Alright, I pulled the trigger on a regulator, and it is on its way!!! Now I just need some help locating the burkert 6011 solenoid and the hoke 1300 series metering valve, I did some searching online but couldn't really find anything, anyone know where to get these parts??

You are going to need a 1/8" tube to npt adapter 1/4" or 1/8" depending on what size is the end you are trying to connect to.

Check out this compact dual stage reg. It's a Parker veriflo medical grade. Needle valve is also small. This setup is good for people with tight space. I preset it to 40 psi output.

Here's a full stainless system. Regulator is a vcr Parker IR6000 with liquid filled Swagelok gauges, Burkert 6011 solenoid and Swagelok S series needle valve with vernier handle. This is the best system I built to date.

That's shiny. Wish I could afford it.

Alright, I ordered a swagelok needle valve, but it arrived disassembled. Does anyone know how to assemble this properly, I can't seem to figure it out. Here's a pic.

yeah, that's what I was afraid of.... Guess I'm going to try and return this and see if I can get one that will work for me. Thanks.
