Title: Where to buy needle valve for CO2 regulator?
Post by: touchofsky on September 17, 2020, 08:16:19 PM
I need to buy a new needle valve for my CO2 regulator, and I am having trouble locating a retailer.   Any ideas?  I would certainly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I bought a NIB Hoke needle valve from ebay and a new one directly from Hoke.  If you are not looking for anything high end, you could try Amazon.

J&L Aquatics has this one.

Swagelok has a store front in the city but I think their products are pricey.  Hoke has an office in Montreal.

Thank you very much for your response.  I appreciate the information, and will keep it in case I need it in the future.

I actually got my existing needle valve back in action.  The problem was the threads on one of the connections and I took it to a local machinist this afternoon and he was able to fix the threads.
