What PSI

[crokett]

are those vinyl inflatable toys/floats capable of holding? Anybody know? I blew out my daughter's slip n slide over the weekend inflating it with my compressor. I'd just got done trimming out the door so the regulator was set to 90lbs. Next time what pressure should I dial down to?

I inflate everything with the regulator set at 90-100psi ...... it's all in knowing when to stop

You can usually tell if there's enough air in them things just by squeezing them (OK, this ain't funny). If they explode...too much air.

I generally prefer not to inflate things with a compressor - too much pressure. I got a rechargeable electric pump that works very well for this.

usually the volume is rather large in those toys... but I would imagine they can't hold more than a few PSI, I usually tell by feeling them, rather than measuring. I think a basketball is supposed to be at around 10 PSI and that's a way lot more than those inflatable toys can hold.

Usually you use a high pressure source but a small nozzle to limit the rate at which the air goes in, then you can feel it and stop putting air in as Thom and Cabman say. You just can't leave it connected and walk away.

I'll bet your daughter was upset .

Ha ha. I was just trying to get that extra little bit of air in there.

Next time try using the exhaust from a shop vac. You can blow things up in seconds. Let me re-phrase that. You can inflate things in seconds.
