I Bought this filter regulator, seemed beautifully made.
But it leaks like a sieve!
All around the joint between the bowl and the body.
It is as though they forgot the O Ring Gasket #29
My problem is with no manual as such, apart from attached Parts List,
How does one undo the lower “bowl” ?
(i.e. the part with the six polycarb clear windows?)
I assumed it would just unscrewed, but its locked on rock solid.
Unfortunately I bought this a few weeks ago Awaiting the compressor. So might have missed my return window at Screwfix
And without a water filter, can’t really use the Compressor
Quite pleased with the Nuair except it does lose 2 Bar in 4 hours, not sure if thats normal due to cooling down or permissible slow leaks - can’t see, hear or feel any leaks. Is that normal?
