Yes, that's the exact same regulator I used for my build.

I'm not sure... from the picture, I can't tell if it's a single or dual stage regulator. If the back of the regulator is flat, then it won't work because it's a single stage regulator.

Thank you LQT
It is dual stage regulator and the model is HTP270D- 580. What is the second nob from the left?

 

[LQT]

If that’s the case, then go for it!

The smaller knob on the left will be useful when you do the initial leak test in post #12. You turn the know cut off gas flow through the regulator. However, that whole assembly is usually removed when you build the post body ( connectors, elbows, solenoid, metering valve, etc).

i'm having a hard time locating a slow metering valve on ebay for my build. anyone else having much luck? years ago i was able to find a bunch of hoke 1300 series for under $40, now it's over $100?

I had the same problem. Make offers on ones you can make offers on. I got my swagelok for 50 shipped. They were asking 120.

Leon,

Reading your posts I bought the Victor STG160B reg and Hoke 1335G3Y metering value.
Where did you get the CGA 320 (ss) and the fittings from solenoid to Hoke metering value?

Awesome regulator! However, the Hoke 1335G3Y may be a problem as that is a 3mm metric fitting. I do not know if they have English to Metric conversion pipe fittings.

Thanks Leon. You're right I couldn't find the English to metric conversion. Will this Anodized 6061 aluminum CGA 320 work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/372591605525?ul_noapp=true

 

[LQT]

Yeah, that fitting should work. If you’re interested in buying a full stainless steel cga320 fitting, Shoot me a PM, I have a spare available for sale that I’m not using.

I can't tell by the picture... do you know the model number or is there a model number etched into the stem?

 

[LQT]

Wait, I think it says SS-SS4-VH... if so, you’re good!
