Regulator

[crash]

This is the pressure regulator that I use,Just wondering if anyone else uses this style and have you had problems with it?I have been using this style for years ,this latest one that I have now is acting up the last time we went camping I didnt pay any attention to it when I hooked it up ,walked around to do something else and when I came back around the gauge was spiked all the way around to the pin at the end of the numbers:eek:.I turn water off unhook regulator and the needle is still stuck all the way around pegged out :confused:.water pressure at the campground isnt that high on pressure .Any ideas? Thanks

I have the same regulator. On our first trip out this year mine did the same thing. I carry a regulator without the gauge and used it with on problems.

When I got home I went to Tractor Supply and got a new gauge, replaced it and tested it at home - works fine. I got the gauge that only goes to 100psi.

I think the old gauge had water in it and froze over the winter.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Yeah... had the gauge freeze up over the winter a few years ago and after replacing the gauge all is well... Now I keep it in the house between trips in the winter and no problem since.

Also had the same problem here, as suspected they come with the cheapest gauge possible, just go down and buy a quality gauge and you will be good to go...

I've been using the same Watts regulator for over three years with no issue. i wasn't cheap, but cheap and quality do not work well in the same sentence.

Thanks everyone .I didnt know if there was problems internally or not,so I guess I will just remove the gauge and go get a new one.:D

I don't use a gauge.
