These caps are easily adjustable. There are two o-rings that can wear out,
but they're cheap. To adjust, loosen the locknut, then rotate the lower threaded
disc to loosen or tighten down the large O-ring. Proper adjustment is
achieved when the cap is locked down and cannot be rotated by hand. I use a quarter
stuck in the slot on top, and adjust until I cannot rotate. This seems to
work....Don't forget to tighten the locknut after this process...
