Pico Carbonator - 7/8" x 8" Stone TC 1.5"

A small carbonation stone made of 316L sintered stainless steel.  The pores are 2.0 microns.  The tank connection is 1.5” TC.  The gas connection end is ¼” Female NPT threads. 

When carbonating a tank place the carbonation stone as low as possible in the tank to get the best results.  Small carb stones will take longer to carbonate a tank than a longer carbonation stone will, but it will still get the job done.  The carb stones are also used to aerate wort in order to achieve a healthy fermentation.  For aeration of wort the carb stone is generally placed in line right after exiting the heat exchanger on the way to the fermenter.  When carbonating a tank, this small sized carb stone is recommended for small tanks of 5 barrels or less. 

Use care when handling and cleaning sintered stainless steel carbonation stones so you don’t plug up the pores.  Never use a brush to clean a carb stone.  Best practice is to immerse in an ultrasonic bath for cleaning.
