Metering(needle) valves for our DIY CO2 system

[bettatail]

After burkert 2822, Parker HR metering valves, and SMC solenoids, want some good news on other available parts? guys?

anyway, I prefer to show the public what are good and available at the moment, but more than likely to do it on TPT. In Barr Report, because there is always one...

Oh, the Bettatail is back at it again.

Victor regulator, ideal valves and burkert 6011

Nuff said. With a lifetime of customer support from me. They also have a warranty if something goes wrong. The customer is taken care of.

you get me wrong, I don't care what you sell,
I list those parts, because I know you are a smart guy, don't limit your choice on those parts.

and don't take it to heart too much, focus on building co2 system, more choice, more parts, and better system.

So which regulator and needle valve are good? Let me go to Ebay and buy a couple.

Can't tell if trolling or serious :/

 

[alanle]

I'm just kidding...

Seriously speaking here are my picks

Regulators
SGT500, IR6000, Matheson 3810, Concoa 432

Solenoids
Burkert, SMC VDW, Clippard EV series

Metering valves
Ideal 54-1, Swagelok S series, Parker H0-3, and the amazing Brooks Instruments 85xx

 

[Matt F.]

Buy me one while your at it. I'll pay you back.

Got these miniature ASCO/Numatics 2W/12VDC/100 PSI solenoids. They are sitting on the new Clippard 10/32 x 1/8 FNPT manifold. These are good for smaller regulators such as Matheson 3500/3700s, HPT100...





Next to the new EV Series solenoid

 

[alanle]

Something is different here.

Very nice solenoids! I have only seen Bettatail use the numatic, how do you like it compare to the DV? Does the numatic run hot at all? What manifold is that DV sitting on?

The shorter one is a 3 watts (i think). It runs a little hotter than the 2 watts. The 2 watts unit is not hot at all. Like luke warm. I can spare you 1 but you will need to get the Clippard manifold for it. The new DV valve is a cartridge solenoid. The manifold is somewhat bulky. I don't like it at all.

 

[Flyinghellfish]

I would love that! Pm sent. I'm guessing paypal right?

Here is a DV on the small manifold, the photo is from a local hobbyist. I think it's 60 dollars for the DV up here.

 

[alanle]

yeah i should have got the manifold mount. I know what to get on my next ordering batch.

Anyone willing to sell a needle/metering valve for a DIY CO2 setup? Ideal V52-1-12, Swagelok S-series low flow or similar. I figured I'd check with folks here before cruising evilbay.
