Would pressure gauge pistol work in another brand cylinder?

Hello, 1st post in the english section.

Well a few years ago I bought a cylinder (9 x 1¾) and a pressure gauge pistol on a trip to USA. The brand is called L.A Pump.
I was hoping to buy another cylinder (9x2) as part of my progression. And reading some posts here I saw very good comments about the LeLuv pump. Comparing both brands prices, I appreciated that the LeLuv Cylinders are more affordable than the L.A Cylinders.

I was hoping if the pressure gauge pistol of LA could work on the Leluv Cylinder? Because I have to add the shipping costs into my budget 😅😅

Thanks! I will add some photos of the air pump

I would think so. If you’re going to run into a problem, it will likely be right where the hose connects to the tube. I have a LeLuv tube and it has a “quick connect” on the end. I had to purchase the “male” connector end. My pump is just a brake bleeder pump I purchased at a hardware store for twenty dollars. The pumps all work te same, but sometimes the parts that connect them don’t match up. Take a good look at the connector (female end) on the LeLuv pump. Does it look compatible? If not, you will need the “male” connector as well. LeLuv sells them, and they’re only a few dollars.

Here’s what you’ll need. This is just the one I found on Ebay, you may be able to find one cheaper if you look around. Or you may already have this with your current set-up.

Yes, as long as the cylinder has a quick disconnect connector. Just about all professional quality pumps and cylinders use a common quick disconnect connector just like the ones shown in your pic.

Yup, looks identical to my set up.

Edit point: Sorry, maybe I should have waited until your pictures got approved so I could see your set-up? Do ya think? Heheheh. I have one of the LeLuv cylinders with the flared base, and I love it! Good luck to you.

Your current pump pistol will snap into a LeLuv cylinder with no problem. No modifications are needed.

Raybbaby, Gprent and thoughtfulgold; thank you very much for the quick answers! Wow!

Cool, so I will try the LeLuv asap. I will report about the set up in a few months!

Keep gaining! 💪🏻💪🏻

The pump you show in the pic looks identical to the Harbor Freight brake bleeder pump kit which I bought for $18 with an auto mag coupon. I have used it (with the McMaster Carr connector) with LA pump, LeLuv, PumpToys, and Boston Medical cylinders.

This brake bleeder pump allows you to pump with water, is this correct?
So basically, all that needs to be done is to connect the hose to the brake bleeder pump in order to convert the dry pump into a wet one, correct?

You have to use the reservoir that comes with the break bleeder kit.

So basically any pump works, as long as there is a reservoir?
Thanks!

Yes. Make sure you don’t allow any water in the pump.

Hi, sorry for bumping this thread.

I just wanted to say that the Leluv cylinder arrived today and the female end matched with the male connector from L.A (and apparently Harbor Freight).

Thanks again for your help!

These quick-connect couplings are usually made by the Colder Products Corporation. You may see the abbreviation “CPC” stamped on the metal tab of the coupling at the top of your cylinder. They’re used by a number of different vacuum pumping suppliers. Here are the part numbers, followed by the official descriptions. They’re measured strangely, but these are the ones that fit:

The coupling at the top of your cylinder (It has the metal tab):
Colder PMCD1002
[Acetal Tube Fitting, Coupler, Shutoff, In-Line, 1/8" Flow Coupler x 1/8" NPT Male]

The coupling at the end of your tubing (This connects to the one above):
Colder PMC2204
[Acetal Tube Fitting, Insert, Straight Thru, In-Line, 1/8" Insert x 1/4" Barb]

These days, I buy them from Fresh Water Systems | Whole House Systems | Water Treatment
They’re the cheapest I’ve found.

The standard tubing is clear vinyl, ¼ inch inside diameter. You can get a big roll at Lowes for around $5. The tubing at Home Depot isn’t as sturdy, but it still works. Many smaller hardware stores sell it by the foot.
