[AT] Tractor shop question

[Spencer Yost]

I have a tractor shop question. I put a new air pressure regulator on my air compressor, and it continually bleeds air . It's sort of like when you dial the pressure down and it has to bleed  air on the output side to bring the pressure down? Well it does this all the time. Is there such a thing as a continual bleed regulator? If so that seems like a really dumb idea.

Otherwise it acts perfectly. It keeps the pressure exactly right and steady, and if I dial the pressure all the way down to zero it does shut the air supply completely off.


Of course I may have a defective regulator. And of course I just recycled the box and instructions.  I bought it about a year ago and just now getting around to installing it so I have no receipt nor am I even 100% sure where I got it.  All I remember is it was on sale (-;
