pressurized co2/having issues

[FrostyNYC]

He didnt meant that it's for paintballing. He meant that the regulator that you have made me designed to screw onto a paintball canister instead of a 5 gallon CO2 canister.

Your photo of the box for the regulator didnt show up, btw.

here's the pictures....sorry. Anyway, the box has aquarium stuff on the front?
Fish swimming and a bunch of plants. I would assume it was made for aquariums and not paintballing though with all the aquarium things on the front.

This may not be what you need, and it's out of stock anyway. A picture would be nice, but there isn't one on the linked page.

thank you for the link, that's probably exactly what I need. Out of stock, yeah, well maybe there is a different site I can find one at. Or maybe on e bay? I will have to take a look.

Just read about someone grinding the regulator down to make it attach to American tanks; I think I'd rather do the adapter. Someone else gave a compelling argument for why it's okay to use two o-rings (I assume one o-ring is seated on the regulator where it attaches to the tank?) to avoid leaks. Good luck finding the adapter (if that's what you need)

Same connection?

yes timwag2001 that's exactly what i have minus the ph controller probe thing. But their picture includes the tank(probably fits). However mine did not come with the co2 tank. Of course when i bought my own tank, the pressure regulator won't fit on it. I even went to Eureka Oxygen supply, they did not have anything for me either. I wonder where I can find an adaptor for less than 35 bucks? Hmmmm I may have no choice, it's just that place is out of stock, so where else to go? Can anyone find another link to an adaptor that will fit my tank, I am having no luck finding one anywhere. Thanks in advance for the help everyone, this website has been incredibly helpful.

american regulators (and cylinders) are cga 320. what you need is an adapter (or new regulator)

here is some info
Fittings

In the US and Canada, most CO2 bulk tanks have male CGA 320 threads on the output, this thread is used only for CO2. In Europe the thread is designated as W 21.8 x 1/14", and is identical to that of European oxygen tanks, so O2 regulators can be used on CO2 cylinders if necessary.

if you do a search for a cga 320 adaptor for that euro you might come up with something.

is your co2 tank filled? maybe you could get a new valve

 

[timwag2001]

on second thought. if you changed the valve you would prob have trouble filling it
