any update?

Fittings for CO2 Tanks 13 years 8 months ago #14

Sorry been very busy. Needsless to say I would not be using wholesale welding supplies again. They said that the product was in stock but still took 3 weeks for it to be shipped. They had taken my money on day one, which I suppose is fair enough. They are 2 minutes down the road and charged me 12 euro delivery on the regulator and then hand delivered, which I thought was a bit cheeky. I had asked them for a barbed fitting to connect the regulator to the beer line and they supplied me with a fitting that had a not return valve, in the opposite direction!!! Could not get any CO2 out of the cylinder. Spent about an hour modifying fitting (had to drill out non-return valve). Anyway the regulator itself has a 5/8" BSP fitting which is exactly what the tank takes.

Apart from the extreme messing I am actually very happy with the regulator.

The output is a 3/8inch BSP (threaded) fitting. You need to be able to connect the air line some how. You can't really see it from the photo. Here is another photo

See the brass fitting pointing down on left hand side? That is the barb to connect to the gas line. Hope this helps.
