Adding a plastic dial to Chudnow Regulator screw

[paraderainer]

Hi All!

Ok... so I know this is mostly just an annoyance, but I just got started with kegging and got a kit with a Chudnow regulator. The pressure adjusting screw just ends in a slot screw vs a plastic dial you can turn by hand. I have my regulator/tank inside a small fridge, so adjusting pressure is a real pain in the bunghole to adjust with a screwdriver. I'd love it if I could add a dial cap or something to that screw so I could just reach in and adjust the pressure when necessary by hand vs having to use a screwdriver.

Anyone else feel my pain? Any easy solutions? I was going to hit up Home Depot today to see if there are any dials that could fit that screw.

Hope everyone's brewing this weekend!

fwiw, here's how I changed out the screw for a five-star knob.

[edit] There are lower-profile jig knobs that might be even better but that one is what I had in my left-overs bin...

Thanks for the reply. This solution (plus the others on that thread) should definitely work. Cheers!
