Hromee 1/2 Inch Compressed Filter Regulator Combo, Air Compressor Water Oil Trap Separator with Pressure Gauge, Semi-Auto Drain and Bracket

worked good

When we built our home I installed black pipe throughout connected to a 60 gallon kobalt compressor. Initially I had a ceiling mounted reel at the front between two garage doors. With 10ft ceilings this proved to be borderline useless. As part of a garage cleanup and storage reconfiguration I installed overhead shelving and needed to relocate the reel. Beyond the location, one of the problems has been the amount of condensation produced while using the air supply.This seperator/regulator was installed to mitigate that. So far it seems of good quality. Installation was smooth. With my configuration I did not use the included hanger or the short 1/2 brass nipples. Testing this with a d/a sander produced none of the moisture spit which would previously result from a high cfm use. A success in my book. Ill update the review if anchoring changes with further use.

Looks to be well made. Good price point as it comes with male NPT fittings and Teflon tape. Easy install with a few pipe and adjustable wrenches along with a vice as your 2nd holding hand if your building a manifold. 7 lucky wraps of Teflon tape in a clockwise direction on all your fittings is your friend. Spray with soap/water solution to test for leaks.

I was actually quite impressed with the quality of the regulator and water seperator. For the money it works well, When installed it would not pass any air and I thought it was broken. But after adjusting the pressure control knob I was quickly surprised how the air came up. I had not realized that you can close off all air flow with one of these. It has very good adjustment range and works well and comes with everything you need.

I needed to upgrade my shop with more handling options. I wanted to replace all the old air regulators to something bigger and easier to use. Si I purchased 3 of these units. So far they work quite well for me, were relatively inexpensive but do everything I need them to do! Since I was redoing all the copper air lines, it was easy to plumb them into the existing system, while adding the third drop. They hold pressure as indicated. 70 PSI in my shop so far so good!!
