Needle Valve regulator for CO2

[patrick123]

What is the most reliable and most consistent needle valve regulator in the market and how much? Where to buy. Thanks.

[lightningstrike]

best irregardless of price....... will be lab grade.... joking.

btw, maybe u wanna try dernerlle

[reef2]

yes, dernerlle

solenoid and regulator are very reliable and accurate.

[patrick123]

Any one carry them? How much is the needle valve regulator?

What about brand like bioplast compare to dernerlle?

[lightningstrike]

bioplast is quite reliable, but dernerlle is reknown........ branded.

Get it from Singapore Valves & Fitting Pte Ltd. You wont regret. I got one but I can't remember the model number, bought it for 80+. You can check weileong or roidan.

[patrick123]

Thanks bros for the info.

[surfedelic]

Got you the model B-SS4-A valve. There is 2 type - you can get the angle ones or the straight ones -- they are the same but get the brass version otherwise it will rust pretty bad.

$80+ ? single gauge? dunno the price of dernerlle regulator kits over here, but i got meself a milwaukee MA957 dual regulator kit wif solenoid valve from the states.

wow...this must be expensive "milwaukee MA957 dual regulator kit wif solenoid valve". Care to share how much you paid?

a fren bought it for me from the states, i paid abt $150 i think........

[weisoon]

Buy in Hong Kong AquaMedic very cheap. Regulator with magnetic (electric) sloenoid only $150. Without magnetic solenoid only regulator less than $100.

[patrick123]

Does the milwaukee MA957 solenoid runs hot?

[lightningstrike]

as far as i m concerned, no.

Roidan uses Swagelok Nupro precision needle valve B-SS4-A valve. I have used the same valve over the last 4 years with no degradation. I can control CO2 bubbles at 15 psi on a rate of as low as 5 bubbles per minute.

None of those aquarium marked valves can beat it as this line of valve is for industrial use where accuracy and consistency is required. $80 is well worth it!

If a CO2 tank already got a solenoid valve, does it still need a needle valve?

Thanks.

Dupla CO2 valve and solenoid is very durable and reliable as well

been using it for 3+yr and no difference from 1st day.

a good investment in my opinion

downside, not gauge though, have to get them seperately. But is there a need for a gauge???

[weileong]

No guage means when your CO2 cylinder is going to be empty you won't know.

Also when the residual pressure gets too low in the cylinder your regulator will not be able to regulate the pressure and will dump all the CO2 into your CR. End up your CR circulation pump will stop working Therefore a pressure guage is necessary.
