There are a few different styles of barrels on the market today, some better than others. Here we show you some of those available.

The cap fits most barrels with a 2" neck to enable the injection of gas using a SodaStream style CO2 Cylinder.
Supplied ready to use with fitted o-ring.
This valve isn`t fitted with a pin so isn`t suitable for using small 8g bulbs, only larger re-fillable cylinders.
The valve has a 2 way function, allowing the addition of gas and the release of excess pressure.
