Hey guys, I picked up 4 older taprite regs on ebay dirt cheap to use as secondary regs in my keezer. Figure worst case scenario they need rebuilds and that'd still be cheaper than they were new.
Decided to test them gradually before implementing them to my system, so added my shut-off barbed fittings with ample thread tape, tightened everything up and hooked it up to my CO2 to pressurize.
I've got the 4 split so it's 2 double sets, hooked up the first two, pressured up to 20 psi then shut off my supply. My thought process here was they should maintain the 20 psi (or close) without any more pressure running to them. One set lost about 5 psi over a 24 hour period. So I decided to try the 2nd set and they lost all 20psi in ~1hr.
I know I can go through with soapy water tests etc, but is my methodology here right at all? Should I expect them to de-pressure with the gas off anyway?
