the 450's are only rated for 150 PSI. That extra air might be messing them up. I've had the same two 450's for over 4 years now, but I only run a 110/145 switch on 10 gal.

viairs in line check valves go bad with extensive use @ pressure over 150 psi... run a parker check valve in line on your system there pretty reliable
