Adjustable pressure regulator for qualification

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

For my HPLC pump qualification I am looking for a device like this:
It is about 2 cm / 0.8" in height (it looks really big in the picture :o )

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B57F_5o ... FIems/edit

It has to provide a pressure of 1000 PSI over my pump. But it has to be adjustable for other purposes, such as seal pack calibration.

I don't know the official name for this device, which makes it even harder to find.
Backpressure-regulator?

I use a union and a column end cap/nut (very adjustable and cheap).
For the seal pack calibration I do the union trick too. The supplier suggested me this method for the same reasons :)
But for the qualification I need to collect the "waste" so a T-shape valve is more practical. And if I have to buy me such valve, it is more price efficient if I can also use it for the seal packs.
Grace/Alltech used to do quite a reasonable one. I haven't looked if they still do.
Found the exact same as in the picture:
