Hello. Overall, the video was very nicely done.
Thanks very much.
Cheers.
Thanks very much.
Cheers.
I didn't comment after video #1.
But seeing this technique of hand torquing regulators is just unacceptable.
Apeks may be one of the last diaphragm regs to specify "snug, metal-to-metal" for their diaphragm clamp in lieu of a torque setting, but in my mind, installation still requires a vise to hold the reg body. The tool used in the video even has a broach for a 3/8" handle, which is not used.
And the DIN bolt does have a torque setting, which is entirely disregarded in this video.
I'm sorry, but this is not a model for reassembly.
