Trying to understand pressure regulator (lemmy.ml)

[EDIT2] (at top to make sure visibility) All good, as explained in one of the posts. I shouldn't expect pressure regulator to work directly at faucet. (Use tee or splitter) Here is video https://youtu.be/gp4aquT19LA

[Just started looking into drip irrigation] I'm using rainbird 25PSI pressure regulator along with pressure guage. (https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-HT07525PSI-Irrigation-Regulator/dp/B0049C5FZA)

Pressure guage measures about 70PSI without regulator (directly at garden faucet), however this doesn't really change even after using pressure regulator.

Am I misunderstanding pressure regulator? or is guauge/regulator broken?

[EDIT] Here is what I'm talking about (in both cases it reads about 60PSI):

Regulators are extremely simple devices, they're insanely hard to actually screw up. Make sure you're measuring at the output side.

There is only one way to connect pressure regulator though (hopefully I'm not attaching in reverse order)
