My regulator is pressure creeping on the low side...   the low side PSI will climb up towards 20 psi when the torch is not in use.  During use, it regulates well

Seems like the last time (years ago) on a different brand regulator I had the unit rebuilt.

Simple fix with O-rings or take it in for rebuild?

Sorry I can't be of more help.
I had EXACTLY! the same problem with the SAME regulator! :shock:
I just took mine to where I got my gas and they fixed it.
Sorry..I cannot even remember what they did..but it was cheap..and no big deal.

Found a company just west of my work on McDowell road...  I think it may be the same company I visited decades ago with a bad regulator.

I'll see if I can get over there next week... another doctor appointment for me on monday.  this getting worn out and old is BS  , that and bouncing off a Suburban door does not help
