[Help] Mismatch CO2 Regulator

**uglyduckling** · 3rd May 2015, 03:36

While connecting the regulator to co2 cylinder, I realized that they are mismatched.

The gauges suppose to stand up, not lying down like in the pic.
I have to remove the built-in buble counter and connect the pipe dirrectly.
I found that the regulator should go with the tank like this (the yellow metal part)

It's like I used the regulator typed A-153 with the cylinder A-159.
Is there any valve connector (or adapter) that can be placed in between?

Just return back to C328 with your current A-159 model and change it to the A-158 model.

Maybe I'll ask for change when refill the tank. Yesterday I saw only one 2L aluminium cylinder there, dont think they have the other type.
Currently the system still works, just that it doesnt look nice

I guess you could also use suitable sized metal L-joint screw-fit connectors designed for pressurized Co2 tanks, probably have to buy from pneumatic equipment supply stores.

20150510_110721.jpg I am letting go of my Co2 regulator without cylinder tank because of gas leak. I don't know if they doesn't fit or because too less plastic tape at the connection point. So, i am giving up rearing plants. Interested, you may let me know in the forum.
