Switchover Valve FAQ
How do I know when a switchover valve has switched to the backup tank?
Most switchover valves have a visual indicator (a flag or gauge) showing which tank is active, so you can tell at a glance the primary is empty and needs replacing — check it as part of your regular gas check rather than waiting for pressure to drop.
Do I need a switchover valve if I only have one CO2 tank?
No — a switchover valve only matters when you're running dual cylinders. For a single-tank setup, a standard primary regulator is all you need; the switchover is specifically for automating the handoff between two tanks.
