In a few weeks, I will be sending some CO2 canons out as part of a tour package. I'm sending the CryoFx dmx controlled models.

I've used them before for a handful of one-offs, but have never had to sustain them for any period of time.

Does anyone have any tips for the long term care and feeding of these devices? The client will be receiving an AirGas delivery at each venue, so if there are any adapters I'll need to accommodate a variety of fittings, what will I need?

How about critical spare parts and tools?
Thanks!
 
Re: Co2 canons; what do I need to know?

Compressed gas fittings are standardized based on gas type, and I'd be very suprised if Airgas didn't follow the standard. So you won't need any adapters between the cylinder and the regulator. You probably will want a stock of the sealing washers, however, just in case they don't come with the cylinder.

You also want to make sure that the crew for the tour understands the hazards involved with CO2 cannons and safe handling of compressed gas cylinders. A ruptured cylinder can ruin your day
