Regulator Pressure Relief Leak

guinsu · Jul 10, 2010

I've got a slow leak in the pressure relief valve on my beer gas regulator (a nitrogen reg). Is there some adjustment I can make to it to get it to seal up better? For the record it is this reg:

It looks like you could just crank it a little tighter into the regulator body with a wrench...

It seems like it is actually leaking from the red plastic part of the pressure relief valve.

I don't have a lot of experience but that would seem like a part you can't do much to. A good tightening still couldn't hurt (did you try that yet), maybe take it off entirely first and then wrap some Teflon tape around the threads before screwing it back in. Can't hurt in any case... anyone else have any ideas?
