The air pressure regulators on my compressor appear to have a bit of a problem.
The main one reduces the tank pressure down to whatever its set for into a manifold where I can take of at that pressure.
The other end of the manifold has another regulator that I want to set for an even lower pressure for my powder coating gun.
The problem I have is that both regulators slowly bleed pressure into the line so that when the trigger is pulled there is a blast of over pressure before it settles down to the set pressure.
I've never really worried about this before as it didnt cause any problems but now I want to powdercoat its essential (in my opinion) that the air supply remains at a low pressure without climbing.
To have both regs do this makes me question whether this is normal.
If it isnt can anyone recommend a good make of regulator thats accurate and wont let the pressure climb when the trigger is closed on the gun.
