Al,

If you read the data sheet for this regulator found here ( http://cdn.norgren.com/pdf/Mini_Gene...R07,%20R46.pdf ) It states...

Adjustment Ranges* Substitute
1 to 10 psig (0.1 to 0.7 bar) A
5 to 50 psig (0.3 to 3.5 bar) E
5 to 100 psig (0.3 to 7 bar) K
5 to 125 psig (0.3 to 8.6 bar) L


It also states at the bottom of the first page...

* Outlet pressure can be adjusted to pressures in excess of, and less than, those specified.
Do not use these units to control pressures outside of the specified ranges.


In practice, we all know this regulator works just fine for FRC applications, along with many other suitable regulators as well, but according to this, we really should be recommending R07-100-RNKA. Thats probably a big part of why teams have a hard time keeping that particular regulator set to exactly 60psi.
