Regulator leakage...what is normal?

[donchiquon]

No luck so far with the search. Yesterday I unplugged all the lines and "blocked" the lines out with small lengths of 3/8 with leak-checked grey discos.

12hrs later the cylinder gauge had dropped 10 bar.

Assuming that this is definitely not normal so will turn on the cylinder later today and see if I can see any leaks on the reg using Starsan.

Pressure last night:


Pressure this morning:

Try a little soapy water round every connection.

Mine leaked too and couldn't find the culprit so bought non return valves... they stop liquid coming back up the lines too or so it says in the blurb.

I got slapped the last time I suggested that

Will give it a go later. Hoping I can track the bugger down before I leave for a month.

Nifty! Where did you get them from?

Wonder if there is a JG version that I could fit further up the line (before it splits)to avoid buying so many...

im trying to see if there is a cheaper supply alternative

Ive now soaped and starsanned the lot. No sign of bubbles anywhere. V odd!

I spoke to the supplier, Brandels this afternoon. They have immediately organised a courier collection and swap.

Much of my kit is second hand, so very happy/relieved that I bought this new. Excellent company!
