Who does CO2 refills in Christchurch + Sanke fittings?

[Ralph]

Hi all, 

Am well on the way to getting a keg setup up and going but need to know where to refill a CO2 bottle?

Also I have a couple of Sanke connectors (to go with the Sanke kegs) but I am a bit short on connectors that would go from the coupler to the hose. I think it is a 5/8ths threaded nut with a barb that will fit about a 6mm line that I need. Anyone know if I can get hold of these here in NZ or is it easier to import a few?

Thanks!

Asco in Hornby for CO2. Rocked up the other day $30 for a refill.

Sweet as. Thanks.

Would something like this work on the couplers?

Nah, wrong thread on the nut (way too small), but that is the sort of thing I am looking for.

Oops. Not thinking! I'd read 6.35mm as the thread size, not the line ID.

If you are using some 6mm PVC tubing, then connect this to one end:

And fit it into a 5/8x5/16 female gas coupler (I use these on both the gas and beer connectors on my Micromatic Sanke adapters):

Nice. Thanks Chris. I assume Ultra flow sell to public and are happy to ship?

I've only ever done cash sales for a few pieces at a time and I can't imagine they'd turn away business. You might have a little trouble getting an order filled this week, but in the new year it should be fine. Let me know if you get stuck.
