stainless: ss-2c2-1/3
brass: b-2c2-1/3

the brass are in stock and in the $20-30 range. The stainless are special order and run in the $60-70 range. The stainless takes about a month fro mthe time of order to be made.

excellent quality. I have pics if you want. I have two stainless check valves (one on my SGT 500 and one on my VTS253A-1993).

Swagelok SS-2C2-1/3:
Here is the big ticket item I had to order from Swagelok. It took 3 weeks to get here from the factory. It looks different from the Nupro version I have on my vts253a-1993.

WoW! Thanks !! nice can you give me the order number of the Stainless Steel and the Brass Check Valve's,
Is the Nupro version SS-2C2-1/3: just as good as the Swagelok made one, An the Brass are they just as good . I was looking for one to go frome the bubble counter to the Needle Valve
I think I would need some thing like M/F on each end, Just place my order for a SS 1/8npt x 1.5 Hex Nipple and the SS 1/8npt Elbow {will be using the hex nipple the elbow is to be save for later}.
Want to replace my old brass that I have but if the Brass Check Valve are good might just go Brass instead. I replace my Clippard Solenoid Valve an didn't want to rely on the check valve that's in side the JBJ Bubble Counter.

I was just checking the web site and found this : http://www.swagelok.com/search/find...5-1&item=c80b8fbe-343c-49a5-8ef1-2a086c6523b7
That is what I'm looking for to go from Needle Valve to the Bubble Counter "But" I could only find them in 1/4 and 1/2 MNPT/FNPT
When ordering a check valve do you look for the lowest psig and {0.007 bar} number for our use??

Look at post # 2 for part numbers.
The brass is just as good as the stainless, just different case material
I got the nupro from a surplus link Left C sent me. It is rare to find them on ebay. Nupro and swagelok are the same part made by swagelok.
I ordered my swagelok from swagelok.

Thermal expansion is a itsy bitsy bit smaller for SS vs Brass, entirely non significant for us and CO2.

Thanks,

1/3 psig (0.03 bar) is this the type we need to look at {the psig at 1/3 and the .03 bar}
The thing is that if you look closer to my setup ,My needle valve has a 1/8 MNPT and the Bubble Counter has a 1/8 FNPT

Can any chime on this? I think this could be what I need?
http://www.clippard.com/catalog/Page 141.pdf

MJCV-1AB
MJCV-1AB-MR
Air flow 20scfm @ 50 psig,36 scfm @ 100 psig ; 580 1/min @ 6 bar

It looks like the air flow is from Female to Male / Like my needle valve to my bubble counter
What do you think would this work! It has 1/8 npt ports ?

I tried one of the clippards on my vts253b-320 and it was horrible. for my particular part number, see the thread (I think I have a pic of it). Looks like the cracking pressure is around 7-8 psi for these. Yoiu have to account for line pressure especially if youa re runnning a ceramic diffuser.

Is this what we need to get for our use:
Fixed Pressure, 1/8 port, MNPT, 1/3 psig (0.03 bar)

Hi Marcos
Our MJCV line has a cracking pressure of around 1/2 psi. The MJCV-1AB
does flow from female to male.
Thanks

just get a female coupler...problem solved.

Do you have a part Number for this?
Because I might have to follow your setup with that check valve you have showen me.

I just found it , is this what you were applying to?

http://www.swagelok.com/search/find...HCG&item=23518822-f2cb-4bed-85b9-5bc1b6f4cb57

For the price for the Brass B-2C2-1/3 Check Valve , I might also use the Brass Female Coupler for $3.60

http://www.swagelok.com/search/find...HCG&item=23518822-f2cb-4bed-85b9-5bc1b6f4cb57

And for the price for the check valve B-2C2-1/3 $20.70

http://www.swagelok.com/search/find_products_home.aspx?part=B-2C2-1/3&item=

I guess this would be the best way to go
Thanks Matt

Hi!

Yes, I would use the Swagelok brass coupler w/ the b-2c2-1/3. With that combo you can rest assured that it will protect your rig and not make strange noises.

The clippard part number I used and had problem with was the: MJCV-1AA

reg8-23007.jpg


I think this has a cracking pressure of 1 psig (14.7 psi). This doesn't work well with the ceramic diffusers. The Clippard parts you listed have a lower cracking pressure, so they may work fine.

I know the Swagelok 1/3 psig cracking pressure will work with ceramic diffusers w/o issue.

I rest assured that the regulators and solenoid are well protected with the swagelok unit.

Will today was AAGGGGG hell !@#$%
Will today I got my shipment from UPS, I got my Swagelok nipple and elbow and another order for a cylinder wall mount bracket for x2 10lb co2 tanks. The web site at:
http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/s...binets/cylinder/wall-mount-cylinder-bracket-3
It says the length was 15inch when I open the box an measured it at 21inch :mad:
So now I called the rep and she look at it on the web and it said 15inch , So now she has to contact the warehouse to see if they made an error? :p So I told here if they didn't have the 15in that I will take the single mount. So now I got to ship it back. Now that I'm on the lap top on front of my 110g tank and I turn to one side and what do I feel :confused: :mad: Water !! I sprung a leak!! It was a drip from my Mazzie ! I had plans on changing my line system anyway but not until a couple of months from now because I was having issue with the system keeping my water temp at 88F-90F due to the bottle neck i have . So I took every thing apart and bought hose's, clamps and all the part's . It going to take me a couple of days , So I crank up my old {like new look} Aqua Supreme King!!!!:gw Dam it still works!! :cool:
This is going to take a couple because I just had surgery on my foot and cant put weight on it for 4 month's So now I'm doing all this with a cast on my leg but I got help from my 10yr son!! :gw
and my wife help me take the canopy off!
