The All-New Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator brought to you by KegLand is the most versatile mini regulator on the market. After much feedback on how to make mini regulators more compact, sturdy and efficient, the brilliant engineers at KegLand have come up with this mini-beast. This extremely versatile mini regulator can be used with either an Australian Sodastream Canister, the or the smaller disposable If you would like to use the larger you can purchase the .

The Mini 360 also doubles as the perfect regulator for a Nitro setup! Just add the and one of our , slap a on your and you are good to go!

Unlike other regulator designs this new design requires no sodastream adaptor and you do not have the issues of trying to screw the bulb or sodastream cylinder into the regulator while gas leaks everywhere. This robust, convenient and superior design is just what you need for any portable keg system.

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

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.

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 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.

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

As standard, the Mini 360 Regulator includes a

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

• KL14984

• KL14991

• KL15011

Another all purpose option is the KL18388

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

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:

• KL22569 PRV

• KL05333 PRV

• KL03070 PRV

• KL09164 PRV

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

Pressure Creep | Seat and Seat Cap Assembly Replacement

All regulators contain parts that are susceptible to ingress of contamination. Although the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator is made from high quality components and assembled in a clean environment it’s possible that throughout its life that some contamination can get into the regulator (normally through the inlet side).

For example, if a keg is completely full and at a higher pressure than the regulator is set to, then beer can enter the regulator through the outlet when the keg is connected. Always pulling the PRV of the keg to release headspace pressure will help prevent this from happening and is best practice whenever a CO2 Cylinder and regulator is connected to a keg.

If this contamination is able to get past the integrated sintered filter you may get “pressure creep”. Pressure creep is when contamination or something else has got into the seat and seat cap assembly and the flow of gas doesn’t stop even when the set pressure is reached.

This will often be noticed if the needle on the pressure gauge continues to rise until the pressure relief valve opens and pressure is released. If this happens repeatedly then it’s likely you will need to perform this maintenance process.

NOTE: The seat and seat cap assembly is the same part used inside the KegLand MK4 Regulator and is interchangeable. The required part is KL15646

1. With a small screw driver remove the two grub screws on both sides of the regulator knob

1. Once these grub screws have been removed the regulator black knob can be completely undone and removed as shown below

1. Using a set of needle nose pliers remove the piston diaphragm

1. With a 16mm or 5/8” socket set remove the seat and seat cap assembly. Please ensure the black o-ring comes out with this assembly. If the o-ring doesn’t come out at the same time you may have to remove the o-ring separately with a pointy object or pick tool.

Replace the brass seat and seat cap assembly with a new one. Ensure that you adequately tighten this seat cap assembly and then re-assemble the regulator in the reverse order.

If for some reason you get gas leaking from the base of the thumb screw it’s possible that you have blown the o-ring on the thumb screw shaft. To replace this o-ring follow the steps below

1. Follow the steps 1-4 above for

2. Once the seat and seat cap has been removed in step 4 the thumb screw can be completely removed. Simply unscrew in the anti-clockwise direction

1. Inspect the o-ring in the image above and replace if necessary

2. Re-assemble the regulator in the same sequence as you took the components apart.

Connections

The Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator is a fantastically versatile regulator. There are two outputs with different orientations, either of which can be fitted with an included MFL fitting or a 6.35mm duoptight barb. To swap outputs please refer to How To Swap Outputs

There are several different ways to connect gas tubing and/or disconnects to the Mini 360. For example, you can use a KL24242 duotight 6.35mm (1/4'') x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Grey + Red Gas) on the 6.35mm barb at a right angle for use (for example) on a 19L cornelius Keg (see below.

Connecting the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator directly to a keg in this manner is thus extremely simple to setup.

Connecting Disconnects to Mini 360

Duotight Disconnects

Doutight Disonnects are ideal for the Mini 360. It is recommended to use the included 6.35mm duotight barb fitting. Install this in the desired output first, and blank off the unused output if required.

KL24242 This is directly compatible with the included 6.35mm duotight barb. simply push the disconnect directly onto the barb, ensuring that it is fitted up to the indicator on the disconnect. These are the recommended duotight Disconnects to use with the Mini 360.

KL20756 First, connect a KL42642 to the included 6.35mm duotight barb. Then connect the 8mm duotight Disconnect to the corresponding 8mm male barb

KL20770 First, connect a KL08648 to the included 6.35mm duotight barb. Then use a KL45735 to connect the 9.5mm duotight Disconnect

Installing KL02967

It is generally best to use the output immediately below the gauge when connecting the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator to a KL02967 . Ensure the FFL outlet is installed in this orientation then thread the disconnect onto the FFL thread. No nylon flare washer is required to seal in this configuration

Installing stainless MFL Disconnects (KL03001 & KL09546 )

It is generally best to use the output adjacent to the gauge when connecting the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator to a stainless MFL Disconnect. Ensure the FFL outlet is installed in this orientation then thread the disconnect onto the FFL thread.

A KL03032 is required to seal in this configuration

You may wish to connect the gas ball lock disconnect to the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator with a length of tubing rather than directly. This can be useful if using the Mini 360 with a jockey box or similar. It is also generally better when using the Mini 360 to charge PET kegs such as the , as these are much lighter than stainless kegs and thus may not directly support the weight of the regulator.

EABarrier tubing is recommended, as it is directly compatible with the included 6.35mm duotight barbed outlet.

1. Install the included 6.35mm duotight barbed outlet in the output of choice

2. Attach a suitable duotight joiner or reducer to the barb. See chart below. Ensure it is firmly seated.

3. Push the end of the correctly sized EVABarrier into the duotight fitting, ensuring it is cut clean and square and is fully inserted.

6.35mm OD EVABarrier - use KL37259

8mm OD EVABarrier - use KL07481

9.5mm OD EVABarrier - use KL08648 Reducer

If you wish to use non duotight compatible tubing (such as vnyl tubing) or if you prefer to use clamps rather than duotight fittings then use the included 6.35mm duotight barb. Once this is installed in the output of choice then push the end of the tubing over the barb and secure with a suitable stepless clamp.

KL06682 are generally a good fit, although this can depend on the OD (outer diamter) of the line.

If you find it difficult to get the tubing over the barb you can heat it up in warm or hot water and stretch the internal diameter using needle nose pliers. NOTE: 4mm ID EVABarrier is very difficult to stretch over a 6.35mm barb and is not recommended for that reason.

When using EVABarrier tubing with the Mini 260 Core Actuator Regulator, it is easy to tee off the gas line to carbonate and/or dispense multiple kegs at once.

Simply use an appropriate tee piece to split the line as required - one tee pice services two kegs, two tee pieces service three kegs etc.

KL06149 are a great portable option for dispensing on the go with smaller volume kegs. They are not suggested for use for both carbonating and dispensing as this will require a large number of gas bulbs to be used, typically with about 6g per litre of CO₂ used for carbonating and 6g per litre of CO₂ used for dispensing.

1. Ensure you have the 16g CO­₂ reducing bush tightened onto the inlet

2. Unscrew the thumb screw. Do not unscrew until there is thread exposed on the thumb screw - we want the actuator pin sufficently retracted so that the bulb can be inserted without piercing the bulb

3. Screw the 16g CO₂ bulb into the reducing bush

KL16889 are perfect for parties, picnics and gatherings where you are dispensing more beer than might be viable with the smaller 16g bulbs.. They are not suggested for use for both carbonating and dispensing as this will require a large number of gas bulbs to be used, typically with about 6g per litre of CO₂ used for carbonating and 6g per litre of CO₂ used for dispensing.

NOTE: Requires an optional bushing KL20213 NOT INCLUDED

1. Thread the optional KL20213 74g Cartridge Adapter into the Mini 360. You will need to first remove the 16g bulb bushing if installed. Ensure it is snug but not over-tightened

2. Unscrew the thumb screw. Do not unscrew until there is thread exposed on the thumb screw - we want the actuator pin sufficently retracted so that the bulb can be inserted without piercing the bulb

3. Screw the 74g Big Bulb CO₂ bulb into the reducing bush

If you were looking for a more cost-effective but still portable CO₂ source than CO₂ bulbs a Sodastream cylinder or can be used. This doesn’t require an adaptor to be used. Using a Mini 360 Regulator with a Sodastream Compatible Cylinder can also be a great option for kegerators or fermenting chambers if space is limited.

1. Unscrew the 16g bulb reducing bush on the inlet Iif fitted)

2. Unscrew the thumb screw. Do not unscrew until there is thread exposed on the thumb screw - we want the actuator pin sufficently retracted so that the bulb can be inserted without engaging the poppet of the Sodastream cylinder

3. Screw the Sodastream cylinder into the regulator, making sure to hold the neck of the Sodastream cylinder in place while attaching and detaching

The Mini 360 Core Actuating Regulator is a fantastic option for regulating nitrogen from a KL25317 .

NOTE: Requires an optional bushing KL32087 NOT INCLUDED

1. Thread the optional KL20213 74g Cartridge Adapter into the Mini 360. You will need to first remove the 16g bulb bushing if installed. Ensure it is snug but not over-tightened

2. Unscrew the thumb screw. Do not unscrew until there is thread exposed on the thumb screw - we want the actuator pin sufficently retracted so that the bulb can be inserted without engaging the poppet of the Sodastream cylinder

3. Screw the disposable M10 threaded N2 cylinder into the regulator, making sure to hold the neck of the cylinder in place while attaching and detaching. Do not overtighten. These are a face sealing bushing so do not need to be super tight to seal. Over tightening the bushing or the cylinder can cause damage to the seal and can also block the flow of gas.

Turn the adjustment dial on the regulator clockwise to increase the set pressure.

To decrease the set pressure turn the adjustment knob completely anti clockwise and then release the pressure downstream of the regulator (by pulling on the PRV of the keg). Then turn the dial clockwise to reset the pressure at the desired pressure.

Always ensure the pressure on the regulator is equal to or higher than the pressure of the keg to avoid liquid flowing back into the regulator. It is highly suggested to use a check valve in your system () to prevent this from occurring in the event that your gas cylinder becomes empty and you are unaware of a pressure drop in the regulator. If liquid flows back into the regulator it may result in the regulator becoming damaged, hence, this should be avoided.

If the regulator does get liquid inside for any reason, this will likely result in pressure creep. Pressure creep is when contamination or something else has got into the seat and seat cap assembly and the flow of gas doesn’t stop even when the set pressure is reached. You will see the indicated gauge pressure increase until the PRV starts venting, irrespective of the regulator knob position - this is pressure creep.

If this happens repeatedly then it’s likely you will need to .

It is essential that a leak test is performed every time a gas bulb or Sodastream cylinder is connected to the Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator. This can be performed via the methods described below.

1. Ensure a disconnect is connected to an output of the Mini 360, and that the other output is sealed.

2. Attach the CO₂ source to the regulator

3. Turn the adjustment dial on the regulator to register 5-10 psi on your pressure gauge

1. Ensure a disconnect is connected to an output of the Mini 360, and that the other output is sealed.

2. Attach the CO₂ source to the regulator

3. Turn the adjustment dial on the regulator to register 20-30 psi on your pressure gauge

• Between the gas bulb/cylinder and regulator

• Between the regulator body and the 360° FFL fitting or 360° 6.5 mm duotight compatible barb

• Between the regulator body and the output end cap

• Between the 360° FFL fitting and ball lock disconnect (if applicable)
