[EDIT2] (at top to make sure visibility) All good, as explained in one of the posts. I shouldn’t expect pressure regulator to work directly at faucet. (Use tee or splitter) Here is video https://youtu.be/gp4aquT19LA

[Just started looking into drip irrigation] I’m using rainbird 25PSI pressure regulator along with pressure guage. (https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-HT07525PSI-Irrigation-Regulator/dp/B0049C5FZA)

Pressure guage measures about 70PSI without regulator (directly at garden faucet), however this doesn’t really change even after using pressure regulator.

Am I misunderstanding pressure regulator? or is guauge/regulator broken?

[EDIT] Here is what I’m talking about (in both cases it reads about 60PSI):

    Looks correct in my amateur opinion. Appears not to be working. I checked the Amazon link you sent and seems like others are having the same problem with this model.

      Going to try tee approach as mentioned in other post otherwise considering it defective.
