I have been doing loads of research on regulator builds here and in other forums and since I went with a single stage regulator I decided to build one similar to GLA's Ultimate regulator. Ok so reading around most say single stage regs have a chance for end of tank dump. GLA claims due to using a fabco NV-55 it eliminates the chance of dump. Is that a load of crud or would using that needle valve really help my build not have any dumps.


Fabco NV-55 needle valve

• Super Precise needle valve
• No end-of-tank dumps
• 12 turns from shut off to full open
• 40 threads per inch for precision metering

ok so no matter what I'll be on the look out for when my tank gets low..At what level do you think it should be refilled to prevent eotd?

I was told the regulator I got was a pretty good one, some rebrand of a small victor (forgot which model Bettatail told me it was).The seller claims it to be unused in original bag so hoping that helps a bit but you know how it is when you first get something and want to be very careful.

Sweet, in a lowish light 20 gallon it should take a while to get that low hopefully.
