...is the knob on the right a needle valve? I wonder how accurate it is.

It looks like some type of flow adjuster.

Would it probably need to be replaced with a needle/metering valve like we use? I really don't know, but I would think so. The seller may answer this question better.

Please notice that I just added one of the medical grade regulators to the above post.

I love it!
I have it set up with a DIY 3-way manifold using some cheap needle valves.
When I first noticed the initial high side pressure drop from 900 to 600 psi, I kept a close eye on the low side-(Initial setting of 5psi). 3 days later 400 psi and the low side didn't budge. It wasn't until the tank was near empty (200 psi), that I had to adjust the low side to get every bit of C02 possible. This Regulator is not only very precise, but it got me another week of C02 and NO END OF TANK DUMP.

Well I guess I'm jumping in to pressurized, just won one of these regulators on Ebay, the seller Left C posted.

Just looking for a solenoid now(thinking about a clippard), 10# tank and some other stuff. Any heads up on a place for a solenoid?

I ended up getting the 3-way JBJ splitter with the cheap needle valves for now.

What any specific fittings that I will need that I cant find locally? I assume they are 1/4" NPT threads on the regulator?

I just bought a Victor reg from the ebay store link. Thanks left C. That seller has the weirdest assortment of stuff for sale I've ever seen.

I'm glad that you folks are enjoying your Victor regulators.

mrmotorcycles (Victor) sent me a Matheson model number 8-320 dual stage CO2 regulator to try. It is not as nice and shiny as the Victor regulators, but is a very nice regulator too.

MRMOTORCYCLES@VERIZON.NET is his normal email address. You should use this email address for the Matheson regulators and not his eBay address because he is not selling them on eBay at the moment.

Im waiting on Victor to get back to me about a regulator for my nano.

This is a Victor Medalist regulator. It is a very good single stage regulator. Tom Barr mentioned to SuMo that they should try it out. The Medalist line has been discontinued with a newer model that Green Leaf plans to sell now.

The Matheson model that I mentioned above is a bit heavier than the Victor models mentioned above.

PetSolutions.com used to carry a small Amano style CO2 regulator, but I didn't see it listed anymore. http://www.petsolutions.com/CO2-Equipment+C13.aspx

I believe that it is the one used in this thread: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/di...regulator.html

Here's one, but it is $$: http://www.adgshop.com/EL_Valve_p/101-411.htm
