To unlock the knob, pull it outwards. Once unlocked, turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure. You will see the pressure gauge rise as you turn the knob. Keep turning until you achieve the desired pressure level. To decrease the pressure, simply turn the knob counterclockwise.

Our water pressure reducing valves are all DVGW approved, as required for usage with water or drinking water. Additionally, when installed in buildings, water-pressure-reducing-valves should be sound tested. Our pressure regulators come with a high quality stainless steel sieve. When used in domestic water installations, according to DIN 1988 DVGW guideline, a flow rate of 2m/s should not be exceeded. If you need any help setting your pressure regulating valve for drinking water, please contact our staff for free and timely advice, or find all necessary information in our data sheets.

Plug the compressor into an electrical outlet and activate it to start the motor, which will then begin to compress air into the tank.

In cases where your pressure regulator is damaged beyond repair, replacement is always an option. Fortunately, replacing the regulator is not overly expensive, offering a cost-effective solution to maintain your air compressor’s performance.

Before diving into how to adjust an air compressor regulator, it’s crucial to understand what a pressure regulator is and what it does. If it isn’t obvious by the name, a pressure regulator’s role is to regulate and control the air pressure of your compressor.

A common issue is the development of cracks in the pressure regulator, which typically result from the constant pressure exerted through the regulator, causing air leaks. These leaks not only reduce the efficiency of your compressor but can also negatively affect the performance of your air tools.

Adjusting the pressure regulator on an air compressor can be a tricky task, often leading to confusion. Our comprehensive guide walks you through the process in detail, offering clarity and answers to common questions. We aim to cover everything you might need to know about air compressor pressure regulators, including solutions to the most typical issues users encounter.

Our certified quality management according to DIN EN ISO 9001: 2015 is part of our DNA. With our test stands we can carry out pressure tests with up to 350 bar with air and water as well as leak tests according to DIN EN 122661.

We do not adhere to rigid guidelines but instead focus on the individual wishes and needs of our customers. They are more important to us than internal company processes.

Furthermore, infrequent use of your air compressor can cause the regulator to dry out, affecting its performance. To avoid such issues, it’s beneficial to operate your compressor periodically, even during periods of non-use. This practice can significantly prolong the life of the pressure regulator.

Typically, the outlet thread size on an airbrush compressor is 1/8″ BSP (British Standard Pipe). If you need a 1/4″ BSP or another NPT (National Pipe Thread) size for a different air tool, adapters are available to adjust the outlet size accordingly.

Some air compressors, especially the large ones, will come with multiple regulators. They can be adjusted according to individual purposes using different regulators. In contrast, the best airbrush compressors are compact in size and typically feature only one pressure regulator.

To adjust the pressure regulator on your air compressor, first locate the adjustment knob. It’s typically found on the right side of the regulator, but its position can vary depending on the model. The knob often features a locking mechanism to prevent unintentional adjustments.

Once you’ve reached the desired pressure level, push in the knob to lock it in place. This ensures that the pressure remains constant during use.

The pressure regulator consists of three main components: the regulator body, the pressure gauge, and the regulator knob, which can be either simple or T-shaped. Activating the pressure regulator engages the valve inside the regulator body. This mechanism then adjusts the airflow to the air tool by either increasing or decreasing it, while the gauge displays the current air pressure.

Technical and commercial expertise form the basis for developing qualified solutions tailored precisely to the needs of our customers.

Maintaining your air compressor’s pressure regulator is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, just as with the overall upkeep of the air compressor itself. Neglecting maintenance can result in the underperformance or outright failure of pressure regulators.
