I keep the Oiler in good working order and use it to spray. Every time I use the tool, I add a couple of drops of oil.
Yes, I did, but it leaks, so don't buy it.br>
That depends on the type and size of the tool, as well as the size of the compressor and tank.
Teflon tape was used to seal the pipe threads.

Pros: br>The housing is made of metal. The unit has a built-in wall mount. br>For use at home, a small profile.
Cons: br>My existing metal fittings were incompatible with the plastic fitting. br>It is suggested that you: br>If you have extra metal fittings, use them instead of the plastic ones included. If you don't have extra metal fittings, don't bother. br>If you don't already have them, I would also recommend purchasing the metal fittings.
I got everything hooked up only to discover that if you set it to anything less than 105psi, it leaks air around the knob every time you start your compressor until you turn it all the way up, then turn it down to the desired pressure. It's inconvenient to have to do this every time I turn on my compressor. I know I'm not overworking my compressor because its maximum pressure is only 130 psi. The two fittings are inexpensive, but they do not fit standard 1/2 npt fittings. Plastic is used for the quick connect. This device is a waste of time. obtain a more suitable.
So far, everything seems to be working fine. There are three things to keep in mind. There are no instructions in the box, and I gave up after searching the internet for 15 minutes. I installed it with the help of my mechanical skills. The fittings are 3/8 inch, but I only have 1/4 inch air fittings at home. There will be a need for a reducer bushing. I removed the ones I was replacing from my water trap. Keep the air input fittings if you're getting rid of old air tools. Reducers are the most common. Oil is, of course, required by the oiler. Of course, this must be purchased separately, but it is necessary for the installation to be complete.
This product appeared to do a good job of removing water from the system, so I bought it. It does. The clear separator receives a large amount of water. It's a little strange how the drain valve works. I couldn't get it to seal the first time I tried. I had to let the system depressurize and sit overnight twice, but it worked fine after that. I didn't use the Oiler, but it appears to be well made and separates easily from the filter. The price is also unbeatable. I ended up removing my old gauge and replacing it with this one, and it works perfectly; it's great to finally have dry air without any leaks!.
This is the best regulator I've ever used; it's precise, maintains pressure, and hasn't let me down yet in terms of leaks. This regulator has made a big impression on me. I had to reverse the filter and dryer during the installation to accommodate the piping in my garage, which was a very simple process. The only disadvantage I've noticed is that the dial is extremely small, which can be difficult to read in low light for someone with bad eyes. Overall, this regulator has exceeded my expectations.
I inadvertently ordered this one because I was looking for another product from this manufacturer with a slightly different design. However, thanks to previous reviews, I was able to set it up in a short amount of time. It does not come with instructions, and you should use your own metal NPT fittings instead of the plastic ones that come with it, as previous reviewers suggested. The 1/4" version is what I ordered. On the line where I installed it, I set the regulator to 90 PSI. "0" is the default value. I filled the lubrication bowl but haven't used it yet; however, I plan to do so this weekend with my various air tools.
br>br>It's hooked up to my standby compressor, which is always on and charged to 150 psi 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So far, it's done what it's supposed to do, and I'm happy with it. br>br>I've bought many other brands of this type of item and been disappointed by them all. Hopefully, this one will last, as it appears to be of sturdy construction and is simple to adjust.
Very small and compact, it fits in the palm of your hand and is a great example of a disposable tool. br>br>The constant leak didn't start until the pressure was adjusted. The stem of the regulator valve is where the leak begins. Not enough to make the compressor run all the time, but a 2-percentage-point loss is enough to make the compressor run all the time. 3 gallons per hour, not to mention the annoyance of compressed air leaking. This unit is now an unused "spare/backup" collecting dust due to the time between ordering, installation, and discovering the flaw, and any "savings" were lost when a quality replacement was needed.
