King Keg valve question

[Witespune]

Hi all.
Could someone let me know please if this is the correct valve on my kingkeg to buy the S30 bulb holder for 8gr C02 pin bulbs.

Many thanks I’m advance.

No you need the one with a central pin

As @Cheshire Cat says, the connector you have there is not for bulbs but is for the larger L30 cylinders.

I used to use these but you have to have a local brew shop that stocks them as I don’t know of any suppliers that will/can send them through the “post”. They’re more economical on gas IMO.

If you want to use CO2 bulbs you need the pin valve conversion. It’s about £1.80, just drops in, and is retained with a rubber o-ring.

I wrote lots about this, and probably everything else you might want to know about pressure barrels in the How To’s section if you want to know more.
