    About Air Compressors
    industrial info icon

    Choose air compressors with the right pressure and airflow rates to power your tools.

    Fire Sprinkler Electric Air Compressors

    Maintain air pressure in your sprinkler system. These piston air compressors turn on when their tank pressure drops to the actuation point, then turn off when it reaches the maximum. They are UL and C-UL listed, as well as CSA and CSA-US certified, so they meet U.S. and Canadian safety standards.

    Easy-Set Compressed Air Regulators

    A pressure-calibrated dial on these regulators allows for easy adjustments to outlet pressure in high-flow applications. They are relieving regulators, so they exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Install them in your air line after filters.

    To protect against damage in air lines, air receivers, compressor tanks, and other air-powered equipment, these valves spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. All meet ASME Code Section VIII for use with air and inert gas pressure vessels. They have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.
    Silicone Seal—Silicone seals provide better leak protection than brass seals.

    Multiple Regulators

    Shown Installed

    (Manifold Sold

    Separately)

    Mount these miniature regulators on a manifold (sold separately) to create a regulating manifold. Each regulator can be set to a different output pressure, so you can power multiple tools or machines with a single air supply. All are relieving regulators, so they exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Install them in your air line after filters.

    Panel-Mount Nut—Regulators with a panel-mount nut can be installed through a hole in a panel or enclosure. They let you hide your air lines without losing access to the control knob.

    Precision Compressed Air Regulators

    Use these regulators in sensitive applications that require constant, consistent pressure for precise force and movement. They’re often used on calibration stands in laboratories or with air-powered clamps that hold delicate items. All are relieving regulators, so they exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Install them in your air line after filters.

    Accuracy

    BSPP Inlet Thread—BSPP threads are also known as G threads.
    ±0.1% Regulating Accuracy—Regulators with a ±0.1% accuracy have a sensor and a servo-adjustment mechanism that work together to monitor pressure and instantly adapt to input pressure changes—even when conditions change. They have a locking nut to prevent accidental pressure changes.
    Mounting Brackets—Mounting brackets (sold separately) let you attach the regulator to a wall or equipment.
