Product Summary
The Le Lematec AR-08 is an inline air pressure regulator designed for spray guns. Range: 0-160 PSI with fine-adjustment knob and analog gauge. Universal 1/4" NPT male and female fittings. Mounts directly at the spray gun air inlet for point-of-use pressure control. Compatible with all HVLP, LVLP, and conventional spray guns. Eliminates 5-15 PSI hose pressure drop. Manufactured by Le Lematec. Price: $20.89. Ships factory direct.
Best for: Spray painters, auto body professionals, and woodworkers needing precise at-gun pressure control.
| Spray Guns | All HVLP, LVLP, conventional, and gravity feed spray guns with 1/4" NPT air inlet |
| Air Tools | Any pneumatic tool requiring precise pressure control — airbrushes, detailing guns, sandblasters |
| Air Compressors | Threads directly onto compressor outlet, regulator panel, or inline with air hose |
Ideal Applications: spray gun pressure control, HVLP painting, automotive refinishing, woodworking finish, airbrush, lacquer spraying, clearcoat application, stain spraying
The AR-08 fits any spray gun with a standard 1/4" NPT air inlet, which is the industry standard for HVLP and conventional spray guns. It mounts directly to the gun handle for at-the-tool pressure control.
Wall-mounted regulators lose accuracy over long hose runs. An at-gun regulator like the AR-08 gives you exact PSI at the tool, ensuring consistent atomization and finish quality.
Pressure drops 5-15 PSI between the compressor regulator and the spray gun due to hose length, fittings, and friction loss. The AR-08 mounts directly at the gun so you see and control the ACTUAL pressure entering the gun — not the pressure leaving the compressor. This is the difference between amateur and professional paint results.
HVLP guns typically operate at 25-35 PSI at the gun inlet (not compressor outlet). Start at 28 PSI for basecoat and adjust based on your specific gun, paint viscosity, and fan pattern. Clearcoat usually needs 2-3 PSI more than basecoat. The AR-08 fine-adjustment knob makes these small changes easy and precise.
Yes. While designed for spray gun precision, the AR-08 works with any 1/4" NPT air tool that benefits from point-of-use pressure control: sandblasters (adjusting blast intensity), airbrushes (fine detail work), air erasers, and detailing guns. The 0-160 PSI range covers virtually all pneumatic tool requirements.
