Kegco KC LH 542 2 Product Regulator Review

Control valve/adjustment mechanism is not smooth and check valves leak. This is my second, the first was exactly the same. As long as you have 2 kegs on the lines it's fine, but if you switch them do it quickly as there will always be a small CO2 leak when the keg is disconnected.

It's terrible. I used four 5 lb CO2 canisters because of a regulator leak. I can't figure out where the leak is coming from. Sprayed soap and water still can't find the leak. The pressure does not stay accurate and the push button does not work. I hooked up my old regulator and it worked fine. Don't waste your money on this product.

First I moved the tank adapter from right to left. Recapped with a good quality thread sealant while I had it on my workbench as I saw virtually no trace of thread sealant on the pipe threads. The regulator itself isn't very smooth, but it works great, no leaks, and I like it. Retaining ring on regulator knob to save setting.

There is no point in buying a regulator with two valves. With a simple bracket you can get as many valves as you want without adding extra parts and connections to an expensive and delicate component (regulator). He also dumped a full tank of CO2 on me the first time I left the tank on overnight. I haven't trusted him since then. I still use it but I don't leave my CO2 stuck anymore.

So far, so good. The fuel gauge, which pulls up to show me the amount left in the tank, has been at 500psi since I dealt with a begging pat when I had a new tank. (Doesn't about 2000 have to be filled in completely?). Another trick is the knob to adjust the pressure that goes into the barrel when the gas is on and going through the regulator, that little knob is hard to turn any higher. I set it to 10-12 and let's say I wanted to go to 40, it almost doesn't want to rotate.

This controller has turned out to be defective. I've been trying to pump fizzy moonshine with this thing for months to no avail. Eventually I realized that it wasn't regulating the incoming CO2 at all. I disconnected all lines from the regulator and set them to zero psi. And the psi is slowly increasing to 60! I even turned off the regulator right off the CO2 tank and it still went up to 60psi. I connected another regulator to the same setup and it worked perfectly. This one is clearly broken.

Despite all the bad reviews, the one I bought works well. I hooked it up to a full 20lb carbon dioxide tank, pressurized it, set the gauge to 15psi, turned off the gas in the carbon dioxide tank and left it alone. After 2 days I noticed it had lost about 2-3 psi so I tightened the connection to the CO2 tank (about ¼ turn), turned the pressure back up and left it for 2 weeks. The pressure gauge held the pressure without losing even 1 psi. hose with an inner diameter of 5 mm and an outer diameter
