co2 regulator pressure relief

Post by denislemieux » Wed Apr 16, 2014 5:21 pm

My CO2 regulator is blowing off constantly, as soon as I turn on the tank the pressure relief blows off and no gas gets through the reg. It was working fine, I got my tank refilled, and now it doesn't work at all. Regulator is only about 2 months old. Anyone have any ideas?

When you first turn it on does the secondary gauge climb before it blows? (around 50-60psi?)

Apparently all I had to do was post to here and it is fixed. I went to verify whether it was reading, and now it is not blowing off.

Originally I had the pressure turned all the way down to my serving pressure mark (9psi) and it was blowing at that setting, but I did not confirm the reading on the gauge. I had disconnected the regulator, and went back to reconnect it to test. it read 9 PSI and didn't blow. I then turned it up to 30 and confirmed it still didn't blow.

So hopefully it is all good now.
