Corny Air Trap

[Sanspareil]

Thought I would share an easy corny gas disconnect air trap. Purchased a PEX fitting. Removed the center scew top on the gas disconnect, cut that part down to just below the threads. (this allows the disconnect to still operate properly.) Teflon taped the PEX fitting. Screw it into the gas disconnect. Pushed my air lock into the PEX fitting. Capped the gas out threads. Done.

The Air lock fits perfectly in the PEX fitting!

Sorry, I posted a picture, but I guess I am the only one that can see it. It is in my gallery. I will try and figure out how to make it so everyone can see it.

I was about to have a chuckle about an old idea that circulated around here but to my surprise, the website is still around.

Me, I'd just remove the whole post and push a piece of 3/8" ID tubing over the threads.

I run a gas disconnect with a blow off tube connected to a Burton Unit for the heavy krausen then after heavy ferm has died down I switch to this.
This method allows me to then attach liquid disconnects and push CO2 through a filter to my brite tank/serving corny. If I disconnect the gas poppet I can't transfer using CO2 without having to assemble the gas poppet.
I'm way to lazy to have to do that.
