CO2 high pressure question

[The Nymans]

Are solenoids and solenoid valves the same thing?

Thanks,

No, Solenoid is the coil that activates the valve electrically, solenoid
valve is the whole assembly

But if someone is selling a CO2 setup with "a solenoid", it's probably
a solenoid valve.....

So, while technically they are different, they are probably referring
to the exact same thing.

Thanks guys...
I am looking at the regulator, etc Custom Aquatics is offering (made by
Milwaukee).

This is the product description:
"CO2 Regulator with needle valve, solenoid valve, and bubble counter. Dual
gage regulator displays output pressure and bottle pressure. Standard
American CO2 bottle connection."

It is $20 cheaper than another site I found the exact same set-up.

Is that what I'm looking for to attatch to a tank to be off and running?

Thanks,
John
