PneumaticPlus PPR3-N02BG Compressed Air Pressure Regulator 1/4" NPT (High Flow), Embedded Gauge & Bracket

I needed an air pressure regulator that would could output 3-5 psi consistently in order to operate a laser cutter that requires extremely low air pressure at times. Initially I had a hard time finding a suitable regulator, but then came across this one. It has worked perfectly. The installation took a few extra minutes, because you have to attach the bracket to the wall, then attach the regulator to the bracket, but the process wasn't too bad. I have a larger regulator / air cleaner upstream that reduces 100 psi to about 30 psi, then it branches into this regulator to output 3-5 psi. Overall working great and I feel confident that my laser cutter is getting the appropriate air pressure.

Nice and compact for my air throttle setup on my motorhome.

Bought this to improve air control on my airbrushes. Sometimes I need to use very low air pressures. The regulator on my compressor was impossible to adjust below 10psi with any repeatability. I bought the 3 to 30psi version and put it downstream from the air compressor regulator. I located it so it is at hand while I'm painting. It works beautifully at ultra-low pressures with my .2mm detail airbrush. If you are getting one to use for this purpose be advised that you may have a problem finding the correct adapter. I needed to adapt the 1/4" female NPT on the regulator to the 1/8" BSP thread used by Iwata and many other airbrushes. So, I needed a 1/4" NPT male x 1/8" BSP male adapter. After searching the internet for 2 hr. I decided no one makes such an adapter. I ordered some 1/4" BSP male x 1/8" BSP male adapters. The 1/4" BSP threads are close enough you can get about 3 threads engagement into the regulator and maybe get it to seal with a lot of teflon tape. I decided to chase the threads on the adapter with a 1/4" NPT die. I was able to get full thread engagement but it still took several wraps of teflon tape to get a good seal. Installing this in my system was a PITA but well worth the effort.

Great for low pressure adjustments. Works great

I bought this to use with my pressure gauge calibration set-up for calibrating the gauges at a brewery. My old regulator "drifted" far too much, making it very hard to calibrate a gauge. This one works quite well and is stable once you get it to a desired pressure. Ports are the right sizes and locations for my use. This is a relieving gauge, so if I overshoot my desired pressure it's just a matter of backing off a bit. In the photo, the digital calibration gauge is to the right, gauge being calibrated left, on the regulator, and air in far left.

Only on day 2 but this mini regulator is exactly what I needed for my powder coat system. It is small and light enough that it is mounted directly to the gun. Being able to find tune the psi is fantastic!

Returned a NANPA regulator because it didn't fit the fittings it was made for. Get this one instead of the NANPA or any of those that look just like it. This is nicely made, it's easy to turn the gage upside down if you want, or even put it on the other side (to make the flow from right to left). It's made in Korea, not China.

Only small pressure reducer I could find that could handle 0-30 psi reduction with good accuracy. Needed it for a smoke machine that didn’t have an internal pump and required 2 psi.

Easy to install quick delivery great price.

I’m not sure if I should return this, I just need the gauge

holds really tight regulation

I think its lowest operating pressure is around 7psi so pretty standard compared to other regulators.

It is working well. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the pressure gage readings are a bit small and a bit hard to read. But not a deal-breaker.
