Interesting design.
Seems to be a lot like the raw reg seat. Very easy to machine membrane and press in a new one.
They just drilled the air ways from the side though.
Want to add my two bits about reg recovery and creep.
Over the year I’ve spent days messing with expensive gauges and reg testers trying to figure out why some creep more that others. Basicly, it’s a delay in reaching the set point. Can be instantaneous, 1min, 2 min, 5min…30min or an hour. Or possibly even overnight.
I’ve concluded it comes down to how well the whole assembly was machined. Meaning how tight is the tolerable that mates the reg membrane with the brass air nipple.
Let’s just speculate u have a perfectly functional reg, but u go to adjust it 10-30 bar. If those two components aren’t perfectly matched up…there’s no way the reg will function the same as it previously did. As the nipple creates an impression in the membrane, and now this impression no longer matches up.
Ive concluded that some reg bodies just don’t work. I’ve never really gone through the effort of testing my findings with cmm measuring equipment…but maybe that’s the next step
