Re: Pressure gauge venting

Be careful here. Remember that the maximum working pressure is 60psi! This means you cannot set the main regulator for any pressure higher than that for competition. This is checked during inspection at your event. This happens along with the other pneumatics checks in the inspection including making sure the safety vent does indeed vent and hold the storage pressure at 120psi max.

The regulators that have a yellow ring around their control knob are the 'low pressure' regulators and are only meant to connect to the system after the main regulator, which would mean they would have a maximum of 60psi input pressure.
