Kegco KC LH-542 Premium Pro Series Dual Gauge Co2 Draft Beer Regulator, Chrome

Excelente

needed it for a replacement on my kegerator...would definitely recommend for others

Replaced an old leaking regulator with this new product. It was easy to install and has had no apparent leaking in the 2 weeks of ownership. I like the easy-to-read gauges and the pressure-adjustment dial is easier to use than what our previous regulator had.

At first it functioned fine, although it was difficult to adjust the pressure via the front knob. Then it developed a slow leak out of the relief valve. Now I can't even open a new cylinder without gas coming out at high pressure.

I thought this regulator would be fine for my kegerator but it’s basically worthless since I can’t adjust the pressure. I turn the adjustment knob as low as it will go but still the pressure is too high. Doesn’t matter how high or low you adjust it, the pressure doesn’t change.

I purchased this regulator to make carbonated water at home. We don't drink pop (soda for the non-midwesterners), nor beer. But my kids like H2O type water. So I use this to carbonate 2 liter pop bottles very inexpensively.The first one that I got had a bent faceplate on the low-pressure gauge. This prevented the needle from going any higher than about 30 psi. I carbonate at 40psi. So I took off the cover to that gauge and bent the metal faceplate backwards to clear the needle. It appears that the two little holes for the mounting screws were improperly located, making the faceplate higher than it should be.Then after 2 months, the pressure regulator part started not working correctly. It would keep rising pressure until the relief valve dumped pressure. I knew that this meant that it hit the limit of about 50 psi and then dumped.I emailed the company that sold the product, through the amazon contact seller link, and they apologized and sent out a replacement regulator. I received the replacement regulator within about a week, and this one seems to be working fine.Time will tell if it starts not regulating, but at least this faceplate is not bent and the needle works just fine.But for now, we love having very inexpensive carbonated water around. My estimate is upfront cost of the regulator, the hose, or the ball-lock connector, or the ball-lock 2-liter top, or the purchase of a CO2 tank (i bought a 20lb tank), totals to be about $175. This is compared to a soda stream at about $100.But with a 20-lb CO2 tank, people report they can fill somewhere between 1000 and 1500 2-liter pop bottles of water before having to recharge. Since a recharge is about $20, that brings cost per 2-liter bottle down to about $0.02 per 1.5-liters.Considering that 130-liters of sodastream charge runs about $60, that's about $0.50 per liter! Sure, mine doesn't look as pretty, and can't sit on a countertop, but it sits in our furnace room just fine. I fill about 4 2-liter bottles at a time and store them in the fridge.

Overall ok but only issue I have with it is that the pressure release valve does close and allows air to escapeWhen I say does not close I mean it opens when the tank is turn on weak spring inside looking to see if I can find the tool to remove the end cap and replace the spring
