hooking up a pressure gauge on my badger cyclone

How is the gauge connected- a T-fitting?  If so that shouldn't affect flow through the airbrush.

gettin back in the game

im tryin to hook up a pressure gauge on my badger cyclone diaphram compressure. it fits but air rushes through the airbrush even when im not pushing on the air and paint trigger. im using a iwata eclipse if that helps. and the pressure nob on the regulater dosent work ether. help would be great. thanks

Was the Iwata airbrush working properly before you tried to hook up the pressure gage? Make sure that everything works before adding new equipment.

Did you follow the hookup instruction to the letter? A picture of your setup will help understand your problem better.

If air passes through the airbrush without pushing the trigger, it sounds like the airbrush was not tightened or, if a well used one, damaged.
