Re: Needle Valves
if your looking for needle valves with barbs on both ends,check out pet solutions.com . i purchased one for $25.oo, a little pricey but is just what i needed. my tank is a considerable distance from co2 supply.

Re: Needle Valves
I was told one of these http://www.welduk.com/Details.asp?ProductID=282 would be better than needle valve, the guy who sells these says needle valves can dump c02 in when the pressure in the bottle goes down, not sure i its true, but this works well for me anyway

Re: Needle Valves
Most of the vlaves I've used over the years have been Clippard's minimatics.
www.clippard.com
Shippping is 10-15$ but it cost the same to ship 1 as it does 20.
So I got 20.
Nu Pro are very good, they run about 38$ US.
The Clippard's are good enough for our purposes and run 11$ ea, hard to beat.
The NuPro are very nice and worh the extra $ for folks also. I've had no trouble with the clippard's though.
If you only have one or two tanks, have the $, go for the nicer ones.
Nu pro = Swaglock(something spelled like this, I got mine a long time ago)
Clippard will ship to the UK I believe or they have a vendor locally.
I would not use that large thing in the photo link.

Tom Barr

Re: Needle Valves
Dave Gomberg's Fabco's are very nice and for the small extra cost, are worth it.
6 for 100$= 16.66 ea vs 11.10 for the clippards.
Shiping is less with Dave but I pay nothing since he's local.
Next step up goes to the Nupro which are 38-39$ before shipping.
Get a few barbed-barbed ends on some to use right at each tank after you steo down, this makes dosing easier.
