My kegging equipment was delivered today:ban:

One problem - on my dual regulator, the high pressure gauge's plastic window is cracked - sort of like a spreading rock chip in a windshield. Will this cause any operational problems? If not, it is definitely not worth the time and effort to send back as the gauge is perfectly readable.

Thanks.

I have seen oxygen gauges with the glass knocked out that continued to work for years in a filthy shop environment.
 
Won't be a problem, just don't go jamming anything in there. The glass isn't holding back any of that high pressure, it's just there to protect the needle.
