Review on NANPU Compressed Air Filter Regulator Combo: Brass Element, Semi-Auto Drain, 0-150 Psi Gauge, And More by Dany Meadows

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Its not horrible but it has issues

Yes, it has issues. First off, the Instructions. They are awful so just throw them away. The mounting bracket is weak and rather flimsy for a regulator this size. The mounting nut is plastic so dont reef down on this thing or you may regret it. Snug and a bump is about all you can get before you possibly damage it. The auto drain hose is 3/8 inch OD push lock so be ready for that if you dont want it to spit all over the place. Now for the big one in my book, the gauge leaks. I tried teflon tape, paste, just about everything. You really cant get a wrench on this thing out of the box so its hand tightened which will eventually stop leaking but at the cost of OCD. TDC of the gauge will be WAY off kilter. I put on a 1/4" NPT extension so I could properly use the wrench flats to tighten it down. Too late, its leaking internally now so if you get this, use a NPT coupler to get a proper wrench on it or spend another 9 bucks on a new gauge.For the price, its "okay". It comes VERY WELL packed, worthless instructions, wimpy mounting hardware and the gauge is weak. Meh.I'll make it work.

Pros
  • The quick-release bowl design allows for easy removal and cleaning of the filter element
Cons
  • The unit is prone to vibrational damage if not secured properly
