Re: pressure problems

If your system is getting to 105-110 psi and shutting of, this is normal. The pressure switch is not a precision device. If the compressor never shuts off, then you likely have a leak. On occassion, the vent valve is damaged in manufacture. Try plugging the output of the valve and try again. If you would like, PM me (phone number or email) and I can try to talk you in or come over and help diagnose. Just let me know.
