    Air Line Question

    That's a great idea about the swing joint. I had to think about it for a minute but I get it. I was wondering how I was going to offset the lower pipe so I could do the vertical take off and using the swing joint should take care of that nicely. Thanks, Dave

    Air Line Question

    I'm getting ready to add air lines to my garage. I've uploaded a picture of what I was going to install but now I'm not so sure. My question has to do with the area on the right side where I reverse direction. I had envisioned the pipe drooping down from left to right and then dropping 6...

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    Went to Parker yesterday and looked at the 1" 801 air hose. 200 psi rating. The hose itself isn't terribly expensive but the barb fittings are crazy expensive. I had thought I'd get 24" of it so in case I needed to pull my air compressor back to do any maintenance on the back side I wouldn't...

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    So I'm still confused. If I attach my compressor to my air lines with a 3/4 hose would that defeat the purpose of using 1" pipe for the main line. Or put another way, if you start off with 3/4 should you stay with 3/4 for the rest of the system? Or put another way, the TSC hydraulic hose (3/4...

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    I looked at the owner's manual for the Quincy F340 and it says the compressor puts out 26 CFM at 175 psi. The chart you send doesn't show the psi for the CFM calculations and maybe it doesn't matter? My run is very short now...2 car garage. Thanks, Dave

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    Thanks. We have a Napa and a Parker. I'll be calling them tomorrow. I admit I don't understand the pipe diameter requirements but if I'm supposed to run the main line at 1 inch because that's the diameter of the compressor tank outlet, wouldn't using a 3/4 inch flex hose render using 1 inch...

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    I've seen in a couple of spots that the main line should be the same diameter as the outlet of the compressor. That's why I'm using 1" main lines.

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    Thanks. I saw that last night when I was at TSC...If I was running 3/4" mains I would have bought it but I'm sizing my main based upon the outlet from my Quincy which is 1 inch

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    Any thoughts on where to find a 1" flexible hose to attach my compressor to my air lines? My Quincy 340 has a 1 inch outlet and my main line is 1 inch black pipe with 3/4 inch take offs. Thanks, Dave

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    I was off at Tractor Supply looking at pieces/parts for my setup I'm getting ready to install and noticed a rubber horse stall mat. 3/4" thick and seemed like a perfect thing to cut pieces from for under my air compressor feet. Anybody else use something like this? It is only $40 for a 4'x6'...

    Upgrading air compressor plumbing, any advice?

    Where did you purchase the red flex hose? Is it hydraulic hose? What diameter black pipe are you using? Thanks, Dave
