Review on ⚙️ Optimized CR1401G Air Regulator with Steel-Protected Gauge, 1/4" NPT by Jon Garcia

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Max pressure at 120psi inch fits air compressor accessories

According to the packaging it regulates the pressure from 0 to 200psi. According to the description, it regulates the pressure up to 160 psi. The reality is that the maximum pressure it will reach is 120psi with my compressor at 175psi regardless of whether my compressor tank is at 175 or 130. I even changed the gauge to a known good gauge that is larger and has the same 120psi maximum pressure. If I had known that, I would not have bought it. By the way, the caliber thread was glued. Thought I could just reconfigure the sensor for my setup. Once you break the clear strong adhesive (NOT regular thread sealant) it cannot be resealed with Teflon tape or thread sealant. I had to use a small extension that seemed to go deeper into the internal threads to prevent leakage. The maximum reading of 120psi was both before and after the extension. Easily adjustable down but no higher than 120.

Pros
  • Power tool parts and accessories
Cons
  • Good but not very good
