"Real" name for BC inflator post

[guruboy]

is there a "real" name for the BC inflator post?

Trying to see if there is a cheaper bulk purchase option for them than DGX.

Are you referring to the male quick disconnect on the power inflator body?
If not, can you post a picture of what you are looking for.

Yes

Northeast Scuba Supply sells them on their site.

Wings/BC Parts

Second page under "Inflator Nipple". Contact the owner and see if he can get you a deal on a bulk purchase.

Thanks but I'm still looking for the name.

Unless the scuba industry designed this part specifically for inflators?

Isn't that a schrader valve? Or something like that?

if anyone knows, @cool_hardware52 will know...

@Patoux01 they are schrader valves, but that is just a type of valve, not a specific fitting. Your tire fill valves are also schraders, just a very different fitting. The schrader valves are a valve that require the insert to be pressed for air to flow when connected.

Max, your picture details a QD to 1/4 NPT (male) adapter. That's not the piece used on power inflators. The Male QD on power inflators has a 3/8 x 24 straight thread.

The actual name is BC QD fitting. At least that what we order when we need some.
