Pex hands down. Copper is a 78 speed record in comparison.

You're being overly critical about it yet aware and agreeing to the reasons for the shortcomings. Your critique pointed out problems yet you admitted to the reasons why they were evident. Overall, you're overthinking everything, right down to the length of the lineset. I put a 18k Mitsubishi...

You forgot to mention it's 3 times the cost ($10 a sheet vs $30 a sheet). Only need 6 to do the job? You spend $120 more. Dents easily, yes. What are you doing that dents are a problem? Can't hang anything? Bull. To each his own.

I own apartment buildings and do most of the work needed on my own -renovations, electrical, plumbing, etc. It's extremely important to know building codes. Not just for personal claims, but for liability as well. One simple shortcut or mistake you didn't know about can cost you everything -...

Here's a post on how to wire it, and it's md21722 approved (don't know him but he's very knowledgeable and has given me sound advice on other compressor matters). https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=336770

Lots of info missing, but simple answer to you question is this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TMKPTT/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I'll take one of those 7.5 HP motors for $75! :)

Helped me. I was going to wire the pressure switch to L1 and a lower left terminal on the coil before I read this. Thanks guys

OP - research the compressor pump and figure out what size single phase motor it'll take to spin it (amp draw is key, get it wrong and you'll burn up a motor), and what else is needed to make it run. Then make up your mind. I'm going through this exact process. If you're mechanically inclined...

Wow, tough crowd. Whatfield - abandon the user name, it's burnt to a crisp. In hindsight, shouldn't have expected anything less. Men will be men. Nuff said on this post.

Finally had time to give the Atlas a whirl. Bolted the Baldor 7.5 hp motor to the Atlas and used the Mac compressor the Baldor motor was to go on for a tank. The Mac has a nonadjustable Square D 175 psi pressure switch. Although plate on Atlas states 125 psi max, I used it (all I had). First...

I'd like to extend an invitation to ducksface to come over to my house for a few beers to be sure there are no hard feelings. On with the matter at hand - I cut a piece of pipe off the baseboard with a tubing cutter and then cut that piece again with an air cutter equipped with a diamond...

Finally! A suggestion that makes perfect sense to me!

I sincerely apologize ducksface. I absolutely misunderstood what you were saying, felt your post was distasteful and useless. Thank you for taking the time to explain. After reading your second post and then rereading the first one with that explanation in mind I now get what you meant. Your...

No way. That's gotta be 2 1/2". I have the ratchet for that set. Thor is borrowing it at the moment.

I read posts from others that have used both M and L. PSI ratings on both are well above the PSI of the compressor. 66cj - what do you mean by "which side of the flex hose"? I was thinking of connecting it as: Compressor pump → tank → flex hose → baseboard → filters → main trunk I...

Thanks Dagny. I'll look into distribution tube. I'm not doubting what you're saying, I just want to understand it better. :thumbup:

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, nor do I care. One of the main purposes of this forum is for people to ask questions and opinions about something they want to know more about. The responses to the question may or may not raise more questions, discussion and (mature) opinions...

Type D? The Copper Tube Handbook lists 4 types - K, L, M and DWV. I don't think you mean DWV (Drain/Waste/Vent) as it's made for unpressurized applications and the smallest diameter it's made in (from what I've found) is 1 1/4". Can you point me where I can find info on type D copper?
