1/2" impact wrench, die grinder, DA sander, Blast Cabinet, HVLP painting, air-operated tire changer from the 1960's

Thought of that. Looks like it may cause the fitting to leak and also voids warranty for messing with modifying things.

My "most things" will be high demand flow

Thanks everybody who replied. To follow up and close, I just ran both the 20 AMP and 30 AMP wiring behind the 4x2" framing notched and metal-plated. Had enough access above the common wall between the garage and the basement living area to run my cables. For both circuits, I just came out at...

This is very annoying! After spending about $200 for my 3/4" copper compressed air cooling/water removing system and another $25 for High Flow Milton V fittings, the Ironton model #49587 air hose reel sold by Northern Tool arrived today and I find it does not flow 3/8" because a swivel...

No worry. In my newest thinking about routing, it'll be below that I-beam by the time it goes the 20 inches to get past it before turning up to the ceiling. Thanks for your guys thoughts

Might as well use two 30A dedicated circuits and then cut off that 6-20p and replace it with a 6-30p to be compatible with code needing all receptacles to be the same, yet incomprehensible to me why.

Thanks. It is becoming clearer, unless anything I say from now on is mud.... By the "in-rush of the motor" are you referring to the air compressor? If so, I believed I had considered that when calculating that 15A x 1.25 = 18.75A and then adding the 21A heater for under 40A. Then making it a...

Thanks. Already has a 100A sub-panel and it is from here one or two new circuits will begin.

The motor is a Dayton 9TC62A and you are correct, it lists HP SPL and not as 5 HP (don't know where I got that idea) Believe it to be the original motor on this 1999 Speedaire 20 gallon compressor. The plug has this 6-20P configuration only its molded as part of a 14/3 STO cord...

"Rats!" Don't ave room the two, individual circuits. Could run the existing 15A compressor alternately with my welder 30A outlet, though. Don;t need both running at the same time.

Hmmm....

Thanks. Maybe you or someone else can review my amperage needs calculations: At present, with the 21 amp heater / with a 5CFM fan, plus the 15 Amp air compressor I calculated a 75 % margin of safety (under-utilization) like this: 15 x 1.25 = 18.75 + 21 = 39.75 So, a 40A breaker could work...

Thanks, got it. But as want a receptacle box on the wall to the right of the beam (in the photo) I am already now looking at running below it and it won't look terrible. Moving to the left past the box, will just turn upward just beyong the beam to return run the thing along the ceiling.

Thanks. I checked on the sole plate and see just a 1" reveal below the finished ceiling. For locating an existing 12/2 cable for the 120v 20A outlet circuit earlier , I already have a small part of the wall where it meets the ceiling opened up and there I can pass the conduit through to the...
