                        Checked and everything looks fine.

                        Don't know why alert took two weeks plus to get here.

                        I do know I do not have time to fool with it.

                        Thank you Don.

                        We will figure it out.

                        Diaphragm compressors don't like running into a blocked output.  A regulator is not going to prevent that.  Your compressor connection is probably either 1/8 or 1/4 inch.

                        Asking about one that is basically like a Badger 80-2 or Thompson compressor.

                        Badger 250 airbrush manual says to drill a hole in the thread adapter when using it with

                        a 'non tank mounted diaphragm compressor'.

                        Will a Harbor freight regulator provide the same 'pop-off' valve pressure relief?

                        Here are links to regulator and Badger 80-2 google search.

                        What pipe size is that on the compressor?
