I have not received the JT .48/3000 compressed air tank I ordered to power my Alpha Elite yet.
I notice the compressed air tank has a nipple that snaps into the fill attachment that is mounted to my scuba tank.
Since Alpha Elite has a female threaded air inlet how do you attach the compressed air tank to the Alpha Elite air inlet after filling the tank?

The regulator on the tank will be threaded to fit the air source adapter on your marker. The fill nipple is just used to fill the tank and not supply the marker. You'll actually be able to fill the tank while it's screwed into the gun.

I see. The tank will screw into the marker at the end and the nipple will screw into the side of the tank neck and stay in place so it can be filled while still attached to the marker.
Thanks so much for the reply and help.
