Yeah, with the 5 year warranty, if it goes kablooey just after the 5 year mark, it cost you about 55 bucks a year.

Yup, that's what I was thinking.
I mean it's still 55 bucks, but in the grand scheme not too bad and hopefully it either goes longer or dies WITHIN warranty.

I cannot seem to find a good Burkert 6011 in stainless for less than about $100. Anyone know where to find this for a reasonable price?

Did you win it? $59, not too bad. I almost bid on it just to have a spare.

I noticed the valve in the pictures. Thanks for the heads up on the extra parts. For some reason though, I feel like I read way earlier in this thread that such valves may be removed. Then again, that could be my imagination after reading this entire thread over the last few days.

Will do. Once my regulator comes in, I'll go over this thread again and will link what I find.

here's my finished product with a slight modification. On the outlet, I had to use a ss-4-hln-2.00 because there's a knob underneath the regulator that was hitting the solenoid. In the picture, it has the ss-4-hln-1.50 and it's too short. Another thing I'd change is the CGA connection. I went with the 2" version but because this reg has large gauges, the know for the CO2 has like 1/4" clearance.

Been reading this thread and want to give building a regulator a try. Would this one work to keep the regulator setup as small as possible? https://www.ebay.com/itm/263025892584

I have been using the check valve on my GEO reactor (came with it) but I find it is really hard to fine tune my bubble rate (swagelok SS-SS4-VH) meter valve. I use the corner of the nut on the valve as my turn locator so I know how many notches I turn the knob. Seems like I slowly tick it up 1 notch a day then it all of a sudden spews bubbles or has nothing coming out (in the bubble counter) think this is a check valve issue?

Everything appeared to work fine for 9 months or so then this started happening; I think that the solenoid is working (When I power cycle it the bubbles will slowly stop as the pressure in the line lowers (which is the other reason I think that this may be a check valve issue)

For those using an integrated bubble counter / check valve on their regulators, what is the preferred brand?
