Required to charge some hydraulic accumulators up to 500psi on heavy equipment. Although setting it above 450 gets a little painful, I couldn't handle it. Worked very well and smoothly at low pressure. Over 525 not tested. So far I am satisfied and will buy again. I won't mention the brand but last year I bought another cheap version of this regulator which is very common on this site. Complete garbage. If you argue, take it.
