I'm busy chasing down some nuisance aux air leaks and found that my generator air bag pressure regulator is leaking.

Anything special about replacing it? Is it simply a matter of matching it up at the local hardware store?

Thanks.....

Paul, I purchased mine from a Napa store. The new regulators came with new gages.

Paul,
I replaced mine about 6 months ago for the same reason. The original regulators (ours had two) had no gauge, I replaced them with regulators that had an integral gauge. Turned out the operating pressure for my bags is less than 20 psi, you might consider using a low pressure regulator maybe 0-30 or 0-60 psi to get it in the middle of the operating range. The gauges look goofy to me, 120 psi gauge with the dial at 18 psi on one side and 12 psi on the other.
