    hi guys. i intended to split up my co2 tank with manual regulator to 2 bubble counter so that i can have 2 tank with co2.
    was wondering if i need to bring my co2 tank to NA for them to fix? if so, its almost impossible as i don't have any cars.. those shops like C328 do they sell co2 splitter? if they do, when we take back, how do we fix them on the co2 tank?

    thanks

    C328 do sell splitter, it is quite easy to fix it to the solenoid regulator but never try fixing it into manual regulator

    For solenoid regulator, just take out the current needle valve and connect the splitter. Use those white color selant tape and use bubble soap to check for leakage.

    Hi EvolutionZ,

    A step by step guide on how to fix splitter onto solenoid regulator is in the stickies in this section of the forum.

    But like Shadow, I have no experience fixing it to a manual regulator, I am guessing it can't be that different.

    If you do get your splitter, and have some time, care to take some pictures and do a short write up so that we can put it up as another sticky

    Oh yar, NA, Colorful have co2 splitter for sale as well.

    Cheers!

    To add,i've been recommended plastic splitters by Ben over at Wuhu awhile ago while sourcing for a splitter.As opposed to the full metal splitters available at C328(roughly 3red notes $30) and many other LFS,the costs of the plastic ones are considerably cheaper(less then 1red note $10)! It basically resembles the typical splitters one would usually use to split air with our air pumps.I remember one of the earlier threads regarding this matter,i double clarified the problem of Co2 loss possibilities etc with Ben but all he did was laugh and say its just a simple device to split and regulate Co2 gas?His assurance(not to mention personal garantee) made me think again as i'm currently looking for a 3way splitter. Any thoughts regarding this matter?

    would like to ask again. the bro who is selling me the ADA replica co2 splitter said that i need a controller to control the amount of bps for each splitter. if i don't have the controller, both splitter will have the same amount of BPS coming out..
    i always thought that a co2 splitter can have both co2 outlet controlled?

    What I am using is the brass splitter. You can see a picture of it in this post it's the 3rd picture. The controller are the 2 knobs you see at the top part of the "Y".

    ADA replica splitter? How does it look like? Perhaps you can visit the ADA site and post the link here later?

    Cheers
