Will this work OK on a 150PSI compressor? I am OK with the gauge only going to 140PSI.

This regulator and gage is designed to work at lower pressures, like a paint gun that works in the 28 to 30 psi range. It is ok if you hook it up on the inlet side to 150 psi, but you usually have the regulator set for 30-50 psi outlet.

It should work , but the compressor does exceed the regulators pressure. I would contact the company first due to the 10 psi difference for safety.

My compressor is a 5hp 80 gallon putting out 155psi and this regulator has handled that with no problems.I could not find out the max input before I bought mine either, and had to put the pressure to it and see what happened.It has been almost a year since I started using mine and I have regulated as low as 9lbs for powder coat.The gauge goes to 160.It's a pretty big well built unit that will take you by surprise when you take it out of the box.

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

I would think if you needed to run a drill at this pressure to provide required performance, you should be looking at a 1/2" or electric. At every plant I've worked in, house air usually runs ~90psi (at tool). Higher pressures regulated at the compressor may be needed to facilitate working pressure (to the tool), normally due to plumbing long runs, leaking or too restrictive piping/connections. But running any 3/8" hand drill at 140-150psi is going to dramatically reduce the life of the product.

I have 0/1 gauge so I'm using a 300a. If I were you I'd go with a 150a-200a.

This will handle 150 psi. That's the max pressure on my air compressor and I haven't had any issues. If there were to be any issues with pressure, the hose would probably burst before this would break.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

I haven't checked the gauge myself. The fuse itself is much smaller wire, so it will blow before the cable has a problem. The most current pulled is when the compressor starts up, which is only a brief time, and the cable is air cooled, so it doesn't have to be de-rated. I've used my compressor for many years with no problems.

The gauge reads up to 160 psi but the label on the side states that the maximum working pressure is 120 psi. I have used it on bike tires for 100 psi but use it mostly on car tires. It can overheat and shutdown if doing tires one after another but if I let it run not connected to a tire for a couple of minutes, it seems to cool it down enough to keep from overheating.

As stated in the description, it's 0 to 60psi. You'll damage the gauge using over that.

The instructions really just tell you how to properly hook up the unit. They give no maximum stop pressure. The gauge goes up to 150 psi. Seeing that another responder has gone up to 145 psi, your need of 120 psi should not be an issue.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure.FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

I believe its 120 psi. There are also some excellent videos on this product on You Tube. One is all about this compressor. I think you might get all of your questions answered from it.

Not sure if it will work with that particular compressor. You could probably check it out locally at most any bicycle shop.

Andrew, the switch is rated at 15 AMP. If the current requirement for your compressor is more than 14 AMP, don't use the switch. But if you don't know the requirement, do this instead: Install a 15 amp circuit breaker in the circuit that you intend to use. If the breaker doesn't trip open, you are good to go with the switch. If it does trip,I wouldn't use it. I hope this helps.

I have no idea of a comparison to the 140 model. I have welded quite a bit of 18 gauge (with .030 wire) with ease and small amounts of thinner materials down to around .030 as I recall. It has been fabulous with everything I have tried. There is still about 25% of the voltage knob to turn down when I am at 18 gauge, and I would expect it would do fine. Sure I paid a bit for it, though I am 100% satisfied and glad I did.

My compressor supports up to 150psi, but the motor always auto-shuts off when it reaches 120psi. To this date, I have had no issues with this ballvalve as it has not leaked any air from the compressor as it held air for months. Hope this helps.
