I had that occured to me in the past, still struggling with direction of which the knob turns to either close or open the valve.

FYI - I have a spare regulator and new stainless steel Swagelok parts for a DIY regulator project in the classifieds.

Not good... that's a high flow metering valve. You want a low flow, like a Swagelok ss-ss2 or ss-ss4.

I wanted to thank AlanLE for building and sending my new regulator that I'm using on my Calcium Reactor. This thing is beautiful and functioning perfectly!

Hi Alan and guys..
Im reading a lot in this thread and I really wanted a Parker Veri IR6000 series 2 Stage set up. I have a budget so I could not afford to pay for $500 for a complete set. So just wondering if anyone has a full set ready to go and not using that can sell me? Or if Alan can help me build one at the lowest cost possible with these Parker dual stages. Im tired of co2 going up and down.. |

how do I connect the co2 tubing directly to the metering valve? Do I need to use a tubing insert? Thanks.

If it’s 1/4” fittings, then just insert the CO2 line through the fitting, attach the the ring and ferrule and cinch the nut down. It’s just like if you were attaching the tube end of a port connector, instead of attaching a rigid stainless steel tube with the ferrules, do the same thing with the flexible CO2 tubing.

When the nut is tightened, the compression ring that sits above the ferrule should push down and press down onto the ferrule, thereby compressing around the CO2 tubing, cinching it down for a tight fit. It shouldn’t be loose at all.
The CO2 tubing should go through the nut -> compression ring -> ferrule -> metering valve.

I've got a question on the solenoid part if anyone could help.
I have a Pacific Sun Calcfeeder AC4 pro that comes with a 12V 4.8W solenoid (1/4" NPT but its plastic and doesn't work well with stainless steel threads). It has a 1/4" stereo headphone connection to the Calcfeeder's master unit. The regulator AlanLE built for me has burkett 6011A (1/4" NPT) that has been on continuously for three months now (and it runs very very hot). What I would like to do is have a single solenoid. I am limited here by the Calcfeeder PRO's control of the solenoid valve. SO it's going to have to be something that works with the Calcfeeder's requirements. So my questions: If I find a solenoid where the pole of the fitting fit's the electronics of the Calcfeeder PRO's solenoid - will this work regardless of Voltage / Wattage? The burkett 6011 pole doesn't fit the Calcfeeder's electronics portion of the solenoid (it's loose). The calcfeeder's solenoid has what looks like a copper or brass sleeve around the pole and the burkett does not. If I just put this on the burkett - would it work despite not being a tight fit and different voltage/wattage? Where could I find a 4.8W 12V DC stainless steel 1/4" NPT solenoid? I can wire the 1/4" stereo headphone jack myself - so that's not a big deal to me. is that only going to be ebay? any other sources?

Hi guys,
Am building out this regulator and searching for solution to thread variations on inlet to start? What are options for inlet from Cga 350 to 320 where on regulator nipple side, thread needs to be larger than fine 320 threads?
