Figured I would start this thread to help others make a cheap and simple TAD - CO2 tank conversion.
When I get the rest of my equipment in I'll continue on.
Parts needed to connect to TAD.
1. 5/8" hose washer
2. 3/4" - 1/2" threaded adapter - pvc
3. 1/2" threaded - 3/8" OD compression fitting (or any size you choose)
4. 1/4" ID 3/8" OD poly hose (to fit your compression pieces)
5. 3/8" t-compression fittings if doing more than one keg. You will need the number of kegs minus one for multiple kegs. I will eventually have 4 TADs in the fridge, why I have three.
6. 1/4" threaded to 1/4" barb fitting
7. CO2 Regulator
8. CO2 Tank (5lbs in my case)
9. Tap A Draft Keg Spigot
A. file any burrs off #2
B. Attach #1 into #9. Put it all the way in where your small CO2 cartridge would go
C. Thread #3 to #2 using three to four wraps of Teflon. I wrenched them together until they stopped. They are attached in picture
D. Thread #2 with Teflon and screw it into place into the CO2 receptacle in #9
E. Cut and attach all your hoses to #4 and #5.
F. Attach #6 to#7 if necessary
G. Open valve, add 20 psi, enjoy beerView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1446089163.716658.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1446089188.435068.jpg
