Your cart is empty.The Kegco 542 Pro Series works with any CO2 tank with a CGA-320 valve and measures psi, as well as the volume of the CO2 gas in the cylinder. The regulator body is constructed of forged brass with all brass Connections and components, a sintered brass inlet filter, integrated nylon tank Connection washer (and spare) And self resetting safety release valve. Both gauges feature an easy to read design. The top gauge lets you know how much CO2 pressure is in the keg and displays 0-60 psi. The second gauge lets you know how much CO2 gas is left inside the CO2 tank and features a 0-2000 display. A large adjustment knob with a lock ring allows gas flow to be changed without the need for a screw driver. This regulator includes a tamper proof safety pressure relive valve that releases at 45 psi. There is also a shut off valve that allows for instantly shutting off pressure to the keg without backing up your gas line.

I purchased this regulator to make carbonated water at home. We don't drink pop (soda for the non-midwesterners), nor beer. But my kids like H2O type water. So I use this to carbonate 2 liter pop bottles very inexpensively.The first one that I got had a bent faceplate on the low-pressure gauge. This prevented the needle from going any higher than about 30 psi. I carbonate at 40psi. So I took off the cover to that gauge and bent the metal faceplate backwards to clear the needle. It appears that the two little holes for the mounting screws were improperly located, making the faceplate higher than it should be.Then after 2 months, the pressure regulator part started not working correctly. It would keep rising pressure until the relief valve dumped pressure. I knew that this meant that it hit the limit of about 50 psi and then dumped.I emailed the company that sold the product, through the amazon contact seller link, and they apologized and sent out a replacement regulator. I received the replacement regulator within about a week, and this one seems to be working fine.Time will tell if it starts not regulating, but at least this faceplate is not bent and the needle works just fine.But for now, we love having very inexpensive carbonated water around. My estimate is upfront cost of the regulator, the hose, or the ball-lock connector, or the ball-lock 2-liter top, or the purchase of a CO2 tank (i bought a 20lb tank), totals to be about $175. This is compared to a soda stream at about $100.But with a 20-lb CO2 tank, people report they can fill somewhere between 1000 and 1500 2-liter pop bottles of water before having to recharge. Since a recharge is about $20, that brings cost per 2-liter bottle down to about $0.02 per 1.5-liters.Considering that 130-liters of sodastream charge runs about $60, that's about $0.50 per liter! Sure, mine doesn't look as pretty, and can't sit on a countertop, but it sits in our furnace room just fine. I fill about 4 2-liter bottles at a time and store them in the fridge.

I've been using this regulator for a few months and it worked great out of the box. I removed the hose barb to replace with a duotight fitting very easily and have not had any leaks. The dial seems accurate compared to other regulators I have and fit perfectly on the CO2 tank. It feels like it's pretty durable and I don't foresee any issues with quality

I will preface my write up by saying that I am not a beer brewer, so please consider my use is simply carbonating water for use in home bottled soda. I was a soda stream user for a long time and between price hikes and product changes I decided to go another way. Now I purchase either coke bag in box or similar "off brand" Bib syrups from local distributors. I use this with a 5 pound mini tank in my garage and almost exclusively carbonate water. In the last 5 months I've carbonated at least 200 1 liter bottles of water without issue. I have noticed that the emergency release vale can be a little sensitive, i.e. if I bump the tank or tug the line a bit too much while agitating my 1 liter I have a time or two caused the valve to pop. It's a simple quick fix of pushing it back in and I guess realistically I would rather it be too sensitive then fail to function in a failure situation. Other folks have commented about the cheap quality, I honestly don't feel it has a cheap feel but I wonder if folks aren't comparing this to more high end beer brewing equipment... In context that would be like saying a Kia (or even a Honda) is "cheap" because it's not as nice as a Bugatti. As an entry level gauge this thing has performed for me just fine, my unit did not come with any shipping damage and has functioned great for my purpose of carbonating water to be used with soda syrups.

Just like several other people that gave a review, the regulator knob is very hard to tun, but I solved this with a #30 wrench socket that gives me more grip (see picture). It's fairly easy to turn it by hand now (I don't need the wrench by the way).I also noticed the gauge gradually loses pressure after I close the main Co2 tank valve, which means that the gauge is slightly leaking somewhere. However, for me that's no problem because I only use it to carbonate water and soda beverages, and I close the main tank valve when I'm done. But, if you need to use continuous pressure, I have my doubts about this gauge, and I would recommend a better quality gauge and regulator.

Replaced an old leaking regulator with this new product. It was easy to install and has had no apparent leaking in the 2 weeks of ownership. I like the easy-to-read gauges and the pressure-adjustment dial is easier to use than what our previous regulator had.

I have no practical experience with this kind of equipment but it seems to work just fine and be of a decent quality. When it arrived the barb had pierced the box but there was no damage. It was packaged well enough that I'm not sure why it had poked the box. It came with two washers and,, though it took a minute, i think I like the pressure knob. The build seems sturdy------The regulator stopped working after first use, past return date.------Ok, here it is, I replaced the low pressure gauge and it seems to work fine with one caveat every time you change the bottle and the very first time you install it, you need to start at 0 and dial up slowly. Otherwise the pressure just keeps rising until it releases. The low pressure gauge broke partially from me not realizing what was going on quick enough and the regulator seems to work fine if you know how to baby it...that's why it gets a two and not a one.---------Stopped working completely, gets a one.

I used the regulator with a 5 lb CO2 tank for a home made kegerator. Worked fine. I had 200 feet of 3/16 flexible line running through ice water and had to use 40lbs of pressure to push the beer without any foam and it worked great.
