WARNING
I HAVE NOT TRIED OR TESTED THIS YET, IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
admin/mods feel free to move this as I was not sure where to post this
iv been using a mini/easy keg's for a month or so and wanted to make a co2 injector on the cheap and having looked around on the net and talking to a member on here . I thought I would have a go at making one so here is my very basic how to.
Im use the mini kegs with the built in tap and a standard 3 piece bung
so what you need is
a black 3 piece bung (with the red bits) you could use a Gray bung but I dont have any
and a tyre valve http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221003911234?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
you will need a co2 pump (I dont have one yet)
took a few pics as I put it together. (sorry if the pics are not all that clear)
all the bits layed out
i took the valve to bits and put it back together in a different way.
I might need to put a tap washer under the bolt but until I test it in dont know
I have taken the red bits out of the bung
the valve pushes into the bung (you can see the vent hole in the side of the bung)
the rubber washer that would fit against in the inside of the rim fits nicely in the top of the bung and closes off the the small vent hole in the side of the bung
a nice close fit
with the nut of the top pinches it all up tight (not to tight as you could crush the bung)
iv not tested it as yet as i dont have a empty keg spare and not get a co2 injector(bike pump) yet. i will test in with just a hand bike pump when i can find it in the shed.
i have got a digital tyre gauge i will check the pressure with.
