I recently damaged the membrane of a friend's Kegco regulator by restricting flow at he shutoff and letting it hum. It was laziness; I just didn't want to reset the regulator from 40 PSI down to the 5 PSI I wanted to work with "just for a min". The telltale sign is that the regulator no longer holds a consistent pressure. The low pressure gauge slowly climbs to max pressure, then triggers the pressure relief valve. A classic tell for a damaged membrane (the hum is the membrane vibrating).
I called the Beverage Factory and was informed that the regulator is exclusive to them and that they don't sell repair parts. This seems silly to me. Has anyone else found a work-around? Another company's membrane that works? Repair tips to DIY?
Specific regulator is the Kegco 542. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/double/premium_double_gauge_542.html
