How do you adjust a Micro Matic regulator?
Slowly turn the regulator adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the output pressure gauge. On regulators designed for draft beer, turning clockwise will increase the output pressure, and turning counter-clockwise will decrease the output pressure.
What are the 2 gauges on a co2 regulator?
A typical dual gauge CO2 gas regulator has a 0-60 lb pressure gauge showing the gas output pressure, and a 0-3000 lb pressure gauge showing the amount of gas remaining in the gas cylinder (tank).
Are CO2 and nitrogen regulators the same?
CO2 vs. Nitrogen and CO2 regulators cannot be interchanged because Nitrogen regulators are designed to withstand higher pressures and have characteristics specific only to nitrogen systems, such as a male thread with conical fittings. If you plan to dispense beer using Nitrogen, you cannot use a CO2 regulator.
How do you tap a Micromatic keg?
Ensure the keg coupler handle is in the upright (OFF) position. Align the triangular coupler opening with the keg valve. Place keg coupler onto the valve and turn clockwise to engage into position (about 90 degrees). Press the handle downward (ON) this will allow gas to enter the keg and beer to flow out of the keg.
What is the normal pressure for the CO2 tank?
about 860 psi
CO2 cylinder pressure is about 860 psi at normal room temperature. Typical CO2 cylinders store about 100 lbs. of liquid CO2.
What is the difference between a CO2 regulator and a nitrogen regulator?
What pressure should a full CO2 tank read?
Q: At what pressure should I run my CO2 regulator? A: For the standard 5 ft. run found in kegerators and most kegerator conversions, 10-12 PSI is recommended.
Does a kegerator need CO2?
An essential part of dispensing beer from your kegerator involves your carbon dioxide (CO2) Tank. To get the perfect pour, your CO2 tank needs to be properly installed and optimized to deliver you the best taste.
