Double cylinder air filter burst disk/cutoff

[jvrobert]

I have one of those double cylinder air filters from Tuxing. They rate it as 300bar/4500 psi which.. isn't a thing lol.

Anyway, as the little release valve on the side starts releasing air at 4000psi or so, I can't fill anything to 4500psi. I'm thinking of just plugging the hole with a dead plug, I watch my air fills pretty closely and stop at 4500 psi.

Anyone else found a solution for this?

@jvrobert Can you post a photo of what you're describing?

Not everyone owns one of those & your description has no context for us. Pictures?

Sorry yeah should have included more context.. the pressure relief safety valve on lower right.

It may be a spring loaded release valve. Shimming the spring may increase the release pressure. Proceed with caution if that is your only overpressure valve. Because you probably won't know how much in raised the pressure by.

The eBay Tuxing Double Filter ad notes safety valve is a replacement for the older style burst disc and will self-purge when it reaches pressure pre-set by manufacturer. Seems they've decided to set pressure release @ 4000 psi despite 4500 rating. WM
