What is a 4 port pressure switch?
This pressure switch features a fixed differential, an actuated diaphragm, and contacts designed to open with rising pressure. It is designed to control electrically driven air compressors and pumps.

How do I adjust my Lefoo pressure switch?
Turning either of the adjusting nuts in a clockwise direction will increase the pressure settings, and the reverse if they are turned counter clockwise. On this pressure switch, the adjusting nut in the small red circle is used to adjust the range of this switch.
What PSI should my pressure tank be?
Your well tank’s pressure should be set at 2 psi below the pressure switch’s cut-on point. This differs depending on your tank’s pressure settings. Most well tanks come set at 30/50. The cut-on pressure for the well pump is 30 psi, so the pressure of the tank should have a pressure of 28 psi.
What happens if pressure tank pressure is too high?

Some commercial tanks are capable of withstanding higher pressures, but for the safety of your home, you should never let the cut-off setting exceed 60 psi. Pressures higher than 60 psi can damage your pipes, fittings, and switches. This damage can lead to plumbing failure and costly leaks.
What pressure should a compressor cut out?
In general, the cut-out pressure should be about 20-40 PSI higher than the cut-in pressure. If your compressor only has 1 adjustment screw, you don’t have to set the cut-out pressure.
How do I get more psi from my air compressor?
- Use a screwdriver to remove the screws from the top of the pressure limiter switch cover.
- Locate the two limiter switch screws.
- Turn the compressor on and adjust the screw until the compressor runs until the gauge reaches the desired pressure.
- Leave the cover off.
How do I adjust the pressure on my compressor?
It can all be done with the following steps:
- Power On the Air Compressor.
- Check the Tool for PSI Compatibility.
- Connect the Tool and Air Hose.
- Adjust the Pressure Regulator.
- Unlock the Regulator Knob.
- Adjust the Pressure Up or Down.
What is the average PSI of household water?
between 40 and 60 PSI
Normal water pressure is generally between 40 and 60 PSI. Most homeowners prefer something right in the middle around 50 PSI. Once you measure the water pressure in your house, you can adjust it to a setting that is ideal for all family members and household uses.
What is the maximum safe water pressure for a house?
80 psi
The maximum recommended water pressure for homes is 80 psi; any pressurization exceeding this amount will result in thousands of wasted gallons of water each month.
How do you test a compressor pressure switch?
Checking Your Air Compressor Pressure Switch
- Start the testing process by unplugging your air compressor.
- Next, unscrew and remove the housing from your unit.
- Disconnect the sets of wires running between your pressure switch and the terminal block.
- Be sure to leave the black-and-white wires connected.
