Gas Feed Into Regulator

[Addled Jim]

Does anybody know if the feed from the bottle going in to the left could be changed over to the right and the pressure gauge moved to the left – or does this have to be configured this way?
My issue is I’m trying to make the installation as neat and inconspicuous as possible?

cheers, stuck at work, copied link and sent in to email here - obviously not correctly!

I'm pretty sure that the whole of the centre 'channel' is all on the high pressure [side] of the system, so it would work fine if you swapped them over.

The only uncertainty is which way the HP gauge would face when it was screwed in.

[Addled Jim]

You mean it may be facing the wall?

My other alternative is to mount it vertically, then the job would be neater too; obviously the dials would be harder to read?

Yes. Or even half way between.

That's probably a better idea than swapping gauges around. It's easy to end up with annoying slow leaks once you start unscrewing stuff.

[Addled Jim]

yes I had concerns all round re unscrewing, its just the neatness issue; would be so much better the other way
Think its best to play safe and vertically mount

It looks similar to my reg set, a 3 way adapter. The gauges will be low pressure, so no need to move em round, the high pressure gauge should be on the bottle?

Yeah just had a look on eBay you should have one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CO2-Primary-V ... 258406ff20


And then as many of these as you like. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beer-gas-regu ... 2ed05ad2a4

[Addled Jim]

Yes the high pressure is out of shot, my question was can I have the feed from the bottle coming in on the right then high pressure gauge on right?
Don't think I'm going to bother now just attach to wall vertically

[far9410]

Yes you can, no need to move gauges

[Addled Jim]

Yes you can, no need to move gauges

yes I can mount vertically?

[far9410]

Yes, you can mount vertically, but I meant you can feed from either side

[Addled Jim]

but that means swapping high presure gauge to left where gas line from bottle goes in, and gas to the right - above says no need to move gauges?

+1 to just turning it.
Keep it simple.

Why risk a PITA leak?

After losing a cylinder of CO2 in 2 days due to one in the past I wouldn't risk it.
