pressure regulator sphere

Post by casperdog2 »

Have a look here!
Pressure reg and accumulator are a different thing, the sphere fit on the accumulator.

Dave, surely the sphere is the accumulator and it screws onto the regulator?

Indeed, the sphere is refered to as an accumulator sphere, and the pressure regulator is what it screws onto. Some people call the sphere a regulator sphere, unfortunately some listings also refer to the hydractive centre spheres as "regulator spheres" or "suspension regulator spheres" which IMHO is misleading, but to make sure they aren't confused, its good practice to always call it the "accumulator sphere"...
