Got everything wired and working. Took me about a day to figure out the 3 phase and get all the adapters. Need to pick up an elbow so the compressor output isn't pointed straight out. Lots of little things to do, but at least I have air again! Regarding the shut off, it cuts off at 125psi and...

Finally got everything wired up but am unsure which port is the inlet and which is the outlet on my TA5. It's impossible to find a manual so I'm hoping somebody knows! Otherwise, I'll make some calls tomorrow. Based on the icons my guess is the top is the compressor input, the bottom is the dry...

Finally getting around to installing this. Looks like the old wiring conduit was hardwired into a panel. For now I'm going to stick a plug on it but the conduit is pretty rigid. Anybody have suggestions for more flexible wiring options?

Thanks, I hope it works out. Every time the IR kicks on I get so annoyed. Hoping the replacement will let me think in peace! I think it's got a built in pressure sensor, but..I'm not 100% sure.

Sorry, here you go.

Heh, I would if I could but the new compressor and AC are stand alone. Realistically, I probably don't need a "back up". Maybe just makes sense to add a 1/2" elbow to the top of the tank and plumb directly into it. Then, if I buy a new tank I can hook it back up and sell the whole thing.

I have a compressor and dryer, no tank. The plan was to run new compressor => AC => old compressor tank

That's my old compressor. I want to plumb my new air compressor to use the existing tank. I guess it's be nice to also have a backup?

Don't really want to buy a new tank right now so I was thinking of just plumbing directly into the old air compressor. It doesn't make sense to add a T to the output does it? I looked under the compressor housing and there's a 1/2" NPT inlet but it's kind of hard to get access to.

Sorry, word vomit. Was looking at too many notes :) The largest ID air line is 1/2" ID and it runs fine off the 1/2" NPT air tank output. The new compressor and dryer is 3/4" out. I think if I use a 3/4" NPT to 1/2" NPT reducer everything will run just fine.

Ideally I would supply air through 3/8, but that line is currently pulling from a 1/2" reducer as well. Everything is OK. I could also just not worry about all of this and run a smaller surge tank that has a 3/8 fitting and supply with 1/2.

I probably need to get a larger tank with a 3/4 inlet at some point heh

Whops, hit post too quickly. I've also seen recommendations for the Rapid Air MaxLine.

Need to hook up my new air supply too the existing air compressor tank. Output is 3/4 NPT but the existing tank is 1/2 NPT. I know the line itself isn't 3/4 or 1/2 itself. If the tank itself is 1/2, is it dumb to run a 3/4 to 1/2 adapter and then just run 1/2 NPT whips?

Well, it fits. Barely.
