Default Re: In-Dash CO2 Refilling Connectors

Open the supply CO2 and bleed off the trapped air until you get the CO2 liquid. Tighten the hose connector and open the CO2 bottle on the car and let it fill up. Close the bottles and remove the line. Reinstall the cap on the dash connector and you're ready to go. Much better than disconnecting all the other stuff.
Hope this helps.

I understand the process. What I'm looking for is the components. What bulkhead fitting? The ones I've seen have no cap on the bulkhead fitting (that's why I assume there's some kind of check valve). I assume the back of the bulkhead fitting then connects to typical flex CO2 lines, and that goes to the tee fitting. Those are the questions...
