Soda stream thread

[TJP]

I have been searching for a definitive answer as to what thread the Australian Sodastream bottles have but can't find the answer, from the look of it http://www.aquariumlife.com.au/showthread.php/58577-sodastream-thread-specifications is a CGA320 but I would like some confirmation. I am hoping to see if I could get my hands on one of these https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Soda-stream-co2-regulator-Soda-water_60164201053.html but need to check what thread is required as I know they can vary around the world. I have done plenty of searching but most of it points to dead links.

I note from your link, the minimum order is 100, are you considering a bulk buy? You could check with KegKing they produce an adaptor so would know the thread size worse case they don't tell you, more likely they will.

Oh and if you can't get these in less than 100, you could see if someone like kegking would take on the product. I'd buy one or 3.....

I purchased one from here
http://www.co2art.co.uk/collections/adapters/products/advance-adapter-for-sodastream-cylinder-to-use-with-standard-aquarium-co2-regulators

Has a knob which screws a pin down to release gas from the soda stream bottle, means you can leave the reg attached but turn the gas off.
Very simple to use .

That seems more elegant than the KegKing one, but it is double the price I suppose... Horses for courses

I found the KK one very difficult to use having to screw the pin in and it leaked .
I lost a bottle and a half of gas and gave up.

This worked first time with out leaks and is much more convenient in how it works and what it does.

yes it is more expensive but to me it was worth it.

In other similar listings of his, he say's he is happy to do samples and low MOQ even though the MOQ is listed as 100 so will tell him I am after a sample. I have just emailed another adapter supplier to see if I can find out from them so will see how that goes.

That adapter looks good, I especially like the fact that it is 90 degree angle, part of my issue is that I want to keep it in the normal fridge but bottle plus normal reg is starting to get quite long. Ideally, the Alibaba guy can make them with the correct thread so then I won't need to get an adapter as well but I will find out when I can confirm the thread size.

Looks good
1 does it take a standard co2 regulator
2 what was the cost delivered to Aus

Yes it screws onto a standard regulator
Not sure on total cost as I bought mine about a year ago. Easy to check from their website.

Found this http://www.luxfercylinders.com/support/53-tped-liquefied-gas-cylinder-markings and got excited however the marking says M14 but the thread is more like 20mm so realised that that must be the thread into the actual tank, not the thread you screw onto.
After some measuring, it seems pretty likely that it is the CGA320 thread and I have found a few other vague references to this being the case.
Although the listing looks to have the correct thread I am currently doubtful that it has the ability to depress the pin but have messaged to find out.

2 what was the cost delivered to Aus

about $43 delivered to mine, twice what the basic ones are available for locally.

They would theoretically make them easier for refilling I would imagine but still not sure if/where you could get it done.

Hi Guys well just brought 2 of those advanced sodastream adapters from C02 Art they work great they cost around $35 each delivered.

The thread on the Sodastream bottle is not a CGA 320 thread.

From my measurements it's a 1/2" "G" series pipe thread (formerly known as BSP Parallel). http://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/PDChart/G-series-Fine-thread-data.html.

Edit: I just ran a 1/2" BSP tap up the threads on my SO's sodastream machine and it's a fit.

Just bought one tonight, 35 bucks nice addition to my kit.
Better than my keg king version

That adapter looks great, could it be used to fill the soda stream bottle ?

 

[ziggy459]

Hi Larkins

well I don't know if you could fill a SS bottle with this adapter.. you may be able to by laying a lager co2 cyl down and allow the liquid to pass to the SS bottle, but I think it would be a big risk.

But this new units from https://www.co2art.co.uk/collections/co2-adapters/Adapter-Inlet-Type_ are a far better adapter than Keg King I also brought one from them wish I hadn't.

looking at some info will get and post when Iam done.

How does the tap on the CO2art one work? Is is just winding down and depressing the pin in the valve of the soda stream cylinder?
