Ingersoll Rand Air Line Regulator, 1/2in., 215 CFM, 250 PSI, Model# R37341600VS

I have my Ingersoll Rand Compressor in my basement. With an Ingersoll Rand inline filter,regulator and oiler. I have it set at 100PSI. Well I ran a line out to my garage and certain times I need to reduce the air pressure so I added one of these. This regulator can be reversed. The air only travels through in one direction. The air guage can be reversed to the opposite side.

I've been using these regulators for two years on my 7.5 Emax 2-stage compressor lines at my service exits to hoses. I protected them with a coalescing filter in the main line. I also unscrew the knob for zero pressure when a regulator isn't being used. The knobs lock with an inward push, but I never bother using that feature. They all perform flawlessly. By using the adjustable color bands on the pressure gauge, I can quickly set my pressures for the different tools I use. The gauge covers unscrew for this adjustment. You do have to turn the pressure knobs quite a bit to set pressures, but it's not difficult. The valves also self reduce output pressures when you use them to reduce a pressure setting. I use a pressure relief type ball valve to relieve pressure on my lines to the regulators, when my compressor is not in use. Line pressure should always be removed when not in use - and restored slowly for use. I also use the RapidAir 3/4" lines sold here. I've never had a leak or any problem with any of these 1/2" regulator valves.
