Thanks again everyone! I only sprayed a small amount of CRC Screwloose at the top of the outer ring, not the inside of the coupler. After moving and turning the outer ring, this seemed to do the trick.

Okay - I feel really stupid. Even though yes as I mentioned the fittings are all relatively new with not alot of use, I still went back to the shop and sprayed a bit of oil in the outer sleeves. They work MUCH better now with little effort to connect them. Thanks for everyone's replies and...

The ones I have are all relatively new

I'm using Milton V style couplers that have the outer 'ring' pressed back so when you press on the fitting, the outer ring then snaps into place. Maybe I need to pull those back (further) ? I didn't think they needed to be but maybe thats the case.

Hi all, Sorry if this has been discussed before. I did try searching, but couldn't find anything and tried different wording for what I'm asking in my searches. Looking for what others have done to make it easier to connect air tools when the pressure is at 90 PSI (where I have it regulated...

www.emotorsdirect.ca A Canadian website. I probably found my answer. I called them today after posting here and they said they get a better deal from Baldor for the Farm Duty motors so they can have better pricing to customers https://www.emotorsdirect.ca/item/baldor-l3507...

I am looking to replace the motor on my General 490 drill press. The two Baldor motors I'm considering is the L3507 and the FDL3507. First is their General Purpose line, the other is Farm Duty. Specs are very similar - 3/4hp, 1800rpm, TEFC, 1.25 SF. One of the main differences seems to be...

Thanks for your reply but (unless I'm wrong) I believe it is a bleeding type. It's a Milton 1115-8 and a description I found says "1/2" NPT high pressure regulator is the heavy duty relieving type" Assuming bleeding and relieving type are the same. There is a 1/8" hole on the side that air...

I have a Milton filter and 1/2" npt regulator near the compressor and from there the lines are plumbed to the rest of the shop. At the end of one of the drops I have another filter and regulator (same ones as by the Compressor) When I drain the tank and lines, the regulator at the end...

Thanks for your reply The warning label mentions to avoid rust and scale damage, install a filter directly before the regulator.

Can a regulator like the one pictured be installed in any orientation? Milton 1115-8 I'm planning to install horizontally. Thanks

I figured, that's why I asked lol Thanks.

I have a 20 gal 4.5peak HP Campbell Hausfeld compressor and it has an integrated, proprietary power switch/regulator (the one pictured is not mine). I am planning to add a remote power switch to disconnect the power when not in the shop. All on 120V. Any concerns if leave the power switch on...

Awesome, thanks for confirming!

I like how it turned out. Thanks @torqueman2002 for the picture of the wiring into the base. My only question is....the wiring in the base is likely touching the capacitor. Is that a concern? Does the capacitor get hot? I tried to zip tie as best I could to keep it away but I'm sure it's...
