Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this air regulator come with a pressure gauge? A: No, the pressure gauge is sold separately to allow you to choose the appropriate gauge range and style for your specific application needs. The dual 1/4" NPT ports accept standard pneumatic gauges, giving you flexibility to select pressure ranges that match your system requirements and monitoring preferences.

The dual 1/4" NPT ports accept standard pneumatic gauges, giving you flexibility to select pressure ranges that match your system requirements and monitoring preferences.

Q: What size air compressor do I need for this regulator? A: This regulator handles up to 250 SCFM flow capacity, so you'll need an air compressor rated for at least that output. Most 7.5 HP or larger stationary compressors can supply adequate airflow, though smaller portable units may work for lighter-duty applications with reduced flow requirements.

Q: How does this compare to smaller 1/2" NPT air regulators? A: The 1" NPT connection provides significantly higher flow capacity than 1/2" regulators. While standard 1/2" units typically max out around 100-150 SCFM, this model delivers 250 SCFM with minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for high-demand pneumatic tools and multiple-station setups.

Q: Can I use both gauge ports as air supply outlets? A: Yes, the offset 1/4" NPT ports can function as supply lines instead of gauge connections, giving you flexibility to create multiple air distribution points from one regulator. This feature is particularly useful for workbenches or production lines where you need to supply air to multiple tools simultaneously.
