Check Out The New CO2 Dewar Tank Adapter Needed For CO2 Jets

CGA-622
 CO2 Dewar tanks make a safety change.
Top of Dewar Tank
If you haven't noticed it yet, you will soon.  The standard fitting for Dewar tanks has been changed to ensure safety for companies like Airgas when filling refrigerated liquid Dewar tanks.  For those who have never seen the top of a Dewar tank there are many gauges and fittings that can be quite confusing to the untrained eye, and especially the CO2 jet novice installer.  Not to be alarmed though because they are usually very well marked.  One outlet is the gas hookup, which most nightclubs and production companies use, and it contains the CGA 320 fitting.  Another valve you may notice on the top of the Dewar tank is the pressure builder.  This valve is used to build the pressure in the tank to max operating psi for CO2 jets.  And the last side is the liquid fill side, which is the side you will want to attach your CO2 hose too.  Over the past many years you have been able to attach a standard CGA 320 fitting directly on to the liquid side and operate your CO2 jet system no problem.  However now you will notice the next time you go to attach your cryo hose that it no longer matches to the liquid side.  The new standard for Dewar tanks is a female attachment coming off the tank, which requires a new adapter.  The new adapter required is the CGA-622, sold by Atlanta Special FX.
