CYLINDER FILLING
CO2 CYLINDER FILLING
The aluminum CO2 cylinder supplied with the MP15 can be refilled at
many different facilities,
and can be supplemented with steel, pre-filled standard 5 lb. CO2 cyl-
inders which are also widely available. The original cylinder provided
with the MP15 is aluminum for lighter weight, but the heavier, more
common steel cylinders have the same dimensions and will function
identically in the MP15.
Facilities which can typically refill the CO2 cylinder for the MP15 inc-
lude the following: fire extinguisher service businesses, beverage sys-
tem supply firms, welding supply shops, and industrial gas supply out-
lets. It is recommended that a phone call be made first to verify avail-
ability and whether that facility can refill your own cylinder while you
wait. Some firms can only exchange pre-filled cylinders for empty
ones, which will commonly mean that you will receive a heavier, steel
cylinder in place of the original aluminum. Fire extinguisher service
and beverage system supply shops are often better prepared to fill cyl-
inders on demand. When the aluminum cylinder cannot be refilled, it
is recommended that a standard steel cylinder or cylinders be rented
from the facility then returned for credit after use.
Use care during
transport of all cylinders to avoid damage to the valve or fittings.
Follow all safety instructions noted on the cylinder
.
