This is the USA, Canada and Europe Sodastream Adapter
See here for the Australia and New Zealand version.
These custom-made soda stream adapters allow you to use THREADED 400g Soda Stream bottles from North America & Europe with a mini regulator (it screws in where a threaded CO2 bulb would via a 3/8" UNF thread).
You should use a remote gas line between the regulator outlet and the gas disconnect so the gas bottle isn't hanging off the side of the keg!
You can get the remote gas line here. and add a variety of gas bottle adapters to it.
Swapping back and forward between threaded bulbs and sodastream bottles is quick and easy.
- Ensure the seal is inside the adapter and not damaged.
- Screw the adapter onto the gas bottle loosely almost all the way then hold it.
- Screw the regulator onto the adapter finger tight.
- Use a spanner to tighten the last 1/4 turn of the adapter onto the gas bottle firmly to avoid losing any gas.
SodaStream gas bottles hold 400g of CO2 gas and are easy to exchange anywhere from local shops.
This means one gas bottle holds the equivalent of 25 x 16g disposable cartridges.
They work out much cheaper than the disposable option, are better for the environment, but are not as portable or convienient.
Personally we use them for home, then take bulbs with us when we take the keg somewhere.
