Taprite T742HP Dual-Gauge Carbon Dioxide Regulator for Primary Use

Stephen Scheff: Perfect for home brewing. My old one lasted 10 years and started to leak somewhere. Rather than try to fix it I just bought a new one. Works very well and a necessity when kegging bear.

Sandy Ganz: Got this to make a system to replace the costly tanks used by the $oda$tream carbonator. I wanted a regulator that would do 55psi and this one was on the edge. But after setting it up and giving it a try it worked out well. The small valve on the hose end is nice as well when changing bottles.

One issues that I did find is that you can't push it much over 55psi. If you do it will work but eventually the regulator will leak C02 as I think it's beyond it's range. Keeping it right at 55psi seems to be a good spot, and have now done over 50 bottles with no issues.

Zwack87: This was my first time replacing a regulator and it was not only extremely easy to install, but it functions beautifully. I did test for leaks once in use by spraying some starsan on the joints; no bubbles detected and was good to go. I would recommend you do the same so you don’t waste your tank of gas.

Most importantly, you can easily dial in your desired psi. I have 2 beers on tap, a Kölsch and a NEIPA; they’ve both come out perfectly carbonated.

Daniel R.: I contacted Taprite using their "contact us" page and they sent a repar part right away. It was a little tricky to reinstall the bellows, but once I got it right (I didn't understand what they ment by "slide it on") I was able to get it working again.

I forgot that you cannor trust amazon suppiers to ship a useable product. Missed the return window of only 30 days. the knob adjusting screw came over tightened so much that even wd40 and pb blaster wouldn't alow me to losten it with tools. The instructions were missing from the box so I assume they sent a returned item and epresented it as new and unused.

Brian S.: Bought this for my kegerator, which came with a cheaper regulator that did not show the contents/pressure of the gas tank.

I'm not sure what to say besides that it works perfectly-- it does not leak, the cutoff switch works great, and the pressure adjuster knob works is very easy to use.

The gauges are clear and operate smoothly. The brass is well-formed (no dents, dings or defects).

If you are looking to upgrade the regulator that came with your kegerator, this is what you want.

NOTE: this same brand offers a dual-regulator. I originally purchased that one because I wanted to run two gas lines into my kegerator (it can hold 2x 1/6 kegs), but I did not think beforehand to check the width of the port on my kegerator that I run the lines through. Basically, the port was not wide enough, and I did not want to widen it myself, so I returned the dual regulator and reverted back to a single. Just figured I'd note this here, in case maybe it could save someone else the hassle in the future.
