Does anyone know if there is a adapter to got from a schrader tire valve to 1/4 mfl? I want to use a co2 tire inflator to dispense from a keg and I already own the inflator from my bike riding days. I haven't been able to find the adapter to make it work and figure someone out there came up with an idea to do this.

Thanks in advance.
 
I used the 3" for mine, but if you can get away with the 4"....

Did you ever figure this out? I am in the same predicament.
 
Nice find. A bit more than I want to spend, but even so, I have over 30 16-gram co2 cartridges on hand. Just need that adapter. Will probably just get this and run a short bev line hose between it and the quick-disconnect:

Having a hard time finding this item in the US though. The one above is in Canada, so $13+ for shipping to Calif. Eeek.

Yeah I made my own one time because I was pouring at an an event and when I went to get my beer out of my fridge the CO2 had all leaked out over night and of course it was a Sunday so my usual filling place was closed.

What I ended up doing was cutting the valve out of a tire and using a short piece of beverage line hose clamped to it and a ball lock fitting. Then when I poured I just hit it briefly with the CO2 tire gun thing. The whole thing leaked Co2 like crazy but it was enough to pour that day. I keep it around in case i need it again. Pretty hokey overall though.
 
I ended up just getting two different pieces:

1. Schrader valve to 1/8" NPT male
2. 1/8" NPT Female to 1/4" hose barb

Will put some Teflon tape on the threads.
