Warning - Important Information

When attaching or disconnecting the regulator to or from a Sodastream or Sodastream compatible cylinder, always hold the neck of the cylinder with a spanner to prevent the cylinder valve from unscrewing

CO2 gas can be dangerous. Make sure to always use CO2 in a well ventilated space

Always perform a leak test prior to use. Failure to do so may result in a leak occuring and the CO2 cylinder or bulb emptying

Do not submerge the regulator in liquid at any time

Ensure the regulator is set to an equal or higher pressure than the keg to prevent liquid ingress. If liquid enters the regulator it can result in the regulator being damaged

Do not overtighten the CO2 cylinder or Co2 bulb onto the regulator

Regularly lubricate the thumb screw assembly, especially if the regulator is used in a cold environment

Regulator Components

NOTE: Output 1 and Output 2 are identical. The duotight compatible barb and the FFL fitting can be used in either outlet as desired, allowing you to change the orientation of the regulator to suit.

NOTE: It is essential to lubricate the thumb screw shaft regularly and prior to first use.

Lubricating Thumb Screw

It is highly recommended to lubricate the thumbscrew before use and at regular intervals to maintain performance. This will assist with ease of operation and is important as a maintenance step if the Mini 360 Regulator is used in adverse environments (such as inside a kegerator or fridge)

Food grade lube such as Mini Haynes Food Grade Lube 28garrow-up-right is ideal.

  1. Disconnect the regulator from the pressure source

  2. Turn the thumb screw all the way anti-clockwise so it’s out as far as it will go

  3. Apply food grade lubricant to the thread or shaft of the thumb screw as shown below. Rotate the thumb screw in both directions to spread the lubricant over the thumb screw components

NOTE: It is completely normal for the thumb screw to be tight when under pressure

When the regulator has a cylinder attached and is under pressure the thumb screw will be more difficult to turn but with moderate force it still will move. When the pressure is released it will become easier to turn.

How To Swap Outputs

  1. Undo the flathead grub screw holding the output end cap in position and remove the output end cap

  1. Insert the output end cap into the unused output and tighten firmly using the grub screw

  2. Insert the required fitting into the output required to be used and tighten firmly using the grub screw

  3. If required (IE if the other output will not be used) insert the end cap into the unused output and tighten the grub screw to hold it in place

Swapping the Mini Gauge

As standard, the Mini 360 Regulator includes a 0-60psi - Mini gauge 27mm x 27mm x 8mm Radial Stemarrow-up-right

If desired, this can be swapped for similar gauges with different ranges:

Another all purpose option is the KL18388 High Accuracy Mini Digital Illuminated Gauge 27mm x 27mm x 8mm 0-90psiarrow-up-right

To swap the installed Mini Gauge:

  1. Unscrew the two socket head cap screws which hold the mini gauge cover in position and remove the mini gauge cover

  1. Carefully pull out the gauge. A small allen key or similar can be used as a lever in the screew sockets, or hold the face plate (be careful to not bend it)

  2. Once removed, install the replacement gauge in the desired orientation and fasten in place with the screws

Replacing the PRV

The Mini 360 Regulator comes with a green 65psi PRV (Pressure Relief Valve). If desired this can be swapped for a different PRV (for example, if you wish to regulate pressures higher than 60psi)

Available PRVs include:

To replace the PRV, simply unscrew the installed PRV (anticlockwise) and thread the replacement into position, ensuring it is snug.
