FAQs
Do I need any special tools to install this?
Yes, you will need a size 6 Allen key to tighten the adapter into your regulator.
Can I use this with regulators from other brands?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for JBL ProFlora CO2 pressure regulators.
Is the connection permanent?
No, the conversion is fully reversible, and you can switch back to disposable cylinders at any time.
What thread sizes does this adapter support?
It supports the conversion between M10x1 threads (U-system) and W21.8x1/14 threads (M-system).
Will this adapter affect the pressure output of my regulator?
No, the adapter only changes the physical connection point and does not interfere with the internal pressure regulation mechanisms.
Troubleshooting
CO2 gas leaking from the connection point
Ensure the adapter is tightened sufficiently with the Allen key and check that the internal O-ring is not damaged or missing.
Difficulty threading the adapter into the regulator
Stop immediately to avoid damaging the threads; verify that you are using the correct regulator model and that the threads are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the adapter, ensure your CO2 system is fully depressurized and the valve is closed. Use a size 6 Allen key to carefully screw the adapter into the regulator inlet until it is seated firmly. Verify that the threads are aligned correctly to prevent cross-threading. When switching back to disposable bottles, simply unscrew the adapter. Always inspect the O-rings for wear periodically and ensure they are clean to maintain a gas-tight seal. Keep the adapter in a dry place when not in use.
