CGA-320 Keg Regulator, Quick Disconnect CO2 Kegerator Regulator with Pressure Adjustment Knob, Beer Regulator with Safety Manual Pressure Relief Valve, with 2 Swivel Nut & 1/4’’ & 5/16’’ Barb

Update: Manufacturer contacted and apologized for the issues. Apparently, they’re a new company and still working to smooth everything out. They offered to send a new regulator free of charge, no strings attached. They noted my critiques and conceded there’s room for improvement. Changed from 3 to 4 stars for proactive vendor.Out of the box, the regulator would not funnel air through the output valve. I followed the instructions for “stuck value knob”, but this did not fix it. I ended up removing the on/off knob. I could have possibly overtightened the knob and jammed it in place.The overpressure preventer value blows out at 40psi. Anything over 40psi (granted this regulator is rated for 60) triggers the emergency pressure release mechanism. I used a ziptie to prevent the release valve from opening. Consequently, the regulator can now comfortably output 0-100psi (I may have received a defective item, but since it was easily fixed, I won’t be returning it. Be warned of potentially faulty regulators. I’m sure many customers have had flawless performance from the regulator, but this was unfortunately not my experience.I will concede that once I modified the regulator, I’ve since had no problems.TL;DR: Defective item, maybe? Rated for 60psi, but realistically can only output 40psi due to an easily fixable defect. Build quality is otherwise good. Manufactured offered free replacement with no required return.Edit: After leaving this review, the manufacturer of this product reached out and sent me a new regulator with a correction to the overpressure valve. They did this free of charge and did not request the old regulator be returned. 5 stars for a proactive merchant with good business practices and customer support. The new regulator works as intended.

This setup is a pretty good value. It is well constructed, the filler hose is not overly “sturdy” or hard to handle, the valves don’t seem to leak, the gauges are easy to read. It works just as it should.

This regulator replaced an old taprite that had started to leak. It seems to be made well and is not leaking(3 months after purchase).Leaving a review here to say that, while there are plastic washers included, my regulator came with a tank nipple that has a captive o-ring, like Taprite regulators have. This makes the plastic washers unnecessary. A little confusing for those who've never used regulators with a captive oring, but now i have extra washers for my other regulators.

Overall this is a good unit. Easy to read, easy to adjust. The only issue is that the hose barb seems a bit small. It says its a 5/16 barb, which would be standard size for a CO2 line, but its substantially smaller than other 5/16 barbs and the hose seems quite loose. I was able to secure it with the provided clamps, but I'm concerned about leaks. I think the barb is actually for a 3/16 hose, or maybe 1/4 inch. It would be simple enough to swap the barb, or change out the hose. Right now I'm using my existing 5/16 tubing and the hose barb, but I might switch it out if it seems the gas is running out fast. - Updated with lower rating. So after using this for a bit I've come to experience all of the same issues other people have complained about. The pressure relief valve started leaking and the regulator cannot maintain common serving pressures (8-12psi). I now have to check my regulator regularly and fiddle with the dial as it often drops to zero pressure at seemingly random times. Its too bad, there's a lot to like with this unit, but ultimately if it cannot hold pressure and suffers from leaks, then its not very useful.

UPDATE to 4 Stars: After leaving the review below customer service reached out and offered both replacement and refund in a timely fashion. Excellent support, company stands behind their product.Original 2 Stars: Assembly and directions were straightforward. In 30 minutes I was happily carbonating beverages. Unfortunately, shortly after the return window closed, the pressure relief valve blew while at 40 PSI. The sudden discharge dislodged the canister from its place and the whole assembly went tumbling. The dials and relief valve will need to be placed and the floors were damaged during the fall. A total loss. From what I can tell the relief valve's spring failed as it will not pull itself closed even when not under pressure.

I love this product...IT is the regulator to my C02 tank....it work wonderfully

After a month of use, the item has an issue in functioning properly. However, I appreciate the seller's prompt response in issuing a full refund. Thank you for your professional customer service!

I dunno, it works well most of the time but it's slowly leaking from somewhere draining the CO2 tank 1 day at a time. I notice the leaking starts after adjusting the +/- pressure knob ring. It's annoying and i wish i would have spent 25 dollars more on something more reliable.
