Co2 reg leaking gauge.

Post by Snips19 » Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:32 pm

Hi all I have a new cornelius primary regulator only been used for a couple of kegs, I noticed today that there is co2 leaking out of the back of the gauge. Is this a common thought or am I just unlucky .Thanks in advance.

Get yourself some ptfe tape and re- screw in the gauge. Chances are the leak is from the screw fitting of the gauge.

It's definitely the gauge if I put my finger over the end I can almost stop the leak.

If it's new, you should send it back
