Kidde I-valve
Sort of metal related...
Came across a couple of 75# CO2 tanks used in a Kidde fire extinguisher setup. They currently have Kidde I-Valves installed. The fortunate(?) part is that the tanks are still full, and hence the dilemma. I would like to adapt the I-Valve to something more "normal" for now, and then once the tank is empty put on a CGA-580 valve. The second part is easy, but I am not having much luck finding out what even interfaces to the I-Valve and then any method to adapt it to a regulator. I don't want to spend a lot, as it is just to salvage the gas that is in the tank. So the solution has to be pretty cheap (~$20-30), or there is little net gain to just venting the tanks and then swapping the valve and refilling. Anyone here familiar with the I-valve and where to find fittings for it? JW |
