Dirt cheap Yong Heng clone

Like I always say buy cheap get cheap.
Just look at the fittings on the thing they are all brass not stainless steel like the Yong Heng. You have to tighten the ones on the stainless lines up pretty tight. So brass is just pretty iffy in that spot.
Hard to say if you can get parts for it likely not.
Cheaper is seldom as good as the real deal.
Only time will tell but I think it will disappoint.

It's also "cloned" off the OLDER Yong Heng models, the ones with more problems & failures. Might even have the thinner cylinder walls like the old YH. There was a reason that Yong Heng made improvements! Too inexpensive always makes me leery, but that's me. Best of luck for you if you decide to try it.

I agree it uses 8mm piston ring seals that can no longer be bought. The newer HY uses 9mm piston ring seals. Once they wear out it is a parts unit. Sorry
But I have one just like that.

Oh, I have no intentions of buying one. My original thought was maybe someone could use this for some parts.

I would not stand next to one of these when filling a gun to 200 - 300 bar. Be careful people!
