That is not a regulator, it is a flow restricter, a peice of pipe with a very small hole in it.

A "regulator" has a moveable spring loaded diaphram that can vary the size of the hole according to pressure and flow. Like the watts.

Good store. Watts N55 is the smallest one I would use.

If the gauge is the first thing to freeze (I'll take your word for it - I don't leave mine attached), the diaphragm inside the regulator must be the second thing to freeze. I learned that the hard way, too. There were no signs of damage on the outside, just full line pressure the next time I attached the gauge.
