What a great forum!
Simple question… I recently purchased a Badger 180-11 compressor (with a 50% off coupon at Michael’s) and plan on using it with a 200-20 airbrush. I know that I will need an inline moisture trap. Will I also need a regulator? Will it make a significant difference either way?
Thanks to all in advance!!!
Considering it only puts out 28 psi (according to the badger website) You don’t really need one.
I would buy a combination regulator/moisture trap like this one:
Mount it near your workbench and not directly to the compressor.
This way you can adjust the air pressure and not have to worry about water in your airline. It would also be a good idea if possible to find a small airtank to act as a reserve to keep the airflow smooth as diaphragm compressors pulsate the airflow.
