Can this timer handle 80 PSI?

No, won't cycle correctly at 80 psi. Won't turn off properly at that rate. Probably max is 65-70. Would need a pressure regulator.

I just reviewed the Melnor web site and all available PDF documents for this model and it does not have any PSI specification. I feel it would be best to contact Melnor customer service or support directly for this answer.

The pump works very well. I have seen pressure as high as 85 psi. This is not recommended as it could cause pipes to burst. Set presser switch to 60 cut off, 40 to cut on.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

Yes no problem. Im a shop owner and have an 80 gallon compressor for work. This unit is great for home use.

Maybe. It's not the pressure you have to worry about, it's the air volume/tank capacity. That little compressor may not be able to keep up. I use an ancient Curtis 220 volt, huge 5HP motor with an 80 gallon tank. It does the job.

No. Do not buy. The features are minimal.timer is manual for15 minutes.. I made a purchasing mistake

It takes a little work, but it will get you to the 70-80 psi range. However, it's tough beyond that point and I'm not sure it can actually pressurize to the advertised rating "up to 130 psi." I tried with all my might and the highest I could get was mid 80s.

this timer requires pressure to open and close . so any water system without a pressure pump will not work this valve properly

Yes, if it's less than 10 Amps. http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/Spring_Wound/FD_FF_Instructions.pdf

I would think so. I am using mine for a 1.5HP pump to power a water feature. One word of caution- this timer should be mounted high enough to allow your plug from the pump to be plugged into the bottom of the timer.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

i use on a system with 120 psi output. it is a very compact unit. works as designed. a plus is the drain valve in the body.

The instructions really just tell you how to properly hook up the unit. They give no maximum stop pressure. The gauge goes up to 150 psi. Seeing that another responder has gone up to 145 psi, your need of 120 psi should not be an issue.

I use it to to run two sprinklers on my lawn at night. I have about 45 pounds pressure and it works well. You can probably test your situation by hooking your hose directly and checking how the watering works. The timer will not reduce the pressure very much. Charles

I would say yes. I use it at 25 PSI and it works just fine. so if your compressor can do the 25 PSI consistently then you are fine. It all really depends what you are going to use it for and for how long.

It takes a G-13 A (CNB+). Personally, if I were you.... I would not buy this timer. You can barely hear it.

I'm not sure. But I'd recommend giving it a try. They are not very expensive. They are easy to operate and very durable. Most timers quit working after one season of use. But this unit is very reliable.
