Primary regulator wanted.
Primary regulator wanted.
My old CO2 regulator is knackered I've not used it for over 8 years and had it for use in conjunction with aquarium stuff so I need to replace it so before I head off to eblag does anyone have a primary (or dual) that they want to sell?

Re: Primary regulator wanted.
I have one, it's a pure primary - no pressure gauge - so ideal if you have secondary regs. You could remove one of the safety valves and install a gauge if you really wanted to.
Re: Primary regulator wanted.
Interesting, how much would that be, if I stripped off a gauge from my broken reg and replaced a safety valve do you know if that would give me the bottle pressure or working pressure? I don't have a secondary but if I got one that might give me greater flexibility as I believe they can be daisy chained together?

Re: Primary regulator wanted.
I don't know which it would give, probably best used with secondary regs (I just sold 6 on eBay). It's just a spare so £5 would be fine.Jeltz69 wrote:Interesting, how much would that be, if I stripped off a gauge from my broken reg and replaced a safety valve do you know if that would give me the bottle pressure or working pressure?

To be honest http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Single-Stage- ... 23405a2031 for under £23 delivered sounds amazing. Just swap the outlet for a John guest fitting and it's perfect.
Re: Primary regulator wanted.
Thanks Roger I may well be suited, I'm waiting to hear back from someone who has something like the one you linked to spare apparently they aren't great for low pressure control but he also has a couple of secondary regs which can be attached after. :)

Re: Primary regulator wanted.
I use one of those regs and it's fine.
Be wary of used (primary) regs, check the date they are certified to - having checked my spare it's only certified 'till 2016. It will then go in the bin. Check for signs of liquid getting into the reg. Always use a oneway valve to protect the reg. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/John-Guest-3- ... 25865ce207)
I have worked around bottled gas for over 30 years and would never take chances.

Re: Primary regulator wanted.
I totally agree, I didn't realise regulators had a best before date, that's something to check. Cheers.
