Description

Co2 Gas Bottles Valve

To suit a 2.6kg and 6.0kg CO2 Bottle. If you need this product, please have it installed by a trained gas professional. 

These Type 30 CO2 Cylinder valves have a tapered thread and work with most cro-molly alloy steel cylinders and many other steel cylinder types such as fire extinguishers.

Most aluminium cylinders use a parallel thread, so this would not be suitable for these cylinder types.

This cylinder valve has been designed and manufactured to Australian standards Type 30.

The cylinder includes a 3000psi safety burst disk and an RPV (residual pressure valve).

If you need to adjust the RPV for some reason, this can be done by following the instruction sheet attached at the top of this page.

Additional Information

CO2 Gas Cylinder Valve RPV Adjustment.

In some instances the RPV (residual pressure valve) can be assembled too tight.  This causes no gas to be able to flow out of the gas cylinder.  
As a result it can appear that the cylinder is empty when in actual fact it’s still full and just no gas is flowing out of the valve. 
To rectify this issue it’s quite simple and can be done with some simple tools. 
If you have a 2.6kg cylinder the weight of this cylinder type is about 10kg when the cylinder is full of gas. 
If you have a 6.0keg cylinder the weight of this cylinder type is about 20kg when the cylinder is full of 
gas. 
So by checking the weight first you can determine if you have gas in the cylinder and therefore determine that it’s more likely that the cylinder RPV is simply done up too tight. 

Step 1 – Check you have no gas trapped behind the RPV valve
Turn the gas valve off (the black handle on top of the cylinder  valve). Then use a small screw driver, nail or something small and pointy and push down the brass pin at the middle of the valve (see arrow below). If you have gas trapped behind the RPV  this will be released.  Keep pushing this pin until all gas is 
released from behind the RPV.  Should only take 1‐2 seconds. 
  
Step 2 – Unscrew the PRV 
Now that you have completed step 2 you can safely remove the RPV using a 5mm allen key/Hex key.  
  
Step 3 – Loosen the RPV

As the RPV was too tight to let gas out of the cylinder you now need to loosen the RPV. 
As you can see below you can do this by simply unscrewing part 1 and part 2.  Only loosen by ½ turn then reinsert back into the cylinder valve. Now gas should be able to flow out of the RPV device freely.
