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?

We had a similar issue with the Norgren regulator we got from FIRST Choice this year - We triple checked that it was plumbed correctly but it would bleed regardless of which side we put the high pressure into. We pulled it and replaced it with another we had in our pneumatics box, and that one worked perfect on the first try. I figured we had damaged the first some somehow (overtightened or something).
