Is that a Propane regulator you're using? Have you hooked if up yet and if so how are you finding it in use?
It is and works perfectly, at around £5 with JG fittings it is a bargain. You have to add the "spile" which is just at the edge of the photo to complete it but it is still less than 1/2 the price I have seen other breathers advertised at.

These are the parts I think I need.

Would you mind listing all the parts you've got in that line along with a photo showing the spile? Read up on the use of these regs last night and would very much like to use one with a Y piece off the CO2 reg so I can run one keg cask style and another at higher pressure.

Follow this thread viewtopic.php?f=38&t=68290&hilit=propane+gas+regulator

Some advice for bits I was given.


What you will need to connect your corny 3/8" beer line up is a 1/2" tube to hose stem for the tubing to the beer engine, found here:

And a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer, found here:

You can leave the hose barb attached to the beer engine and just disconnect the corny and pop the 1/2" tubing over the stem and secure with jubilee clip, that's the easiest way.
