Gas regulator parts can break down with regular use over time. There's nothing worse than buying a great new bottle of wine, only to have the regulator break down just before you've started pouring. However, gas regulators are not that much different than other types of home appliance parts. They can be expensive to replace, so it's important that you buy quality parts from reputable retailers so you won't spend a fortune on a brand new product.

Gas regulator parts can easily break down with harsh pressure changes, physical damage, and simple wear. Replacing parts on a gas regulator can be as simple as replacing a hose or valve assembly. And this is good especially if you have several bottles of wine waiting for bottling, counter-pressure canned or bottled, or served out to your guests.

The most likely way that your gas regulator will fail in terms of longevity is if it is used regularly. When you pour too much wine into the carafe and open the tap, the pressure from the gas will build up, causing the system to open the valves and release the excess gas, which causes the system to shut off. A high level of pressure in the air lines can also cause a loss of pressure in the regulator.

If your system is experiencing problems with getting the pressure regulated at a consistent rate, the problem could be caused by carbon dioxide in the air. When carbon dioxide builds up in the air line, the pressure decreases, which results in a lower pressure level, making it harder for the regulator to regulate. You can check the pressure of the air lines by turning on the gas outlet and checking the pressure. When the line is properly shut off, it indicates that carbon dioxide is blocking the pressure from opening and closing properly.

Another factor that will determine the longevity of gas regulator parts is the amount of use it gets. While a new model will typically last much longer, you may need to replace the old parts at the first signs of trouble. Even the easiest of gas regulator systems can be difficult to clean or maintain. It's important to use a soft cloth to wipe away the accumulated debris, so you don't end up ruining the internal mechanism of the regulator.

Gas regulator parts can be expensive to replace, so it's important to make sure you know exactly how much you're spending. before you shop for the new parts.
