I've been in touch with Norman and he's going to replace the gauge FOC, now that's what I call service.

I'm also ordering another 2 cornies to complete my set up B)

Had a good look at my reg just now and it's thrown up another question.

If as discussed earlier the 2nd reg cannot go beyond the pressure of the 1st, what happens if the 1st has a higher limit than the second? Does the second just bottom out at its limit? :blink:

Also, if running 4 cornies from 2 regs, splitting the line 2 way each side, if the reg reads 20 psi is it applying 20 psi to both corny's equally? :stun

And finally, does anybody have the link to the corny disconnect pressure gauge?
I'm sure it was Hop and Grape but cant find it!

Cheers DAT, that's the baby. I want one so I can check the corny's pressure without having to operate the prv and then re pressurise via gas bottle, thats a waste of co2!

DaaB Outlet 1 rated at 1-105 psi (gauge max 160), outlet 2 rated at 0-75 psi (gauge max 100), sounds a bit strange :huh:

Can't get the hang of quoting but re post above

Norman sent me a replacement f.o.c and it works a treat B)

I now have in my gruby paws one of these little beauties, As far as i can tell identical in looks to yours Vossy1.

If i turn the screw clockwise (Screw goes in, spring is compressed) does this increase or decrease pressure??

Hello IRM, Before opening the gas bottle valve on the tank screw the screws on, the reg, all the way anticlockwise, until they stop.
They will stop and not just come out.
Then open the gas bottle valve.
Attach your grey disconnect to the corny and then turn the right hand screw clockwise until you reach the pressure you want.
If your leaving your corniy's attached to the gas bottle, its that simple.
Just do the same with the left reg screw but remember the left reg cannot deliver a higher pressure than the right reg is set at.

Both mine are set at 20psi. The gas bottle will top up as you go along.

Check for leaks. I found one of my reg imputs to be leaking last night so I will have to replace this before leaving connected continuously, or I'll lose all my gas :(

Thanks Vossy1,
I was wondering about this as i had a little play last night but didn't want to unscrew them to far and end buggering the reg up!

So with them fully unscrewed to the stop will they not delivery any gas?
In other words the reg will pressureise but delivery pressure will be zero

Cheers

Correct!

The screw may come out (mine do) but don't worry it doesn't affect the reg. the delivery pressure is still zero (off).
