Nice regulator, good price and free shipping. It looks like they're going quick.
I have no affiliation with the seller. Just passing it along.
Cheers

I have 1 of these. Very nice gauge. Been using it for several years. Easy to disconnect and disconnect, and changing psi is super-easy. Main problem I have with it is you can't release pressure at the gauges. If you're over pressure and want to back it off, you have to turn off the co2 bottle, release pressure in the keg, then let the gauges drop pressure.

"Well, actually..."

I have a dual body Taprite primary regulator for my keezer, and their primary regulators with the big red knobs have an internal PRV that is activated by turning the pressure knob down multiple turns. It is a bit of a pita because you have to significantly crank the knob to get to the release point then carefully dial back up to desired pressure...

Cheers!

Tap-Rite is all I've known. This is a fairly minor annoyance. Or, anyway, I'm used to it.

They don't all work this way, I take it?

I don't know if there are other branded regulators that work that way.
My other branded regulators are from Chudnow and Micromatic, and both sport auto/manual PRVs screwed into the bodies. Pressure release is thus just a tug away for those, no need to affect pressure settings...

Cheers!

That does sound rather handy.
