Regulator Pressure
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 13, 2005 9:34 PM
Quick question. If you wanted to set the pressure to say 20psi, would you want the dial to read 20 when the AB was idle, or would you want it to read 20 while its in use?

People do it both ways. It's only a reference, and it doesn't really matter as long as you do it the same way all the time. Personally I set the pressure with air flowing but that's just personal preference.

I'm the same as Scott, I hold the trigger down on the a/b then set the pressure with the other hand because. I do it this way because I want to know exactly what psi is the paint being pushed out at. But like the man said it's just a matter of personal preference.

I do it static but as Scott says it doesn't really matter as it is just a reference point.

I forgot to mention that regardless of which way you go keep in mind that no two pressure gauges read exactly the same thing unless you get into the expensive gauges. Just use it as a reference so you can get back to the same point again.
