Cant gas my keg with c02 bottle

[wiccaman]

Hi All
Am trying to gas my frst keg with one of those c02 cartridges, and the winged screw on holder.
Have managed to strip the thread, and am not sure if the connector is the rigt one, it has no pin in the middle, has a dip with hole in.
Can anyone give me a bit of help ?

Thanks
Chris

Remove the o ring and take the insert out, flip it over and it should have pin in the other side!

Think mine must be different, no pin, ???

No insert? Try the love brewing website, they have a cross section of the valve, if none fitted you might be stumped.

Your keg lid is fine, the problem is the valve that you have is not designed to be used with the co2 bulb cartridges like you are trying to do. You could get this to adapt your current valve:

Or you can buy a new valve to use with the co2 bulbs, or you could get some a s30 co2 cylinder to use with your current valve (much better than the bulbs IMO)

Hope this helps.
