Tamiya 74565 Regulator: Pressure Control, Filtration and Fit
The Tamiya 74565 Airbrush Regulator with gauge adjusts the air supplied by a compressor and helps remove moisture and dust from that air. Choose it when your setup needs that control and filtration. It uses Type-S PF1/8 connections, so check the complete air-line arrangement before ordering.
What the dial and gauge do
The upper dial adjusts the air pressure, and the gauge lets you read the pressure at the regulator. Use the airbrush and paint instructions to establish the working setup. The gauge is not a flow-rate display in liters per minute, and its presence does not mean every paint should use the same setting.
Tamiya lists a pressure rating of 0.4 MPa for this regulator. Check that the compressor, hoses and other connected equipment are suitable together, and follow their installation limits. A regulator cannot supply air on its own or make an unsuitable compressor connection compatible.
Different parts solve different setup needs
| Item | Main purpose |
|---|---|
| 74565 regulator with gauge | Pressure adjustment and air-line filtration |
| 74558 connector | Join suitable male PF1/8 fittings through two female ends |
| 74564 Airbrush Stand III | Support airbrushes and provide the separately sold mounting option for the regulator |
Identify the missing function first. A connector may complete a threaded connection, while a regulator provides adjustment. The stand organizes the equipment but does not replace either air function.
Arrange the connection and first check
Confirm the thread standard and mating connections at the compressor, regulator and hose. Switch off and depressurize the system according to its instructions before changing the layout. Mount and orient the regulator as the supplied directions require, and keep the gauge readable from your working position.
Check the assembled setup using the equipment's procedure before loading paint. Then prepare a small spray test with the chosen paint's instructions. Our mixing and first-spray guide helps connect the air setup with the test you make on a spare surface.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Airbrush Stand III included?
No. Tamiya identifies the 74564 stand as a separately sold mounting option. The setup photograph shows how they can be arranged together.
Is every 1/8-inch hose automatically compatible?
Match the full PF1/8 Type-S designation and the mating connection. The nominal number alone does not establish a thread match.
Does this replace a compressor?
No. It regulates and filters air from a suitable air source. The compressor and airbrush remain separate parts of the setup.
