MINI PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS, 1/4" NPT PORTS, ADJUST 7 TO 140 PSI

Was a perfect match for my Ingersoll rand garage mate. Made in Taiwan better than China

For the price is good, not great by good. Has held up so far.

Installed piped compressed air in my workshop and put one of these at each outlet. I control power nailers and small airbrushes. No air leaks, easy to adjust. Best price deal at the time I ordered these. Because the are meant to be small in size, it isn't easy to get the pressure regulated as exactly as I want - but it is a fair trade off for not having big adjusters hanging off the walls.

I have ordered and used two of these for controlling air to pneumatic cylinders. While I have not used them very much, they work well and the big selling point was that the bracket and nut was included, so they can be easily mounted. Most regulators don't have the nuts or brackets available and have no way to mount them. The second nut is to lock the air adjustment. For my use, they will get adjusted, locked, and then likely won't need adjusted again since they will be mounted to machines. If you wanted to adjust it often and be able to lock it, the push or pull to lock style would be better. For the price, these do exactly what I wanted. They are small, have clear and easy to read gauges, and can be mounted, not to mention a good price.

Used this to replace a broken regulator on an air compressor. This one was not the cheapest, but is almost identical to the original manufacturer part (Coleman).5 minutes to install, works fine.Pay close attention to the flow direction, it matters, and is marked on the unit. This one is left to right when looking at the pressure dial.

Love the regulator - - well made, controls pressure great. The only problem was the difficulty determining the air flow direction, as it's not well marked. See the pic I posted.Gauge has a ridiculously thin case, and the needle will seize until you straighten the case back out. They packed a 5-star reg with a 1-star gauge, and either should have supplied a better one or let you supply your own. I replaced mine with "Winters PFQ Series Stainless Steel 304 Dual Scale Liquid Filled Pressure Gauge with Brass Internals, 0-160 psi/kpa 1-1/2" Dial Display, +/-2.5% Accuracy, 1/8" NPT Back Mount" (available from Amazon); now I have a high-quality setup.

Was only able to get it to regulate between 85 down to 80 PSI. Non functional.AMENDED... Works great. I did not see the directional arrow even though I looked for it. It is embossed in the body and when mine was painted it filled in the arrow a little. So I hooked it up backwards. Me Bad.... LOL... After geting the direction right it worked perfectly. As a matter of fact for a mini which is what I have experience with it was very accurate and responsive. Kudos to whoever made this unit.

It is small, inexpensive and it regulates air pressure. What more could you ask for at this price. Thanks to the reviewer that pointed out there is an actual direction arrow on this thing. The arrow is very difficult to see at least with my eyesight. The first time I installed one of these things (it was a Craftsman model) was in the late 1980s. I had since forgotten that a direction was required.
