    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    I also have the 3/8" goodyear hose with the high flow fittings which is why I'm asking why that's not enough seeing that it's the biggest air inlet that these hand tools can accept... That filter regulator setup is pretty freaking cheap...How's it working for you? Just noticed it will only...

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    Kaboom, thanks for that. That's very similiar to what I was thinking. How many feet of copper do you have before the dryer? Any drain ***** at the low points? Do you have a link to your regulator/dryer setup? And can anyone answer my questions up above about why a 1/2" hose with 3/8"...

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    Take off that single screw and you will see that the red knob just clicks into this white pole sticking up and rotates it back and forth to turn it on and off. See if something is screw up there. BUT UN PLUG THE COMPRESSOR FIRST. There are live open wires in there.

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    ok so, best case scenario, how many feet to cool the air from the 3.2hp motor? If you put the drain valves at the bottom of the piping runs, wouldn't they just fill up with moisture over and over? Isn't that the point of the dessicant so you don't have to drain the water over and over? And...

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    Ok great. I'll be sure to add a drain valve. 25 feet seems like a long length of pipe. Is that long really necessary?

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    I don't know where you got 1.5hp from. Here's the compressor. 3.2 hp, 11.5/10.2 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xj5/R-100083906/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Well, this setup will be used for painting cars with HVLP guns. I'd rather...

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    Thanks for the replies so far guys. I know how to wire up normal 120v stuff. I was just seeing if there was anything special for this 240v setup. I'll go take that cover off and take a gander. As far as the setup goes, What do we think about this- from the tank, shut off valve, reducer down...

    How to hook up new 60 gallon Air compressor?

    Hey guys, I need some info on how to hook up the compressor to the regulator/ dessicant dryer etc. It's a 60 Gallon Husky. 135psi max psi. I need to hook up the electrical plug too. I took a picture of the wiring diagram below. Would it just be from the large hole in the side of the tank...

    Need some info on wiring for lights, 220v and which T8's to get

    Yea I've looked on CL but haven't found anything. I think it's because most people can't spell fluorescent. Haha. And the HD thread showed that most people couldn't find them unfortunately. I really just need some decent fixtures to put in the garage. They don't have to be super high end...

    Need some info on wiring for lights, 220v and which T8's to get

    He said they were T12's.....Back to the drawing board. So that 1920 watts from my post up there already has the 80% figured in right? So I would be able to use 15 more lights not 10. I think I'm going to wire a few to the power of the current fixture and switch and then wire the other half...

    Need some info on wiring for lights, 220v and which T8's to get

    I talked to him on the phone and I don't think he knows much about them. Didn't even know if they were t8 or t12. What about the HD ones I posted? And what's wrong with the 277v ones? Does that just mean you can't use them on household 120v ?

    Need some info on wiring for lights, 220v and which T8's to get

    so it would be 1920 watts available x 80% = 1536 watts - 860 = 676 divded by 70= 9.66 additional fixtures. So I could have 10 total and just be under the limit. And can you tell me why the LOA stuff is junk? A lot of people have had good experiences with them. I'm not spending hundreds of...

    Need some info on wiring for lights, 220v and which T8's to get

    ok, Just went back up in the attic to mark the spots where the garage door opener and single fluorescent light fixture currently are and started tracing some wires I saw running around. So I checked the outdoor lights against the "garage and utility lights" breaker. I found that both outdoor...
