These and then I need nuts for each side of the meter? Then any 1/8" od tube fitting with ferrules to connect to the port connector...is that correct ? Do I need front and rear ferrules or just front ??
Anyone??? Beuller ?? Beuller ??......Beuller....

Ok. I'll try one more time. Is this the way it goes together ?
I believe that is correct.

Is teflon tape required at these port connector connections? Everything I read from swagelok doesn't show any teflon tape. It also has you hand tighten then do 1 1-4 turns after hand tighten for correct connection. I feel teflon tape might alter this where it won't get the proper tightness.
Also is this the way the other end connects? I had to remove the nut to take the pic, but I assume this is how the front and rear ferrules go on the tube ? @alanle
Yes that is correct.

Ok. I know not on the tube connectors themselves. But do I use teflon tape on the needle valve threads ??

Hi everyone... And Alanle
i just got a new CO2 Tank. filled it up with CO2 and attached everything back on.
Now i cant get any bubble count.. Can the needle valve be defective .. i see air bubbles going into my 2nd small calcium chamber...
