Question 1

Is there any way to add an additional regulator so that two different pressures can be set? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WXBD4O

Accepted Answer

Yes, remove the hi pressure gauge and put a 1" or 2" extension pipe where the gauge was. Make sure that the threds on the extension are going the right way. They will be left or right. Than add the second regulator to the end of the extension.

Question 2

Is there a handle I can add to the hex knob to make it easier to adjust the output pressure?  Right now I'm using a wrench.

Accepted Answer

My Kegco came with a dial for the pressure.  It has a plus and a minus on it and that is where I adjust it (see the picture).  If you did not get this knob then most likely you would have to use a wrench or screw driver.  On the old regulator I did have to use a screw driver and the adjustment was hard to make.  If you don't have the new Kegco regulator it is worth the purchase.

Question 3

Is this regulator cheap in quality and will it continually leak co2 after one use?

Accepted Answer

It does not leak, but the gauge and/or the release valve is inaccurate. Sometimes I could wind the pressure up to what the gauge said was 50 PSI with no problems, other times, the release valve would activate at that level. And sometimes the valve would blow at lower PSIs, so the gauge would read 40 PSI but the release valve would engage. For the record, I believe the documentation says the valve should engage at 45 PSI. I don't remember. I ended up buying a regulator from www.micromatic.com, and have been much happier with it.

Question 4

Where can I get a compatible gauge protector

Accepted Answer

This should work. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulators/cages/WGC.shtml
