Air tool pressure reducing regulator for shop

[sirkdev]

I find myself in need of a air pressure reducing station for my various air tools. Compressor is max 160 psi. What do you use?

Do you already have a filter? Easier to get a all in one unit that is a regulator and a filter. I went with this one and it's worked fine Amazon product ASIN B005JHHRXM

Why not turn down your compressor ? Do you need 160 ? If you wanta lower pressure just install a regulator, lots of options, quick dial to adjust accordingly, when i worked in autobody used one for the paint booth

Nice to have volume on hand... I go from air brushing to small sandblaster. Looking for something like Cyle has. I see that amazon also has air reducing couplers kind of like a torque wrench type adjustment. Just seeing what the pros use.

Ya what he posted is good, water catch is good to have. Regulator is pretty basic.

It's amazing how much water collects. In middle of summer I was doing a bunch of plasma cutting and draining water probably every 2-3 times my 60 gallon would kick on. It's worked good for me.

I have a regulator inline close to my bench for the lower PSI tools, the rest of the shop is full 150lbs.
Long air lines if I need low air else where...
