I have an 80 gal CH air compressor with two lines connected to it. One line is connected to an oiler, filter, and pressure regulator, for running tools, etc. The second line is connected to a filter, desiccant, and a pressure regulator, for sand blasting. Three weeks ago, I connected the sand blasting line to the tank and I heard air coming out of the top of the pressure regulator for this line. I adjusted the regulator fully closed and then fully open and the air leak would not stop. I took it apart, but finally went to home depot and got a cheap replacement. It did the same thing when I connected it. I finally got a good one from CH, and it will only work at 100psi or more. If I adjust it lower than that, air will start to leak out the top again.
The only thing I can figure is that this started after the weather started getting cold (below 30). But my other regulator is over 3 years old and still going strong. Anyone got any ideas??
Thanks!
