I did not want to spend $80 for an Iwata brand regulator/water separator, so I thought I would try this one. Using the included thread sealing tape, I installed the included pressure gauge and the two 1/4 inch NPT nipples. I hooked up my hose lines and attached it to the air compressor. So far the regulator is working great. It holds a nice steady pressure while I airbrush. I have tested it as low as 10 psi up to 35 psi for airbrushing, no issues. I left the airbrush connected overnight with a full air tank and I returned in the morning with only a couple of pounds lost. That is pretty darn good considering all the connectors/adapters I used.I had planed to use the regulator with my Iwata airbrush holder/spray out jar, but I would have to made a custom mounting bracket. Instead, I just mounted 4 Neodymium to the existing bracket. One drop of super glue per magnet and glue the magnets on the mounting bracket. Now I can stick the regulator on my Iwata airbrush holder or anywhere else I want (al long as it is metal). One little note, I used 4 magnets. I think that was too many. It sticks "too good" and I really have to tug to get it off. But on the other hand, there is no way that regulator is going to fall down.Someone asked me how I laid out my air hoses - so here is the answer. It all started because I own a Ryobi 18v battery operated air compressor. It is not too loud, has a 1 gallon tank, is pretty small, uses an 18 volt one+ battery (which I have several of), each battery last for about 7 hours of constant airbrush work, lets me be mobile (no 110v electric outlet needed) and was only $99. Plus, I use the compressor for lots of other jobs around the house.The Ryobi compressor comes with a standard quick disconnect installed (Type 15 Industrial Interchange - the normal type everyone uses). So I wanted to be able to use the Industrial Interchange quick disconnect to attach my air brush with . Since I had two Iwata hoses already (1/4 NPT on one end and 1/8 BSP on the other) I decided to just use them. The braided hose 1/4 NPT female was mated with an Inustrial Interchange quick disconnect with male threads (no thread sealant needed since the hose has an o-ring seal. The other end, the female 1/8 BSP is connected to an Iwata quick disconnect. The regulator inlet has the 1/4 NPT double male (included with the regulator) installed. On that is a 1/4 NPT to Badger airbrush male adapter (since I had it handy). Then I put a Badger quick disconnect male plug on. On the outlet side is the included 1/4 NPT double male. I attached the standard Iwata airhose to it. All done. By the way, since I used the Airbrush quick disconnect on the tank side of the regulator, I can disconnect the hose or the regulator and it automatically seals off the air flow.I hope this review helps you out. -Steve

Good product for my airbrush compressor. Light, small and works great. I would prefer a more accurate pressure gage, but not dissatisfied with the one that came with the kit. I really like the quick disconnect and fittings that came with the regulator.

Working on a house and bought a little pancake compressor for while I replace the roof. It has a regulator but it constantly vents excess pressure... That means that if you leave it plugged in and turned on it will cycle like every 5 minutes even if you are taking a break. This made it so I can just crank the built in regulator to the max and not have it constantly dumping the tank out which actually saves me money in the long run. I have a small pony tank after the regulator to help even out the pulses and supply enough air to the tool that I do not have any issues. You can run a tool direct off this regulator but it does take a second for the pressure to build back up so a small tank in line after this will help if you need more airflow or have a high CFM tool.The dryer part is also nice as I will have less moisture going through to the tool. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a little higher airflow rate and an oiler as well.

Arrived quickly and undamaged. Works as described and came with everything I needed to install for my application. I did have a problem with the Gauge-There is no visible damage to gauge but it leaked from inside the gauge. I removed it and used the old gauge from my old defective regulator and fixed the problem. If I had not had the extra gauge I would have had to send back the unit and delay the repair. Everything considered it was such a fair price I would purchase again. It would have got 5 stars in place of the 4 star review.

Excellent regulator that works perfect for air assist upgrade for Co2 laser. I was able to install it inside the machine, running a drain line, and remotely connecting the gauge. Has been working perfect for 100 hours or so already.

The price was good and the quality was actually pretty good. Some of the reviews caused a bit of concern, but as with a lot of the negative reviews on Amazon, the product is fine, but the buyers are not sure of the actually purpose of the product or they are confused as to the actually use of the product, all in all people need to make sure the product they buy is intended to function in their desired use, a lot of negative reviews are frustrated people that bought something that was never designed to do what they want it to, and other negative reviews are people that do not understand the mechanics of what they are trying to accomplish and purchase items that will NOT perform in the situation or application they are buying it for. My 2 Cents ask before you buy there are some really good people on here that will help you out.

This is the 2nd one of these I've bought for shop equipment, first on my co2 laser and this one for the k/08 pneumatic shaker for my Harbor Freight Media Blast Cabinet. I needed to be able to control the rpm of the shaker and this is the best way to control it. Includes plenty of fittings, you can flip flop the gauge to the front or back and allows for easy positioning. Very good units for the price.

Cheap junk do not buy stay away. One of my. Regulator/separators has a leaky valve and I can’t get any customer support on replacement of either the valve or the whole unit. I spoke with Amazon directly and they assured me I would receive a new one which it’s been two weeks now, and I still have not received it nor do I see an order for one. I installed the complete new 100 foot airline system in my shop and I cannot take this out of the system to even return it. This is why I requested a replacement and then I would return it but no the conversation obviously went in one ear and out the other of the Amazon employee.

I've tried a few of these, and this is the first affordable pressure regulator that doesn't spew air out at high CFM. In fact, appears not leak at all! I am * thrilled *. The only detectable hiss so far appears to originate at one of the connectors, *not the regulator* (should be fixable with a wrench). This shipped with everything except wall screws. Came with: Regulator, o-150psi gauge dial, wall bracket, 2x 1/4 npt brass double ended attachments/adaptors, and even plumbers tape (admittedly the cheap stuff, but wrap enough layers and it'll - work fine).

Le produit est exactement comme décrit. Il fonctionne très bien.

Not what I was expecting.

Air leaks at the knob area...
