are unaware of a pressure drop in the regulator. If liquid flows back into the regulator it may result
in the regulator becoming damaged, hence, this should be avoided.
Performing a leak test
It is essential that a leak test is performed every time a gas bulb or Sodastream cylinder is connected
to the mini regulator. This can be performed via the methods described below:
1. Pressure decay test
Step 1. Connect your regulator up to your keg.
Step 2. Attach the CO
2
source to the regulator.
Step 3. Turn the adjustment dial on the regulator to register 5-10 psi on your pressure
gauge.
Step 4. Turn the adjustment dial to the off position and leave the regulator to sit for a few
hours. Then check if the pressure on the gauge has decreased from the set pressure.
If the pressure has decreased on the gauge then there is a leak in the system and the source
of the leak should be identified via a soapy water/stellarsan leak test.
Please note: If the keg has liquid in it then this can result in the pressure decreasing over a few hours
as the CO
2
is absorbed into solution. It is best to perform a pressure decay test on an empty keg.
2. Soapy water/Stellarsan Leak Test
Step 1. Connect your regulator up to your keg .
Step 2. Attach the CO
2
source to the regulator.
Step 3. Turn the adjustment dial on the regulator to register a reading on the gauge (a few
psi will be sufficient).
Step 4. Spray every connection with soapy water or stellarsan solution. This includes the
following connections:
Between the gas bulb/cylinder and regulator.
Between the regulator body and the 360° FFL fitting or 360° 6.5 mm duotight
compatible barb.
Between the regulator body and the output end cap.
Between the 360° FFL fitting and ball lock disconnect (if applicable).
Between the 360° 6.5 mm duotight compatible barb and the 8mm OD hose.
The ball lock posts and lid on the keg.
Please note: Stellarsan should not be used on duotight fittings and instead the use of soapy water is
preferred.
