When you ask about a Type 01 refill adapter for a TRIMIX T-500, the supplier needs to identify two interfaces. One is at the mini cylinder. The other is at the source cylinder that supplies the air. A photo of a clamp tells the supplier which side you mean, but the exact source valve has to be confirmed separately.
Put the two interfaces on separate lines
The TRIMIX Type 01 product page lists the compact adapter as one filling accessory. Its pairing table names the T-500, T-500-4P, T-500SM and T-500SM4P. It identifies a receiving-cylinder quick coupling for the model’s 8 mm fill plug and shows a clamp-style source connection. The same page explicitly calls for confirmation of the source valve standard, sealing arrangement and pressure compatibility. The source cylinder is separate from the adapter.
The T-500 user manual labels the fill plug in its product diagram and describes refill equipment in a separate section. Use the manual to identify the intended receiving equipment. Then give the supplier the actual source valve make and model or the applicable manufacturer document. A description such as “standard scuba tank” does not identify that valve.
Build a request the supplier or fill provider can check
- Receiving side: Record the full TRIMIX tank configuration and the fill connection specified for that unit. Include visible markings or photos of the existing assembly where appropriate.
- Source side: Record the source valve make, model and exact outlet or connection specification. Give the source pressure information from its records to the qualified fill provider.
- Quote scope: Ask for the quoted adapter’s identifier, the documented connection on each side and whether any separate equipment is required.
The T-500 product page distinguishes the standalone tank set from selected kits that can include the Type 01 adapter. If you have a kit quote and a separate adapter quote, compare their packing lists before ordering the same item twice.
A qualified fill provider can review the complete equipment and breathing-air supply. If the source valve is unidentified or the supplier cannot confirm the actual combination, leave that pairing unresolved instead of treating the clamp shape or fill-plug size as confirmation.
The Type 01 adapter inquiry can prepare an email with the two interfaces described on separate lines. Ask for a written match for your equipment.
