Check valve

[deucebiggss]

I need a check valve from the reactor inline to the co2 regulator. Any thoughts as to what check valve I should purchase?

Thanks

Anything in brass or glass will probably function well. Avoid plastic; it'll only cause you problems.

That was the one I was looking at.

In glass = plastic. Only the container is glass, the valve is plastic
And yes, brass or stainless steel valves are the best. Plastic will soon or later leak

Oh you can get glass:
ADA Cabochon Ruby glass check valve

At $50 each, it's the sort of thing you need to have a bit of a hardware fetish for... and the desire to pay extra for kanji and haikus

Incredible, thank you for the info, didn't think of a valve made of glass
