Solenoid and regulator query?

[doobiw55]

I recently bought this solenoid value

And I have this co2 set http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/colombo-floragrow-co2-nano-set-p-3882.html?cPath=194_247

How would you suggest to fit the solenoid? I've been having some difficulty with it!?

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom
Run one piece of Co2 tubing from the regulator attache to the solenoid behind where the arrow points this is the direction of the Co2 flow, attache another piece of Co2 tubing on the other connection then a check valve, next is the diffuser.
You can get a plug converter from here http://www.powerconnections.co.uk/conve ... k_scp3.htm
If you don't want to remove the euro plug.
Purchase a timer and your all set to go.

Thanks hoggie, but this is exactly what I had done! from where I had the tube from the reg to the solenoid it kept splitting the tube after and hour or so after the solenoid kicked in. I'm using jbl co2 tubing so thought it would withstand the pressure build up?! I think I might be able to connect the solenoid straight to reg, do you think this would be wise?

Thanks
Tom
