I purchased 2 Hog D1 2nd Stages and a Hog D3 First Stage. One of the 2nd Stages had a slow leak under pressure with the breathing tension set to minimum. When I took over the cover and purge valve of both 2nd Stages there was a clear washer around the edge of the unit that did not leak (see photo). The same washer in he leaking unit was under the diaphragm. After looking at some other regulator diagrams, I moved the washer (not sure if it's called a thrust washer or just a diaphragm washer) on top of the diaphragm like the other regulator and the leak stopped.
This washer does not appear in any of the videos or pictures that I can find on the Hog D1. In the pictures of the parts kit its also not an item. Does anyone know if this a newly added item? Why was it added and when?
