Ideal needle Valve with 1/8" FPT and vernier metering handle

Matt's right. That is the single stage model. Don't get it.

Concoa two stage models are 212, 312, 412 series.

Sorry about that. I just looked at the CGA fitting.

You didn't mention the part number that you ordered.

Rex has the 52-1-12 models w/o the micrometer handle. His price is w/o shipping.

Like the folks are guessing, you got the V52-1-12 w/ micrometer handle for $91 shipped.

Hi,

Did not buy it yet.

Thanks Left C. I did not get it but, I was close.

Don't buy that concoa...it looks to either be incomplete or to be a single stage.

Thanks Matt. How do you guys like the Victor ? This is a two stage right ?

I like it so much I got a new vts253b-320, which is similar.

You can tell that it is a two stage regulator because it has a big hump on its backside. Single stage regulators are flat on their backsides like that Concoa 402 that you posted.




two stage

more two stage






single stage

As per the norm I'm 6 months late but now that you have used the Ideal NV with the Vernier/micrometer how do you like it, I'm getting ready to buy one and wasn't sure if I really need the added expense of the vernier option, the needle valve itself has 22 to 24 turns from open to close so I'm guessing it's already very tunable, now if you add the vernier option you should be able to fine tune the bubbles speed to extreme accuracy. I can see how this would come in handy on a small tank where you can sit and watch the bubble grow over the next 15 or 20 seconds but there would be no use for it on larger tanks with more than a bubble per second speed? BTW that was a question so please straighten me out on this valve.
