Default Keg Coupler: Check Ball Required?

I have had my Danby for a few months now and always had the foaming problem. After messing around with it, I found out that my keg coupler was missing a Check Ball and Check Ball Retainer. Are these parts required? The beer flows, but I think flows too fast. Do the Check Ball and retainer restrict the flow? I was thinking they would help to slow the flow down and thus reduce foaming. I have the temp under control via the 33K ohm resistor mod.

I called Danby to see if they could send me replacement parts and experienced the worst customer service in my life. She started off by blurting out that these parts are not needed. I was told that the CO2 has to be a 8psi for a 1/2 barrel and 5psi for a 1/4 barrel. I told her it was set at 12psi and again blurted that it was too high. I told her I would be willing to buy the parts and still nothing. I did buy some replacement parts from micromatic, but they are too big for the Danby coupler.

Will these help my foaming problem or not?
