Co2 Regulator Screw

[Mylo]

So when does your mom install the scale under your keg to monitor your consumption?

Something similar happened to my regulator. It seemed to be leaking CO2 from behind the adjustment screw. I told B3 so they sent me a new one free of charge without asking for the original. Service like that makes me more than happy to pay the extra shipping to Ottawa.

I'm new to kegging too and just got a dual output regulator. Also just got a full 5lb tank and connected them. I cannot figure out how to get both outputs to shut off completely, I've been messing with the screws and have had each one shut off, but not at the same time.

Figured I'd ask before messing anything up. Any tips?

Thanks

Don't forget the stupid fucking little 15 cent ridged washer that goes between the regulator and the tank.

Don't ask me how I know.

If that washer response was towards me, I put one in there beforehand. Not 100% that I have the right side faced which way, but it's not like it came with instructions.

I have 3 CO2 regulators. One uses that washer and two do not. Using the washer in a regulator that doesn't need one will cause a leak just as bad as not using a washer when you should. I have made both mistakes.

You can tell the difference by looking inside the regulator fitting. Some will have an O-ring pressed into a groove on the flat face of the connector. Do not use a washer with this one.

Yeah, I've seen both, too.

The other thing about the washer is that one side has 1 ring on it, the other side has 2. Grease it up with Keg Lube and you'll get a good seal with no leaks.
