There is about 3" of space behind the radiator and wall. I mounted it that way do to space considerations. Tilting it out sounds like a good idea. I might try that.

Thanks for replying. The water trap after the head is to catch any condensation in the hose going to the radiator. Since the radiator is mounted above the compressor head and the hose runs uphill I was advised to put a trap coming out of the head to keep any water running down the hose and...

Okay, after many views on this forum and posting a few questions and spending way too much money I finally got the after-cooler installed. And I am somewhat underwhelmed. The temperature drop between the compressor head (+/- 250 degrees) and the tank input (+/- 80 degrees ) is significant but...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I neglected to mention the whole reason I got a suggestion in a previous post to insert an in=line check valve was because the after cooler is mounted higher up from the compressor for space efficiency and accessibility reasons. Having the after-cooler above the...

Hello Hive Mind, In an earlier post I asked some questions about installing an after-cooler to my compressor. Someone posted on that earlier thread that I should install an in-line check valve between the compressor outlet and the cooler inlet to prevent any accumulated moisture in the tube...
