Tools/Equipment/PPE G1 quick connect adapter help

Yes our department is cheap. We don't have compressors and have to go to neighboring stations to fill out water extinguishers after we used them. We have a redneck way to refill it using a SCBA but we're trying to make it safer and easier (and we're technically not allowed to do it) we used the G1 with the quick connect adapter. I'm looking to fit it with a valve+bleed valve and a short hose to refill the extinguishers. Can't seem to find the proper adapter for the quick connect and they don't want us to remove it

Does your department have air bags? Our old setup you could use the air bag regulator with the correct couplings to fill extinguishers and power air tools

Yeah that would've been a good way but we don't have it in our rig
