    I was told one of these http://www.welduk.com/Details.asp?ProductID=282 would be better than needle valve, the guy who sells these says needle valves can dump c02 in when the pressure in the bottle goes down, not sure i its true, but this works well for me anyway

    Most of the vlaves I've used over the years have been Clippard's minimatics.

    www.clippard.com

    Shippping is 10-15$ but it cost the same to ship 1 as it does 20.
    So I got 20.

    Nu Pro are very good, they run about 38$ US.
    The Clippard's are good enough for our purposes and run 11$ ea, hard to beat.

    The NuPro are very nice and worh the extra $ for folks also. I've had no trouble with the clippard's though.

    If you only have one or two tanks, have the $, go for the nicer ones.

    Nu pro = Swaglock(something spelled like this, I got mine a long time ago)

    Clippard will ship to the UK I believe or they have a vendor locally.

    I would not use that large thing in the photo link.

    Regards,
    Tom Barr

    It's good to learn through experience, as long as it's not your own.
