Knob for valve on CO2 Tank needed

The plastic knob that turns the valve for my 5 lb. CO2 tank broke.

Any ideas on where to get a replacement? Thanks.

A knob shop?











I'd wait until it's refil time.

Yep. That's what I've been using so far. This tank sits in my ChestFreezerator for carbing 3 kegs at one time, so I'm not turning the valve on and off, but it's getting a bit light, so it's time for a refill. Perhaps AirGas will have something, but I personally doubt it.

go to your local welding supply shop or your gas supplier. I believe our Airgas dealer sells all sorts of things like that.

Here we go again......

Well a true EAC will never tell you. He'll tell you to go find out for yourself. Then when you know he'll be willing to discuss it with you.
He will be willing to help you if you are willing to help yourself.
If you aren't then they'll just leave it be or make a smart comment.


Search is a wonderful tool.

It's even in the Wiki and it's one of the longest most viewed threads on here.

I equate EAC with being a BOFH of the homebrew world. I don't think I qualify for the club yet, myself, though.

Never heard of BOFH before but I think I may of been one.

I like this.

Well I had tried searching, but nothing comes up for EAC, I'm at work and jump on off and on so I haven't had time to scour all the pages. I did however find the Wiki page.....which I'd never seen before....so thanks for that.
I wasn't sure how to take the comment before, haha!
Although I've still not figured out what SWMBO is...........

Which are you?

Hmmm. It seems we have a few of these.

I think we have one or two of these.

EAC = East Australian Current

At least so sayeth the turtles on Finding Nemo...lol but keep searching.

Newbies are so cute. Weird that they exhibit some kind of zombie kinship with the dead-thread resurrection thing...

Cheers!

Hey ed, thanks for all the recipes. I have brewed many with great results. Please pm me or post a picture of your tank along with the manufacturer of the tank as well as what manufacterer stamp is on the valve. I should be able to get a replacement.

I have a feeling it's been taken care of sometime in the last 6 1/2 years.

LMAO!
