Thanks LQT. I'll find one that goes up to 60 or so instead. Much appreciated.

The first link concerns me as with no gas connected the low pressure gauge should be at zero. The second one I’d definitely consider as that’s a good price for a stainless steel Mathewson. Note however that the seller does not offer returns, so Caveat Emptor.

Can't figure out how to get my pictures attached! But, i have my new regulator put together, and everything WAS working great - until I added the solenoid. I initially used a 1/8" union while I waited for the solenoid to arrive, and manually turned the CO2 on and off. I received my Clippard Mouse Solenoid today, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. It's the ET-2M-12 solenoid with the 15490-5 manifold and ET-C48 cable.
I connected the solenoid post-regulator, pre-needle valve. Again, everything was working as anticipated with the union in place of the solenoid. It seems the solenoid is essentially acting as a union instead of a valve. Does not restrict or stop air flow at all whether powered or unplugged. I can't figure out whether I may have done something wrong, or possible a defective valve. I do have it installed in the correct orientation (input/output) according to the clippard diagram. Anyone have thoughts? |

While I’m not familiar with your Clippers solenoid used, when you power up the solenoid or cut off power to it, do you hear an audible click? You should be able to hear the valve actuating when power is applied or cut oss, at least that the case for my Burkert 6011 solenoid.

It sounds like it's working now, but those clippards are nice, and they definitely don't sound like the Burkert. The clippards are what are in the CarbonDoser, as they're fast-switching, and they sound extremely quiet, where as the burkert sound like a relay closing. I picked up the non-manifold EV-2-12 https://www.clippard.com/part/EV-2-12 to fix the carbon doser I bought, and it works like a charm, though I have yet to test it hooked up to gas.
I really need to just build my new reg now that the Trident is up and running and I can monitor alkalinity easily. More in-line with the intent of this thread: Has anyone used Great White compound instead of teflon tape for their regulators? It seems superior in a lot of ways, and should hold up for the use, but I just don't see it mentioned much, and was wondering if there were a reason why. |

I’ve read that using Teflon paste will lead to a big mess as it is not meant for use in high pressure gas situations, which is why Teflon tape is more appropriate for our purposes.

eBay... type in 6011 Burkert Solenoid in the search. The listing for $79 is the one I would buy. It’s stainless, brand new and comes pre wired.

I am new to all this and just stumbled upon this thread today. Would this be a good regulator if I removed the 0-200 gauge with a 0-60 gauge instead?
