co2 manifold.....?
co2 manifold.....?
Hi all can you help me out please.
I am about to buy my second corny and i'm trying to find or build a co2 manifold or a separate pressure gauge with tap i can fit straight to the in port on the keg but i'm have trouble finding this equipment.
any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
cheers.......Kev

Re: co2 manifold.....?
Norm sometimes sells them on ebay (normannumpa) but he doesn't have any at the moment. I made my own manifold to suit my needs, but it worked out to be fairly expensive, it is nice quality though. Cost about £80 for 5 gas outputs, I can take a photo and list the parts if you're interested, but it's fairly time consuming sourcing the parts.

Check out this link, I know that its in the US but if you can't find parts where you are it might be worth it.
Cheers

Re: co2 manifold.....?
jubby if you have the time that would be great if you would. thanks
I dont really think 80 quid is that expensive when you look at what you've got.
can you find my e mail address from my profile or should i post it on here for you.
thanks again for this.........Kev

Re: co2 manifold.....?
Here we are Kev. Photo's first, then a list of stuff from here: http://www.tom-parker.co.uk/index.php?v=1&recall=true&
Gas line from regulator to John Guest (JG) bulkhead fitting into the fridge. There is a 'Y' piece with a length of pipe and a corny gas disconnect spare, to gas up kegs outside the fridge.
Gas manifold inside the fridge. You can see the other side of the bulkhead connector here. The brass manifold is fitted to an alloy plate which fits into the fridge shelf supports.
You would have to make up something similar for your type of fridge.
View underneath the manifold. You can see the chrome swivel joints fitted into the manifold with the taps fitted into them.
And a photo of the whole lot.
Parts:
5 taps 1/4 BSP male/female. P/N B/V11-04 (if you use a 4 port manifold)
1 Manifold. P/N BMB04/04 (this is a 4 port with an additional in and out at each end, so total usable ports 5.Number of ports is your choice)
5 Swivel adapters for taps. P/N ZS2541-1414
7 JG 3/8 to 1/4BSP adapters. JGP1011202S
1 JG Bulkhead connector 3/8. P/NJGPI1212S
2 JG swivel elbows. JGPI221212S
2 JG equal elbows. JGPI0312S
Bag of locking clips (optional) JGPIC1812R
You need some pipe and a 'Y' 3/8 JG adapter if you want a spare gas disconnect. You can get them here: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/lig5150/m.html?_ ... m=&_ipg=25
You also need an adapter to fit 3/8 JG pipe to your regulator and a spare corny gas disconnect fitted with a 3/8 JG fitting if required.
If you want any of the kegs at higher pressures for lager etc, then you will need a 3/8 JG non return valve in the gas line to that keg.
I am pretty sure that I have covered everything. Good luck.

Re: co2 manifold.....?
Although Norm doesn't have any manifolds on eBay, he might well have some, or be able to get them quickly. I got a three way one when I first got started with cornies and it's been a godsend.
I'd drop him a mail and ask - I think the three way was £60 at the time.
(The board and the valves are my additions)

have mailed norm to see if he has one for the right price if not i'll have to build one.
thanks again lads

Re: co2 manifold.....?
Here's a homemade manifold in my chest freezer. Cost about 90% of a store bought one. Home made is expandable.

looks good where did you get your bits and bobs from......? also need separate pressure gauges for mine if you know of a good shop.

Re: co2 manifold.....?
I went to a big box store (Home Depot) and bounced between the plumbing and air compressor accessories areas. Not surprised that the same piece may go for $1 less, solely because it's purpose is different.
For separate pressure gauges and regulators, unless you're in the US, I'll defer to the locals.
