<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Alan, the version of the pressure reducing - pressure relieving regulator I used on the R300 until recently was Watts Fluidair (Parker subsidiary )Model R364-02BSS/M1. It has a 0-60 psi range and a 300 psig max pressure.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cliff</div><div><br></div>
