does it have any risk to bust the gage with a compressor who run at 120 psi ?

Mine was permanently damaged when accidentally subjected to 90 psi. It is a rather fragile device.

While I urge the manufacturer to provide an official answer, I am using the gauge with a compressor that (like most) can exceed 120 psi. The logic is that the gauge measures the pressure of inflation back from the tire, and not the pressure that is provided during inflation. So, the issue is to not over-inflate the tire (which could also be damaged by 120 psi and be even dangerous). If you use the gauge a lot to inflate tires, I would suggest to dial back the maximum pressure on the compressor (such as to 80 instead of 120 psi), since most compressors have this feature.

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

the compressor high limit is set at about 130lbs so it will pump your tires. This is a great little compressor at a great price. Jer

The compressor will be close enough to you...that you will be able to read the gauge on it. Enjoy it !

I am not sure of the max pressure. What I can tell you is this: I run two of these compressors for an on board system, both separately check valved into one 3 gallon tank. I have both of them connected/regulated by a single Viair pressure switch (90-120psi) and use a single 120 amp continuous duty solenoid to power them. My pressure is set to a 120psi max however I have run them up to 150 psi before shutting them off. For me 120psi is plenty, and there's enough air volume to power a small die grinder and other simple air tools. The system will air up the 33's on my truck pretty quick.

My compressor supports up to 150psi, but the motor always auto-shuts off when it reaches 120psi. To this date, I have had no issues with this ballvalve as it has not leaked any air from the compressor as it held air for months. Hope this helps.

I run a 150 psi compressor with mine and fill up 35" tires just fine not sure if it would handle 200

I don't see why it wouldn't. If the compressor produces at least 90-120 psi, it should work just fine

Doubt it. The fittings used to fill your inflatables have holes drilled into them intentionally to make sure you don't over fill things. Plus I bet the gearing in the compressor is designed for high speed filling not high pressure.

Don't no the answer to the cfm question, but I run my air compressor at 100psi.

The gauge reads up to 160 psi but the label on the side states that the maximum working pressure is 120 psi. I have used it on bike tires for 100 psi but use it mostly on car tires. It can overheat and shutdown if doing tires one after another but if I let it run not connected to a tire for a couple of minutes, it seems to cool it down enough to keep from overheating.

I haven't done it...but this is one impressive little compressor, the fact that it runs 200 lbs. pressure makes a big difference in how often it runs. If there are small compressors that will do what you want, I'd be willing to bet this is one of them....it has no problem running impact guns and they use a ton of air.........lee

I have had my compressor on a 15A circuit for over a year and never tripped a breaker. Just keep in mind, that could change with what else you have running on that circuit. I don't think you will have any problems under normal usage.

You can use it for that since the upper limit is 120 PSI however as a one gallon compressor it too will take a while. On the UP side it is belt drive so won't be loud and should run cooler that the direct drive units out there.

No. this will not cause any problems. the unit does not pull enough power to overload 16 gauge.

90 PSI on the compressor will work well. Anything higher than your target inflation number will be fine.

I have one of those Porter Cable compressors I got for a brad nailer, and the Critter works fine with it. You won't need anything like 90 PSI, either. If you use too much pressure, the spray will be very dry and dusty.
