There are 3 simple steps to make sure your air line installation is providing the right pressure and that your accessories selection is correct, so you can ultimately work productively. It does not take long and it is something you can easily do yourself using our self-diagnostic checklist.
In the air tool installation, most of the pressure drops occur between the pipe-end and the tool
There are various points to inspect, the main ones being: at the tool inlet, the couplings/nipples and hose connections, as well as the FRL. To avoid pressure drops you want to make sure that:
Once you are confident that all accessories have been selected & installed correctly, measure once more the dynamic pressure at the tool’s inlet. You can then adjust accordingly the FRL regulator to ensure you get a reading of 90 psi / 6.3 bars at the tool inlet.
When it comes to air pressure, higher isn’t always better!
