    Tried using:

    1) plastic 3 way connectors
    only one of the bubble counter is bubbling. pressure problem?

    2) brass 3 way connectors (with tap)
    Leaks badly.


    Appreciate any help at all....
    Regards.

    I think u r better off using one of those plastic T splitters rather than those that comes with the taps.. then after connecting with tubing.. u shld use the white tap to seal the surround

    Also, the length of the Tubing for the CO2 makes a difference in pressures

    1. the gas goes where it is easier to exit
    in other words you can't split it this way

    2. they're not really airtight at higher pressures

    some pneumatic hardware shops might sell the splitter which comes with individual needle valves
    teck siong huat at kelantan lane ave 2 might have what you're looking for
