      I hope I won't need a new one John. It works fine above 15psi. If the new regulator doesn't cure the problem I might try an inline regulator.

        I must admit that’s how I run my Iwatta. Set at full delivery pressure and stepped down at the airbrush stand by a second PRV. It means I can keep the compressor under the bench and just have to switch it on and off at the start and end of a session. All the fiddling to set pressure can then happen straight from my chair when I’m working….

          Interesting. I'm the same as Tim. The compressor is under the bench and set at 25 psi. I have a MAC valve on the airbrush which I use to reduce the pressure to what I need.

            I might think about a MAC valve Jim. I hardly ever change my pressure setting though.
