I'm putting together a new dual regulator system and have a question about leak checking. Once the regulator assembly is together and ready, I connected to the bottle, turned on the main valve, turned off the keg supply shut-offs and pressurized the assembly to 25psi. Checked all the joints with soapy water, then turned off the main tank valve and let the assembly stand under pressure overnight. The regulators show that I lost about 5psi in the assembly with the tank turned off in that period. Normal/acceptable or not. I'm new to kegging so just trying to get it right before putting the good stuff in.
