I third the choice for lunapet.
Variable working pressure.
I have one after recommendation from Alastair and I love it.
The guy at Lunapet is a fantastic bloke to deal with too.
I recently sold my spare and wish I had kept it as a backup now but it only takes 36 hours to get one over form Germany.

Dont forget to buy the solenoid too

Well you did say "Best Reg" so I found you this:
http://www.fnpile.co.uk/index.php?area= ... ct_id=1991
This is clearly not a cheap welding reg like some of those offered but it will cost you about £110 plus vat. Not bad for such a high quality piece of kit and you did say "regardless of cost" 🙄 But you"ll also need to spend a few more quid on a needle valve ...

I grabbed a dual stage reg online for £35 so just need the needle valve and solenoid. But it will be very reliable. No risk of EOTD. I'd recommend going DIY for the best 😉 take a look at a boc8500 co2 regulator. Looks pretty and with some swagelok fittings and a Burkett solenoid, you'd have the best reg you would ever need. Searching the web is the best way to get a good regulator. Once you know what to look for and how the measure the fittings anything is possible. You could buy an UP regulator for disposables and add a solenoid. Instant nano co2 for under £30.

Just looked at the above link. Wasn't thinking it would be the reg I was posting about :/ should have looked first. Doh!
Thanks for the ideas guys, I already own 5 regs, one Dupla model is over 25 years old & still working!
I have a more modern Dupla model too, that has been in service for about 7 years.
I like quality gear so £120 sounds reasonable to me - any more ideas....?

A reg as good as the 8500 series deserves a decent low pressure needle valve but I have'nt found anything yet! :?

How about a metering valve?? That's what I was planning on using with my murex dual stage.

I also can't find a better make than swagelok. Any ideas?

Some other folks have tried them.

But I think they are a bit pricey and as I don't think the Swagelock ones are made in the UK the threads on them may be an issue? I'm not too sure but believe the US use NPT threads and here in the UK we use BSP and Metric.
Ideally I'd be looking at a fine metering valve as you say.

Has anyone used the aqua essentials dual gauge reg? It has the solenoid and needle valve all built in for £89.99. It's the one I am looking at getting as I don't know much about setting up a reg them adding solenoid and needle valve
