Abstract
A high pressure fitting for filling a cylinder with a pressurized gas. The fitting comprises a fill port adaptor in combination with a flow controller system. The fill port adaptor has a movable injection port, a cradle and a locking clamp. The flow controller system has an inlet cooperatively adapted to receive the movable injection port. The flow controller and the fill port adaptor are open for flow of gas when the injection port is received in the inlet and closed for flow of gas when not so received. The locking clamp is adapted to lock the flow controller system in said cradle.
