Easy fix, works great
Old regulator had bad seals and would not build pressure. installed this new regulator. installation was very easy needed just 2 hex keys and new thread tape and back in business in about 15 minutes. quality OEM product and very reasonable price to keep an expensive compressor up and runnin for another 6 years.

Parts Used
Ordered a new copper line from ereplacementparts.com and found that it had blown from the regulator not working properly. I then ordered a new regulator and replaced it. The only issue that I had was that the copper line did not have new compression fittings, so I had to get them removed professionally from the old line. Note: the fittings are not common sizes. Only everything was repaired/replaced the compressor worked better than new! Beats buying a new Ridgid for $500.
