Uni Euro Grip - FAQ

Can you make the grip for this regulator?

At the moment, we offer the grip for industry-standard regulators. The performance of the Polarstar MR2 and the Wolverine CAT5 is decent, though they do have their quirks. If we find a regulator that meets our checklist, we’ll consider adapting our grip for it.

Do clone MR2 regulators work?

We’ve found that most of them work. It’s important to inspect all components and verify that all seals are good and the components are machined to tolerance. It’s highly recommended to disassemble, remove the factory oil, and regrease them with TechT. There are a few that have been more reliable than actual Polarstar MR2’s due to the more robust Body ID o-ring, but we would still recommend using the real thing. 

Why is my regulator spinning?

Although this happens most commonly with the Polarstar MR2, the CAT5 is also prone to this. Usually, the setscrews haven’t dug into the body of the regulator enough, or they have backed out. 

For the CAT5, tightening the set screws should be sufficient. 

For the Polarstar MR2, it’s recommended to swap the cone-type #4-40 x 3/32” setscrew for cup-type or, even better, knurled cup-type. 

For clone MR2s, it’s recommended to swap the flat-type M3x4 setscrew for cup-type or, even better, knurled cup-type.

If you purchase a clone MR2 from us, we’ve already QC checked, relubed, drilled divots into the regulator body, replaced setscrews, and installed stainless steel thread inserts to mitigate any issues.

It is recommended to avoid bottoming out your tank to prevent the regulators from locking together and to lubricate your tank O-rings with PTFE grease.
