Air Compressors (home type)

Yahoo Message Number: 12479
Bill and others:

I have the typical home grade air compressor with a regulator that attempts to go above 120lbs delivery to the hose output. In reality the amount of air volume available is small and only there just after the compressor shuts off. The compressor won't restart until some point way below useful pressure.

I found that on most regulators there are blank plugs on the regulator housing that have tank (Unregulated) pressure at your disposal which develop up to 140 or so PSI making the compressor more usable for our higher PSI and volume needs. The tire pressure must be checked with a gauge anyway and never depend on what the regulator setting indicates.
