Re: Pressure Switch Not Working?

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?
As previously stated, it sounds like you have your regulator plumbed incorrectly. Are you 100% certain it is plugged in the right direction?
