Spanish!
Thanks for the correction on the Clesse origin. I think it came up on google on several British companies so I thought it was from your neck of the woods, lol. I've looked for a US seller, but so far no luck. I'll keep looking. On the "Mr. Heater," yeah, it was a bit of work to get that adapter off but once I did I was able to make it work. One end is 3/8" NPT and this end is actually 1/2" FPT, IIRC, once the adapter was pulled. I put a 1/2" MPT - 3/8" barb reducer on that end and good to go. Just 0.5 psi, but it's working as it should.
As @corncob points out, it's the big diaphragm that does the fine control business, not a spring and (sticking) plunger/cylinder (diaphragm makes the regulator look like a flying-saucer).
Thanks on all counts. Sorry on the FNTP - screwed it up. It's FPT or MPT for female or male pipe thread.Look okay. The small diaphragm suggests it won't be as accurate as a Clesse, but I have no idea if I need the accuracy a Clesse provides. Originally, I was looking for something to fill the gap with "common" regulators that are only reliable down to 7.5 or 10PSI (maybe 5 for particularly good ones). Never found 0-10PSI or I'd be still using them now.
Watch out for claims to be 0-... . They can't be used down to zero! But you do see it a lot. Watch out for folk who believe their ordinary regulator will hold to 5PSI. But with one of those 0-10s you shouldn't be in that fantasy group any longer (and welcome to the group I'm in, where, like me, you can be a right pain-in-the-a...).
I've never come across "FNTP", does the "F" stand for "Fine" NTP thread?
You may have had difficulty finding the Clesse regs (except in UK) 'cos they seem to be mostly used for heaters in sheds raising game birds. There's still plenty of rich clowns in the UK who think it's great sport to blast harmless birds, bred specially. out of the sky (and then bulldoze their bodies into a hole). You may have come across "Brooder" looking at those Clesse jobs ... that's what if means.
Don't go looking for your "screw up" ... I read "FNTP" on the Website you linked. "Female", not "fine" ... makes sense.
Hunter - oh we have the same here. Most deer hunters up north "hunt" by putting out bait piles of corn and sitting their asses up in a blind and wait for the deer to walk by, and shoot them. Aside from it being illegal - it encourages deer to crowd together and pass on fatal diseases to each other - we have CWD, or chronic wasting disease - it is killing, not hunting. The problem is bad enough (along with the fact most hunters are unfortunately squarely in the extreme right in our country. I'm the rare breed of moderate leftist who owns guns, shoots well, and hunts the wilds, and have since childhood) that I am not sure my son and I will be returning to the woods any longer.
This isn't a sparkler, just the standard spout, "in the style" of the southern pour.
Sorry, on my cell phone waiting to get a thumb stitched up (don't ask) and missed the end of your post. Thanks man. Pleased at this point, going to be a great pint. I'll put the sparkler on tonight, it will be interesting to note any hop qualities coming out. Though at 50F it's not going to be fully conditioned for awhile yet, so expect it will knock the little CO2 out for now.
Sorry to hear about the thumb, hope they haven't stitched it up too tight. Keep the hand injury elevated at rest, I suggest with pint glass in it.
They said keep it on ice. I said I'd compromise. 50F.
Wouldn't suggest ice directly either.They said keep it on ice. I said I'd compromise. 50F.
I was joking man. You're talking with an old corpsman who as a ******* youngster used to pull wheelchair races down the halls of the ortho ward with his mates on the graveyard shift at Balboa Hospital, or drew his own blood and injected the vacutainer with a surfeit of glucose to send down to the lab inquiring on "Patient _____". Your tax dollars at work.
