JBJ Regulator Killing Me

This is the reducing fitting that would go between the regulator body and the solenoid. Found it at Swagelok.com.
I couldn't pull a price from their website, but they have a local distributor in Glen Burnie.

I am going to place an order this week, no later than this Friday, for a regulator with the beveragefactory.com, for a Classic Series Double Gauge Co2 Regulator. The one in the link. I am just frustrated right now, with my leaking JBJ system. So I am going to build one myself with a better quality parts.

I expect the delivery will be some time next week. If anyone is interested in ordering with me that's fine. As far as delivery, I live in Catonsville and work in Columbia, so for Chris T and Kris W, I have no problem delivering to you both. If you live in VA or Mt Airy, or southern Md you may need to pick up or wait until the next meeting. I don't think there are any other options. Sorry.

FYI, I will be looking to order a FABCO needle valve soon, probably from Oregon Aquatics or Rex, I'm not sure who else carries them. Whoever has the best price. Ideal and Swagelok valves, though both excellent, are a little bit much for me.

I may need to order some brass fittings from H.B. Cochrane and company, local Clippard Distributor out of Red Lion PA.

Joe,

For what it's worth--a while back Aaron recommended I get the premium double regulator...

Joe, Thanks for arranging this.

I would like to order one (1) of these:

I originally thought I would get two, but I've changed my mind.

Let me know when you go to order the Fabco valves, I'd like to get a couple of the NV-55s.

Thanks Joe! I would also like (1) of the Premium Double Gauge regulators that Chris linked to:

If you do order from Clippard, let me know, as I need another solenoid to go with this.

Let me know the totals after shipping, and I can either paypal you upfront + fees, or whatever you prefer. Thanks!

Kris, Clippard sells solenoids? Do you have a link to the one you plan on getting? I'll probably get whatever you get, since you know more about this than I do.

Where can I get low-pressure cutoff valves (to avoid end-of-tank dumps)? And may I assume I would connect that after the solenoid but before the manifold?

Chris, I have a clippard one at home now. I'll look up the model number, and post here before ordering... I've never used the low-pressure cutoffs. I presume you're correct though. I might be interested in trying these too, as I've lost far too many fish over the years to EOT dumps!

It is to complicated for me to pick-up , I will pay for the shipping and order separately.

I may come back for help getting adapters.

Sorry Eugen, I wish I would have posted about my regulator problems on Saturday. Then it may have been possible to get delivery before the meeting.

That Micro Matic looks sweet. I may switch up myself.

I will look for more sources of Fabco valves and let you know what I find.

You can order fabco right from the site.
