The other is for topping off with air (and for all filling really). With digital you can be more precise.

Just something else to think about:).

The one that I really like I got off aliexpress, it was $60. Not sure what they are now, but it's yellow and feels very well made (better than my US bought $120 digital gauge!).
 
I was able to talk to the tech who last serviced this unit.
He said everything works on it.
It’s got Dew Point and CO monitoring. So that seems pretty cool.
He comes to my area semi regularly for his work and does overnight stays. I asked if he’d come by my house for beers and burgers and a side job to help me get it running. He said he would. Seems like pretty good progress.

Now I need to go ahead and figure out power, fittings, tubing, and such so I can have those parts and pieces available for his review and assistance. Pretty good stuff.
 
How far are you from Atlantic Beach/Morehead City area? I'll be down that way beginning of August and have some CGA347 fittings if you want them, for the bank bottles.
 
Have both. Use them for hydraulic testing
The one with 4 buttons is nicer

You can get different pressures.
Trick is getting a thread you can use...
1/4npt is what you want.
Bsp is a pain.. think there are metric as well.

I have the first one with the boot. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they're 1/3 more than they used to be.

These fill whips have their own built in regulator? I would not need a separate regulator like this one? Paintball/Airgun Storage Regulator Series
