Standard compressor regulator max pressure?

I have a spare regulator I would like to put on my air tank but the air tank is used at 250 psi. This is like the regulator I have... Mine is from a craftsman compressor so it is high quality and I've taken it apart and it's all metal, so would I be okay to use at 250 psi?

Likely 160psi max on your reg...should be a sticker on it.

Fisher 67 will handle 250psi...400psi in some derivations.

what do you mean? inlet pressure or outlet pressure?? most regs are rated to 16 bars

you should find some info on it like 'Pmax - 16bar' or something

I can't find a rating on it... I mean input. QEVs are rated to 125 but they can handle 800... I'm wondering if the same thing applies here too.
