Tank/Regulator Separation

Quick question, when removing my tank from my ASA the tank began to unscrew from its regulator. After carefully removing the reg/tank from the ASA I basically tightened the reg as tight as possible back into the tank by hand. Should I be concerned by this? Would anyone recommend a specific method of re-tightening the reg to the tank (tools? rehydro center?). Thanks in advance for your input!

Drain the tank, take off the reg and then put some loctite on the threading then screw it back in preferably with a crecent/pipe wrench as well as a strap wrench to hold it in place. Hope this helps

will do, thanks!

I don't know if I'd go that extreme. Definately use some loctite (maybe blue) and put it on tight, but make sure that you'll be able to get it back off if you need too;)
