Re: Pressure Switch Not Working?

We have that. We can see our high pressure gauge increase along with the gauge on the regulator. The problem is that when the pressure gets to 60psi, the regulator lets air out so the upstream side can't get any more pressure than 60psi.

For testing, we used the adjustable regulator with the yellow ring in place of the Norgren. I know this is illegal according to the rules, but I wanted to prove the concept. Since the yellow regulator doesn't bleed, we were able to get up to 115psi on the high side and 60psi on the low side.

How can you get more than 60psi on the high side if the regulator bleeds at 60psi?
