Title: Air Regulator
Post by: Karl Brenneman on September 20, 2013, 07:13:07 pm
I have replaced the AR20-N02-Z regulator about every 18 months it starts leaking around the control valve steam. This regulator controls the air presser to the front air bags it should be set at 60# It works well for about 18 months then starts to leak.
Any ideas? 
Cheers Karl

How about trying one of these. I believe I replaced mine with:
Husky 1/4 in. Black Air-Compressor Regulator with Gauge-HDA70900AV at The Home (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-Black-Air-Compressor-Regulator-with-Gauge-HDA70900AV/100082550#.UjzXjry1KMc)

Thank You for the advice. Have you been able to get a longer life then 18 months with the regulators that you suggested? Have you found any thing that would make the seal in the regulator to start leaking? I now keep one new regulator on the shelf for replacement.
Thanks again Barry              Cheers  Karl
