How did switching needle valves end up working out for you? I could be wrong but looking at the picture and the Trinity website I get the impression that it is only an air source adapter with a gauge that you are hooking a needle valve to. I think that might be why you have the inconsistent output because you need a regulator, not ASA, to lower the roughly (800 psi?) of a 20 oz. tank to a more manageable 5-10 psi for your needle valve to function properly. Just my 2 cents. I'd love to know if this worked for you because I'd much rather be able to buy that $15 ASA then drop $65-80 on a regulator.
