I've recently purchased a commercial drinks carbonator from the US for use in the UK and, of course, when I tried to connect the UK CO2 bottle to the equipment the male thread on the bottle doesn't fit the female thread on the gas regulator that comes with the machine. I want to source a UK supplier who can offer a suitable adaptor to allow me to make the connection safely! |

Most regulators are made so that you can unscrew the nipple that the nut (that connects to the CO2 bottle) slips on. Look at this picture and see if your regulator looks similar: http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/regulators-pid-841.html?box=parts#tabcontent Next read this: http://news.killerhurtz.co.uk/newwheels/reg.htm Discovered that the US CO2 connector is very slightly smaller than UK version - you can screw a UK nut onto a US tank, but ya cant get the US nut on this reg onto a UK CO2 tank/extinguisher. Fortunately, unlike some regs, the inlet pipe unscrews quite easily, so I just replaced the nut with a UK CO2 nut (the large brass lump at the bottom of the pic above) - you can get these from welding supplies shops. I will bet that this company can fix you right up: http://www.adamsgas.co.uk/Default.aspx If not, try a local welding supply shop. If you like my solution and want to pay me for it, let me know and I will post it as your answer. |

Contacted Adams and they don't supply fittings or regulators at all :( |
