Need help with co2 fittings

[bigvalen]

 I thought I had a co2 regulator in a bag of bits I've had a while. How ever, it doesn't quite go on the value I picked up in AJ Edge last week. The only other regulators I have are mixed gas, and no idea where to get my mixed bottle refilled.

Are there slightly incompatible co2 fittings ? Anywhere that sells these near Dublin, on the weekend ?

Ah, dammit. Seems the gas lines I had are too wide to go into the quick disconnect fittings. Seems I'll nee to go buy them too.

Where did reg come from
There is a standard size that AJ supply and the world of homebrewing use but that reg looks like it's for welding gas what's the scale reading?

It could have been an American regulator..I inherited it from an American in work. Looks like it goes to four bar.

You can replace that nut somebody did it here recently

Oh, cool. Gas supplier might have one ?

Brew Crew are the ones to go to for that.  Also the Irish Oxygen Co. in Cork will do mixed gas, but you'll have to rent/buy cylinders from them. 

BOC no longer do mixed gas for individuals.

So, got all gas working. Though, while waiting on some new taps, I thought I'd get something out of some junk I had left around. Seems I have insufficient fittings for those too.

First one has a really long shank, with a hole at the back. Any idea what fits onto that ?




Second looks like a Guinness specific thing. Seems to have gas and beer input. What is that called ?

Will your beerline fit into the connection at the back of the shank?

second piece is a gas Tpiece used in bars, its a valve to turn gas supply on/off to individual keg

The second picture is a gas line splitter. There are usually a line of these in the cellar. The gas feeds through the fitting and the keg is connected to to outlet. The valve then allows the gas to flow to the keg or not. So when you change a keg:

Turn off the gas.
Change keg
Turn on the gas

So, after three days at 12psi, I got some taps, hooked it up..beer came out nice and fast..but with no carbonation. This confuses me.

Looks good, mind.

You need to carbonate at low temperatures for at least a week to get the co2 into solution at that pressure. At higher temps try higher pressures. I used to to that up to 3 bar short term but you risk permanently flattening your rubber sealing ring
