Beer In My Reg

[sam]

Hi all,

Did a silly thing and let some beer get into my regulator (Harris 601).

Any tips on how to clean/rinse it or anything?

Maybe I'll get a check valve soon.

Cheers,

Sam

I can't help you, but do a search, I know this topic has been covered before, and I am sure there are directions to clean a reg somewhere.

here's one and there are others dead reg

cheers

I'd pull it apart and clean it out, as long as you just use alcohol etc, it should be fine. Having pulled apart my dead reg, i now see there is nothing to them, just a spring, diaphragm and some seals. You could possibly just force up some water and metho the same way you did with the beer, although i'm told this can damage them.

I'll see if i can dig up the pics of my reg when i left the beer in it to go feral.

Cool,

Just took it apart. Simple things. It looks really clean so I'll just give it wipe with an alcohol swap.

The other thing, the beer went all the way through my reg (it was coming out the gas in pipe), so are there any other bits to clean?

Cheers,

Sam
