Hello guys and girls

Im looking for a needle valve for my 29 gal tank. I have a 20 lb cylinder and a gauge set. I will be using 1/4 plastic tubing to plumb it in.
What valve is best to use and where can I get one? (I live in So Mass. for those in my area ) Any particular brand names ? I guess I need around 20-30 bubbles per minute for that size tank. Thanks in advance.
 
you need a Clippard needle valve..but I don't have the exact model number.

You could try ordering from this site http://www.rexgrigg.com/sale.html
or email the owner for some info.

Harbor Freight will have needle valves, but you need the right size.

1/4" tubing OD or ID? if its' ID, that's way wider than you need.
 
I used to have an account with clippard. I have not used it in about a year but it may still be active. Get the part number and I could get a few.
