Inside the shop I hooked smaller gauge to one of my outlets where I can see it at a glance. Then I put another gauge inline where the regulator and drier are mounted in the wall. My theory being all three could not possibly fail at the same time. Okay it is just a theory people no need to summon Murphy for a visit. Having been involved in the design of automated production systems as an engineer for several decades I found McMaster Carr to be a very reliable source. Yea they can be a bit pricey but you can find what you need and get it next day so the few % higher price is worth not having the hassle of looking, searching and maybe having to order in parts anyway. If every company in America ran like McMaster the world would be a better place. I ordered a new regulator and 3" gage Tuesday, It arrived yesterday. 30 minutes later I have the situation handled. I kept the old gage added a Tee to the unit and added it so I now have two gages in the unit for redundancy. Likely overkill but I had the fittings so why not?
