Opinion on Regulator build

PamAndJim · 06-24-2012, 03:42 PM

I have a dual stage regulator that is currently on it's way to me. It will be replacing the MA957 that I am currently using. Originally my plan was to build a whole new post body for the new regulator with all new stuff. But, now that I am thinking about it, why not just take the parts I need from my MA957. I will be buying a new needle valve (Fabco NV-55-18) So I really would just be reusing the solenoid, bubble counter, and maybe some fittings. I know the Burkhert solenoid (which is what would've bought) is better than what I have. But, the one I have is functioning fine, so why not use it. I can always replace it if it fails. What do you all think?

Also, does anyone know if the BC that comes with the Milwaukee has a built in check valve like the JBJ does? If not, I will buy a JBJ for this build. So, it looks like I will just be keeping the solenoid from the MA957. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
