Does something like this exist? I was thinking more along the lines of air hose quick-connect fittings but you get the idea.

I'm looking to add two ports to a medical oxygen gas bottle from only one hole. One "siphon" at the bottom of the tank, and a port at the top. A 1lb propane bottle would be ideal too if you guys had any ideas for a similar connection.

I welcome any ideas. I need a pressurized cylinder for a filtration test unit. Pressure will be under 100psi.

You might need to do a quick drawing and scan it or take a picture of it to post it. Your description doesn't make a lot of sense.

My initial thought was that you may need to use a manifold, but after re-reading your description, well, it doesn't make a lot of sense, so I'm not sure that it would be a good solution.

If I'm reading this right you want to be able to pull gas and liquid out of one tank? I know they have that setup on dewar tanks with co2. Maybe that will help you with your search. But I would just call your local gas distributor and see if they can do anything for you.

That helps a little bit more. But still need to clarify; are you trying to pressurize from one port and then dispense via the pressurization from the other port?

That drawing you show basically shows the inside of a spray paint can, except with a method of re-pressurizing.

If that's the right idea, then I'd say install a ball valve downstream of both outlets. Open one to fill/pressurize and close. Open the other ball valve to activate the pressurized stream/siphon.

buy a refrigerant recovery tank, they have liquid and vapor ports.

The problem is that the refrigerant recovery tanks are far too big. I'm planning to use a small medical oxygen tank. Long and narrow is ideal for this application. (Filter)

The plan is to use it like a filter. A stream of air will come in through the bottom and out the top or vice versa.


Yep! I've been reading that NGT and NPT are sort of interchangeable. I wonder if it will fit the cylinder and everything!

No. This is just for an air filter. The bottle will be filled with a filter media. and I want to just pass air through it from the bottom to the top. It will be high pressure.
