C02 Regulator Setup - 03-24-2005, 08:49 PM

Ok Finaly I have my regulator ( Milwalkee)
I am in the process of making the Venturi.
Now I need to find compressed co2 in Philadelphia. I might have to go outside the city as someone told me commercial use only. ( I may have asked for the wrong thing).

I was getting good results with my DIY co2 it just was not steday and accurate.

After I find the GAS & make the Venturi I need to understand how to hook up the regulator to the tank properly and then to the V.


Might anyone be able to provide a link and or summary of steps.

Look in your phone book for AirGas ... I know there is one in Camden, Radnor, and King of Prussia ... I don't know how far away any of those are ... if you use their tanks, a lot of times, you can swap tanks out at any of stores on their truck routes as well (they usually service a lot of pharmacies) ...

Greg ,

That is perfect. Thanks for the advice.


Would a beer distributor work as well ? Same stuff for the kegmachines ?

Yes ... but they seem to like to charge more for the same product <grin>!!! But at the price of gas right now, whatever is closest is probably cheapest <grin>!!! I have to drive 30 miles each way to my closest source <grin> ... that's about $5.04 to drop a tank off, and another $5.04 to pick it up because they won't fill it while you wait <grin> ...

I have three tanks that I use, so I can usually drop one off or pick one up when I had other reasons to be there ... but the gas money still got spent one way or another <grin> ...

And lest anyone else want to complain about gas prices <grin> ... gas in the US is CHEAP compared to almost everywhere else in the world ... when my wife and I travel, I'm used to $4 a gallon gas in many parts of the world, which makes our $2 a gallon gas look cheap ...

I know what you mean about GAS i just took an 85 dollar taxi in Cabo San Lucas for 17 miles of toll road.


Thanks for the tips. I will try the local bev place in Croydon/Bensalem
