Need suggestions for a needle valve

I have had a few email exchanges, and it has been difficult to get information. The latest example: I asked for more specific information about the Cv (A value "Cv" is noted on the product drawing I received in the previous email response) and the reply I get later that day is a specs sheet about a Check Valve. Not even the same type of product. Just sharing, Ken in NC -------------- Backwoods Roaster "I wish I could taste as well as I wish I could roast."

I'd be happy to lend a hand and rattle their cage. Allen 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana

The specs she sent me do not list the PMV 1 but she assured me that they are all within 90% of the specs. After getting the specs sheet i am now able to formulate more direct questions about the item. This is my last query. Quote The PMV #1 is not listed in the document you sent. You stated it is a special non cataloged item for Generant. I don?t need to be non-standard, I don?t think. The #2 is on the chart, so what is the difference between the 1 & 2? Maybe I do not need a 1. You said they are 90% the same. PMV-1T ... Not a threaded fitting? Is a PMV-1F or PMV-2F a female NPT? That would be easier for me to install. Brass or SS, is there much price difference? I do not see it mattering in my use. Stainless is my choice unless the price difference is significant.. Straight, not Angle. I am not sure what the K is for, Krytox? I am using propane, so that may, or may not be necessary. What is used other than that. I would prefer Viton o-rings. -------------- Backwoods Roaster "I wish I could taste as well as I wish I could roast." As Abraham Lincoln said "Do not trust everything you read on the internet".

Pipes are 1/2" and from what I've been reading you guys made good progress with the needle valve issue. Any recommendations so far? I thought that PMV series would be to small for a such big roaster, or am I mistaken? Max burn capacity is of 16000kCal, which would be around 63450 BTUs. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Also, what pressure will be entering the valve? Allen 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana
