I installed a new pressure switch and reg on the compressor. Now it fills and shuts off properly but when i put a blow gun on it it blows air put but not continuously it drops the reg gage to 0 and stops but tank is full. Does it matter how you oriented the fitting on bottom. Like tank pressure only hole, regulator only hole, blow off only hole, tank only hole. Or can i put each of them anywhere.

The fitting shouldn't matter, but you should have just a nipple out of tank to the regulator, then out to your hose. Nothing else in line with the regulator except maybe a fliter to trap water and that should probably be behind the regulator if using one. Actually probably doesn't matter before or after, but I wouldn't want water in my regulator but filters should be as far out as possible to keep water out of your tools.

Maybe a defective regulator. :shrug:
