Anybody have...

Hello,

Having a groove there does helps to increase contact pressure, so long as there is a o-ring. Brad's regulator end isn't like that when used. There's another piece of white ring that fits around the brass protrusion.

As far as whether it is for CO2 use. I have no doubt in my mind it is. These regulators are for bar use with much much higher CO2 flow rates, than the typical welding or aquarium use that we see elsewhere. As such, there is no misfits or anything here that I'm sure. As the rest of the regulators I have in stock are all like that.

Brad, let's wait and see what Micro Matic say. If you ended up coming to Vancouver to visit J&L for a new regulator, let me know. I'll see if I can put another one of mine on your CO2 bottle to see what really is going on. If not, I'll give you a refund, since you are so nice.

Titus, from what I can see, Micromatic calls these CO2 regs. I thought you may have got one by mistake for something else, but if that's what they call them, then it isn't your fault. I deally I would like them to send me a "normal" CGA 320 leg. I put anew washer in and used a (much) longer wrench to tighten it, so we'll see what happens. Thanks for your attention to this so far!!

After looking at there web page I saw the regulator but cannot get a good view of the end. I agree that they are a CO2 set but I also think they are for use in a poropriatary set up. you say they are for bar use this could be but I bet they hook up to a non standard CO2 bottle.

I have used a few different regulators myself for beer carbonation and making sparkling wines and ciders and all of them had the same maiting surface as the regulator I am using now. Add that to the fact that no one in town seamed to know what Brads regulator was for and I am leaning more towards a propiritary type system. Maybe they make a adapter for use on a "standard" CO2 valve set.
