I'll take a picture tonight, I have the hex manifold bought directly from clippard (I have a part #) fits their classic needle values perfectly, was ten bucks or something like that, works great... I believe its the one Robert H was trying to rob people blind with, $50 or something he was charging... Only thing with clippard is a box charge, just get a few group members together for a group order...

I'll take the for $59 and walk back and forth man![/QUOTE]

Hey, you spend how much on substrate? I'll take a good valve at the tank over that monstrosity any day of the week and still come out ahead of you. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

True I spend on substrate - that's not going to
change since I do mostly stem plants and I change
things every few weeks. But $50 per tank for
distributing CO2 when there's an alternative
available for 1/6th the cost? Don't think
it's viable for me. Sure I'll have to
walk back and forth from the manifold to the
tank - but once it's set - I won't have to mess
with it. It's not like I have to tweak it daily!

BTW - my soil substrate tank is coming along nicely!
I'm impressed!

Let me know how many feet of tubing you use.

Would you keep it down about the soil substrate already!

Tubing is cheap - plus I already have an entire roll
of it. The way I'm doing this, the CO2 is only going
to two reactors - but I'm going to go for a hex
manifold or something so I can scale if I need to.

That's a hex manifold? That's what I was talking about. Gang valve... hex manifold. Whatever. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">

One of those multiple air line thingys.

Must be that southern drawl again <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> Anyhow, here's the pic:

Part # is MRM-6, it fits a 10-32 gas connection, you may need a 10-32 to 1/4" connector. Best part is that it swivels. The needle valve is the MNV-4K2, best cheap valves around, they fit right into the manifold. The screws in the there are sold separately methinks, it's basically a set screw with an O-ring, be sure to get these...

You wouldn't happen to have part numbers for the set screw with o-ring would you?

Anyone else interested in this?

I found it... I have their whole catalog, neat stuff altho most is overkill for us.. its the 11755, I bought the package, I remember having a surplus... its like 1.60 for 20 of these things or something, MRM-6 is 6.90, the MNV-4K2 is 9.90, a 15006-1 [1/8" NPT to 10-32 Female bushing] is $0.35. Grand total of 66.65 for six needle valves add all the adaptors....

Recap:
www.clippard.com
11755-PKG Plugs for hex manifold
MRM-6 Hex manifold
MNV-4K2 Needle valve
15006-1 1/8" NPT to 10-32 Female bushing

That should do it if I remember correctly... I could make a few bucks selling this stuff for the prices the online shops do... Absolutely happy with everything. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">
