Spunding Valve Build: Using Primefit CR1401G Replacement Air Regulator

A Spunding Valve allows you to maintain a set pressure.  If pressure in the vessel exceeds the set point, it is expelled.  It generally consists of an adjustable PRV valve, a tee, a gauge and a way to connect to your keg.  Read lots and lots more about Spunding Valves, ways to use them and different build options on our Spunding Valve Resource Post

Most of our builds consist of a PRV Valve + tee + gauge + connection option.  Generally four parts in total.  The build detailed in this post utilizes Primefit’s CR1401G Replacement Air Regulator.  That one piece replaces the tee and gauge.
