North American Dispensing Sytems Regulator 70012

[Jstout]

Just an FYI if you have this older model NADS 70012 regulator that needs repaired and you want to take a chance on fixing it. NADS was bought by Taprite and there is no longer parts for any NADS models. However, the Micromatic Economy Series Secondary Regulator Repair Kit 8000-15 Is almost an exact match. The Economy Series Regulator Seat Capsule Assy 8402 is a little off, but I got it to fit. I had to tighten it down firmly. Also, don't forget a 84010 Seat Spring. It's also slightly smaller, but worked. http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/regulators-pid-8011.html

I actually have two of these NADS Regulators and this Micromatic kit worked on one and not the other. Your odds are 50/50.

The older model Taprite repair kit looks like it could work also, but I didn't try it. The Diaphragm and Regulator Pressure Plate are one piece, but appear like they "might" work. http://www.chicompany.net/index.php...rch_in_description=1&keyword=regulator+repair

Also, the Draught Technologies repair kit looks like it might be an exact match, but again I haven't tried it. http://rapidswholesale.com/beer-sup...aught-technologies-regulator-repair-pack.html

These are very old regulators and you might just want to buy a new one.

As I get older, I notice that my NADS don't work as well as they used to... but I'm not ready to replace them. Yet. Maybe SWMBO has different plans....

Lol me either! That would be North American Dispense Systems to be clear!

Update: Forget most of the above advice. The way to go is draught technologies repair kit from rapids wholesale. It's an exact match. The kit doesn't come with a Bonnet Gasket, but the micro matic one seems to work fine.
