I picked up a couple of these for my two tanks recently. I noted in the
paperwork that these valves are designed not to close completely, so I
added a couple shutoff valves as well strictly for ON/OFF control.
I discovered, to my dismay, that the fully closed position on the Nupro
valves yield to many bubble per second to count at 10 psi, and I have had
to resort to playing (tediously) with the (rather course) shutoff valves to
get it down to a couple bubbles per second.
I see these valves recommended quite frequently. Has nobody else
encountered this problem?
Frank.
