SPECIFICATIONS:

• Air Inlet: 1/4 inch NPT female
• Air Outlet: 1/4 inch NPT Male
• Gauge Range: 0-140 psi
• Gauge Face Color: White
• Gauge Size: 1 1/2 inches diameter
• Adjustable: Yes
• Weight: Approximately 0.15 pounds

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your air compressor is turned off and depressurized before connecting the valve.
2. Attach to Air Tool: Screw the male 1/4 inch NPT fitting of the Iwata 8130B valve directly into the air inlet of your spray gun or air tool.
3. Connect Air Hose: Connect your air hose, which typically has a female 1/4 inch NPT fitting, to the female 1/4 inch NPT inlet of the Iwata 8130B valve.
4. Turn on Air Compressor: Once all connections are secure, turn on your air compressor and allow it to reach the desired tank pressure.
5. Adjust Pressure: Use the non-slip control knob on the valve to precisely adjust the air pressure displayed on the gauge to your tool’s recommended operating pressure. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
6. Begin Operation: With the pressure set, you can now begin using your air tool.
