If you want to add co2 to 2 tanks but only use 1 bottle i think this is a good way for you to achieve this

put the Y connector first then one of the inline flow controllers on both lines this will allow you to control the bubble rate better for each tank


If you just want to control the flow rate for 1 line then you can use this instead of a normal pin adapter that screws into the bottom of your regulator

Hi Carl, the site does look really good. The only shortfall is the pushfit fittings you picked, they require hardwall nylon or PU tubing to seal on to. The standard CO2 tubing we use would not be suitable by design or diameter. You would also have problems with tight radii as the hard wall tube does not like tight radii, it kinks. At some point you would need to convert back to standard tubing as the hardwall does not lend its self to pushing over barbed ends on glassware or reactors etc. The washers they list as bonded washers look identical to dowty washers and would be perfect for regulators to FE's or CO2 bottles as seals :thumbup: Great find kind regards Colin. :)
