I bought a needle valve from a company on eBay, along with a y splitter. It looks like pretty decent equipment, but I can't get the valve to shut off. I split the line from the FE I use for the Mini M, and set the valve up on my Do!aqua with a glass/ceramic diffuser.
I completely shut the valve off as far as it would screw in, and opened up the regulator. I had 2bps originally through the Mini M, but when I split it I had nothing going through that, and a solid stream of gas into the Do!aqua. That's despite the new needle valve on the Do!aqua being closed.
It says it handles max 10 bar, but my reg doesn't show bar. It's saying 900psi in the bottle and 30psi on the other dial. Is that just too much for it or is it a crap valve?
