Re: Pneumatic Pressure Switch

Quote:
Even though there are no accumulators, pressure builds up in the tubing on the high side of the pressure regulator. Without the switch, the pressure relief valve is the only component stopping the system from a high pressure failure.

You need to have the pressure switch installed.

Thanks for the information.

The pressure will never get high due to the fact it is a open system. we will never get to the 60 psi. we are using the compessor for only blowing the air never to store it. once the compessor is shut off there is 0 pessure in the lines.
