Yes, I know what the pressure needs to be but, what I mean't was that they should be regulated down to just above their working pressure so that the hose does not have all of that pressure on it, which is above 200 psi. IIRC.
I have seen that setup before at a studio and when I asked if they ever turned off the valve on the tank they said why? I left.
