Since I started kegging ive gone thru 2 x 20 lbs and one x 5lbs of co2 cause there seems to be s slow leak somewhere I can't find. Long story I'm starting with the regulator as there are 4 adapters from regulator to tank as the nipple is right hand thread. Does anyone know where I can find one of these locally?

I was having the same problem. I changed all the o-rings on the kegs and it sorted it out.

I would think a place like Praxair or similar would have that piece. I had a similar leak in an older regulator that cost me a couple of 5lb tanks as well. Ended up being the brass fitting that your co2 line connects to. There is a gasket in there that dried up and became brittle over time. I replaced it with one of these:

When I first setup my keezer I had leaks. I filled a bucket with water and put everything in (positive pressure of CO2 will prevent water from getting in). I saw instantly everywhere there was a leak. Some at the ball lock connectors, some on the manifold. A bit extra Teflon tape helps!

Just checked don Brenton and prax air and no luck. Will have to order online, replace the keg seals and hope for the best!
