clippard needle valve
Just got a clippard MNV-4k needle valve for a co2 setup and it came w/o
any operating/assembly instructions. Trying to attach to tap-rite regulator. Clippard website is no help. Any clue where little o ring goes? Does hose nipple attach to 1/8" outlet at right angle to to valve knob? Any help for co2 rookie greatly appreciated. |

Hopefully it has a 1/8" NPT male threads on the bottom (brass threads). To
connect directly to the regulator you need an adaptor that is 1/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) - Female and 1/4" NPT Male. You will need to wrap pipe thread tape for gas usage on both sets of threads. At right anglel hopefully is what is called a "hose barb" to which you slip on your plastic air tubing. What I said above is what I had to do for the clippard valve I got from Florida Driftwood. Bob P.S. If you take it to a fire extinguisher repair place, who will fill your own tank with CO2, and talk nice, you might get the man to provide the adapter, tape everything and put it together for you. That's what I did. N/C for the adaptor and the technical assistance!! "willis stanley" wrote in message ...
