Arrow Co2 Refill (30lb -> 5lb)

Hello all.

My brother moved to Argentina and gave me his kegerator setup. I already have a BeverageAir, but one thing he gave me is a 30lb CO2 tank.

I would like to be able to refill the 5lb tank that came with my BeverageAir with this 30lb tank to avoid the re-fill hastle.

I know i need a special attachment to be able to attach the 30lb tank to the 5lb tank do this re-fill myself. Can someone please reccommend an on-line source to buy such a coupling/attachment? I dont even know what this attachment is called.

Thanks in advance.

I can't help with the fittings, but what about selling it back to the place where you get it filled and pick up a spare 5lb'er while your at it?

don't know what it's called, but check some on-line paintball suppliers. I know I've seen what you're talking about before on a paintball site. probably just google paintball and co2.

I found this site.... I guess it's up to you as to whether it's worth the effort.
