SRC Member surfedelic Posted June 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 30, 2004 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.

robe Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 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!

SRC Member Kenji80 Posted July 4, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2004 If a CO2 tank already got a solenoid valve, does it still need a needle valve? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ZeRoC00l Posted July 4, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2004 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 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.
