CO2 in on the left side of regulator?

[southpawbrew]

I searched around on the existing threads and couldn't find the answer to my problem. Basically on my keezer I have a tight fit for where I need to mount my regulator bank and it would solve a lot of my issues if the co2 in and high pressure gauge could be switched.

Basically I want to put the co2 in on the left side of the bank of regulators and have the high pressure gauge be on the right. Are there any restrictions on this idea? I could change a few things around to avoid this problem but it would be alot cleaner and mount much easier if I could switch the sides.

I appreciate any info you may have.

you will need to get a left hand tread stem and a right hand thread gauge. otherwise, it is the identical arrangement as far as the regulator operation is concerned.

Thanks for the instant response. I thought I was going to have to put off finishing this but now I can get back to it, perfect. My regulators are left hand thread on both sides. So I'l just switch em and mount it up. Thanks again. The HBT community rocks.

your mistaken. the current stem is RHT. the gauge is LHT. thats how you can piggy-back regulator bodies with a RHT-LHT nipple.

Not always the case. Both of my regulators have left-handed threads on the high-pressure IN and OUT.

than i must have some knack for aquiring "standard" reg bodies.

The 3 regs that I was putting together as a bank are LHT for both in and out. I have another that I use for mobile that is RHT in and LHT out.

Just got my bank hooked up and pressure held great, thanks again.
