I came across a big container of co2 regulators from a beverage setup at Golds Metal on Lamar. Some of them are banged up but there are plenty of good ones. The tank connection side is for a high pressure hose. (which there are plenty of) The regs are set up as dual primaries. I brought home 6 of them and they all work perfect. They are left hand thread on the primary side. Taprite brand, there are also some odd fixed corenelius regs, wall mount plates, a bunch of stainless 3/8 ball valves. Bring a wrench and screwdriver or 2 and be prepared to pay $4 lb for the brass. I plan on going back this morning to get a couple more fittings and gages but there is literally a pallet cube full of them. It's located near the aluminum gas cylinders, a few people do speak english out there in the yard and most who do are very friendly. I'd buy more of it and resell but I don't have the time.
Just to be aware: walking around a scrap yard is dangerous and dirty, wear good boots and gloves, this place is busy so keep your eyes open and watch where you step. They take cash only.
There are also a lot of stainless 6 port manifolds used for water distribution, with ball valves and although the ball valves are 3/8" thread, the barb on the out end is bigger like 1/2" and the throughput looks much better than what I typically see for 3/8, they are these Mccanns Water Management Manifold - 6 out
