Hey all,
Just got new 1600 series Zahm & Nagel ceramic stones in. Hope someone can help me by monday
Our old SS stones came with 2 x opposing 1 1/2(?i think)" triclamp fitting - 1 that connect to the BBT and the other side to connect a butterfly valve to lock the tank off.
The new stones only have the connection to the tank and what I think is a 1/2" female threaded barb. That means we can't attach a valve to lock off the tank.
put it under a bit of pressure yesterday after purging but it's definitely leaking Co2 out through the stone.
Questions:
1) If I simply get a Co2 1/2" male connector and hook it up, will we be fine without the valve assuming we keep enough pressure on the stone? should we consider a no-return?
2) is it essential to get a male thread to tri-clamp so we can hook up a valve before use?
3) anything else I need to consider that I have no mentioned here?
Thanks guys!
