Tailonz Pneumatic 1/4 Inch NPT Air Filter Pressure Regulator, Water-Trap Air Tool Compressor Filter with Gauge AW2000-02

Arrived quickly and undamaged. Works as described and came with everything I needed to install for my application. I did have a problem with the Gauge-There is no visible damage to gauge but it leaked from inside the gauge. I removed it and used the old gauge from my old defective regulator and fixed the problem. If I had not had the extra gauge I would have had to send back the unit and delay the repair. Everything considered it was such a fair price I would purchase again. It would have got 5 stars in place of the 4 star review.

I did not want to spend $80 for an Iwata brand regulator/water separator, so I thought I would try this one. Using the included thread sealing tape, I installed the included pressure gauge and the two 1/4 inch NPT nipples. I hooked up my hose lines and attached it to the air compressor. So far the regulator is working great. It holds a nice steady pressure while I airbrush. I have tested it as low as 10 psi up to 35 psi for airbrushing, no issues. I left the airbrush connected overnight with a full air tank and I returned in the morning with only a couple of pounds lost. That is pretty darn good considering all the connectors/adapters I used.I had planed to use the regulator with my Iwata airbrush holder/spray out jar, but I would have to made a custom mounting bracket. Instead, I just mounted 4 Neodymium to the existing bracket. One drop of super glue per magnet and glue the magnets on the mounting bracket. Now I can stick the regulator on my Iwata airbrush holder or anywhere else I want (al long as it is metal). One little note, I used 4 magnets. I think that was too many. It sticks "too good" and I really have to tug to get it off. But on the other hand, there is no way that regulator is going to fall down.Someone asked me how I laid out my air hoses - so here is the answer. It all started because I own a Ryobi 18v battery operated air compressor. It is not too loud, has a 1 gallon tank, is pretty small, uses an 18 volt one+ battery (which I have several of), each battery last for about 7 hours of constant airbrush work, lets me be mobile (no 110v electric outlet needed) and was only $99. Plus, I use the compressor for lots of other jobs around the house.The Ryobi compressor comes with a standard quick disconnect installed (Type 15 Industrial Interchange - the normal type everyone uses). So I wanted to be able to use the Industrial Interchange quick disconnect to attach my air brush with . Since I had two Iwata hoses already (1/4 NPT on one end and 1/8 BSP on the other) I decided to just use them. The braided hose 1/4 NPT female was mated with an Inustrial Interchange quick disconnect with male threads (no thread sealant needed since the hose has an o-ring seal. The other end, the female 1/8 BSP is connected to an Iwata quick disconnect. The regulator inlet has the 1/4 NPT double male (included with the regulator) installed. On that is a 1/4 NPT to Badger airbrush male adapter (since I had it handy). Then I put a Badger quick disconnect male plug on. On the outlet side is the included 1/4 NPT double male. I attached the standard Iwata airhose to it. All done. By the way, since I used the Airbrush quick disconnect on the tank side of the regulator, I can disconnect the hose or the regulator and it automatically seals off the air flow.I hope this review helps you out. -Steve

Fit great when complete and easy to regulate.

Everything was included to set up the regular.

I bought this to add on to my small pancake compressor. The compressor already has it's own outgoing pressure regulator so this serves as a backup should something go wrong with it. I connected it between the outgoing pressure port and the air hose to capture any moisture and impurities that would otherwise find their way to my air tools. The instructions that come with the regulator are typical poorly translated from Chinese. They don't tell how to assemble it but it was easy to figure out that the air gauge goes in the middle and the male adapters on the ends using the included pipe threading tape. From there you must determine (and purchase separately) what fittings to use. I used a quick connect male adapter on one end to connect to my compressor port and a quick connect female adapter on the other to attach the air hose. I turned on the compressor and set it's gauge for 90lbs to use a roofing nailer. I then slowly increased the pressure knob on the regulator until it reached the same pressure. Everything appeared to work well and there were no leaks. Since I was using the nailer intermittently, there was no water in the moisture cup. I'm guessing though, it would trap more moisture during a higher volume of air release which would cause more condensation to form. Please note, this regulator does not appear to be designed for rigorous or professional use but it is a good value for the casual user.
