Regulating air from a ceiling mounted air reel

[FFPL]

I just put up (suspended) a 100 ft Reelcraft reel on my 14 ft ceiling and have been contemplating how I should regulate the air supply to my air tools (mostly aircat). Most of the air tools should only get 90 PSI so I'd like to do something (or do I need to?).
The air supply from my 7.5hp compressor will be 100-150 PSI. My airlines are mounted high and I generally regulate at the point of use. I did think of mounting the regulator with the reel but being 14 ft up it will be difficult to adjust.
Anyone got opinions on inline regulators (from coilhouse pneumatics) like this from MSC ? http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=2118293&PMT4NO=58965308

Any other ideas ?

Put a gauge on a tee and attach it to the end of the hose with an air tool and see what it pressure you have. With 100' of hose you will have a pretty good pressure drop.

Why not mount a real regulator with a gauge on the wall to feed the hose reel.

I regulate it at the compressor - on the leg going to my tools, but not at the leg going to my sandblaster. If for some reason you need more for something, use air from the blaster leg. I also have a small reg at my lift, which only wants 50-60psi. You can set up your system in any of a number of ways.

Tools are "rated" at 90PSI but they will work with greater pressure. Don't worry about it.

Is your compressor a single stage or two stage?

Thanks for the responses

I'll have to try this but I don't think I'd get that big a drop. It'll be interesting to see.

This was going going to do initially. I'm thinking of going back to this one.

Eaton 7.5hp 2 stage

A two stage compressor is more efficient than a single stage so you are one up there. Since you do not need high pressure air most of the time you can also turn down the pressure control on some units then turn them back up when high pressure air is really needed.
