Replacing a broken regulator

[Alimac019]

Hey folks,

I got a brand-new Co2 cylinder yesterday and test-ran it by attaching a previously faulty regulator (bad idea), and while confirming that the cylinder is working perfectly, my regulator confirmed it’s buggered.

I’ve never had to remove a regulator from a cylinder with loads of Co2 still in it. Is it as simple and safe as turning the gas supply off and unscrewing the regulator from the cylinder and fitting on my working one?

Just want to ensure I don’t gas myself.

Thanks!

Hi, firstly C02 is not poisonous (it smells a tad) and yes if you turn the C02 tank off then you can remove the regulator and fit the new one.
