Gentec 227C-150 Flow Regulator for Light Duty Applications

Cumple con lo prometido

Good simple regulator, flows somewhere in the range of 20-24 cfm @ 150 psi. Only marginally faster than my 12v air compressor when airing up tires. Not worth it over my 12v compressor. Bought an adjustable 45 cfm @ 250 psi regulator that I’m now using to air up tires, cut air up times in half. Using this non adjustable regulator as a back up. Should have got the adjustable from the start.

I use this as a tire inflator regulator for my DIY "powertank" a simple 20lb CO2 canister from a welding store and a few fittings.It does say "light duty" and I am sure it will wear out quickly, but dollar for dollar having a fixed 150psi regulator that can run air tools, inflate tires and (haven't tested) likely reseat a bead on at least my 32 inch tires. I can deflate my rig (265/75R16, with all four tires hooked up to a hose similar to a morrflate) in under 5 minutes, including set up and tear down. Not too shabby.I can buy six of these before I reach the cost of a power tank regulator for exchange co2 tanks. It will frost upfilling all four tires rapidly and pressure becomes slightly unstable jumping to 205 psi on my testing. So make sure everything you have is safe to 300 psi like I did in the first place and you should be okay. The sketch factor is low enough for me. (not an expert just a redneck with a suggestion. Do not take my advice.)Highly recommended for offroaders.

Pay attention to the dimensions of this product, it was larger than I had anticipated but it didn’t affect my project. Works great, lowers high pressure CO2 (roughly 600-800PSI) down to a constant pressure 150PSI. I used with both a 20 OZ paintball tank and a 15 lbs CO2 tank, I used Teflon tape and was able to secure with no leaks. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Remember these are brass threads so hand tight then a smidge crank with a wrench. The final application I used thread locker glue, not a bit of air has leaked from the threads. Setup: Tank>this product>2nd small regulator>air quick release (female) fitting>air hose. Second regulator allows me to adjust pressure between 0 PSI -150 PSI. Used with brad nailer, pneumatic pistons, air sprayer and all worked well, you CANNOT run anything in an aggressive manner or quick repeatition. Your air flow will diminish as the CO2 freezes throughout the system. Something like an air wrench or painting would be stupid to attempt to use with this product and CO2. Hope this helps make up people’s mind about that product. If you have a big CO2 tank and want to regulate the pressure without buying a beer keg regulator then this is a great buy. It’s beefy and robust, not like some other products I viewed. I will be buying more. I don’t understand why more people are not buying this, it’s a good product for the price.

It was missing the o ring gasket to connect to the c02 tank and the connector to the c02 was threaded into the wrong spot.

Used it for a DIY power tank set up. Airs up my tires in about 30 seconds a piece. Waaaay faster than a compressor and of course nice and quiet. I already had my own co2 tank so it was a huge savings to buy this regulator instead of purchasing a power tank.

As described what I needed

Screwed it to a 10# co2 tank and was able to put 135-140 psi in my bait cannon for some fishing while on vacation . Worked great !
