My 7lb bottle is about 19 ins tall including the cage round the valve gear.

CO2 bottles absolutely must be upright otherwise you get liquid CO2 into the
regulator which can/will damage it.

I am considering going from yeast co2 to a 5# bottle. Can someone tell me
approximately how tall these bottles are with a regulator on them? Must
they be vertical; or can they lay on their side? I am trying to decide if
I
have room.

Thanks,

Pete
