PUMP PISTON FILLER
The Pump Piston filler is a high capacity filling mechanism that is powered by a piston unit activated along a piston rod. The rod attaches to the piston unit via three spokes easily and freely. Once the piston rod is secure in the J-lock on the piston unit, the piston unit can be detached from the piston connector at the back of the pen by turning the piston knob counter-clockwise and be pushed towards the section, which expels the air in the barrel.
