I know
Do you know if the filtering works just as good if I have the whole assembly sideways? I mean, what if I strap it flat down to the desk? The drainer won't work in that position, of course. I just want filtering with no leaks. I intend for it to be a remote regulator away from the compressor/tank. I can put a valve to cut off tank pressure to it, and drain it by removing the whole clear cup.

I have. Its leak isn't around the external parts of the drain. The leak is in that internal center plug.

It is not designed to attach anything to it. You drain it with pressure from the air tank through that drain on the bottom of the regulator. |

I guess some people just attach a vinyl pipe to it to aim it into something for draining. I've seen pics where there is a black line coming off these drains. I guess that's all it is.
I'll give it some time & see how it goes. If the tank isn't losing pressure all the time, I'll stop worrying about it.
I am getting the full, adjustable range of airbrushing psi though, according to the gauge. That seems to mean that it's all set.
