    Going to a true 5 HP will require a starter and # 8 wire with a 40 A breaker then it will be dedicated for the compressor only.

    Compressor Cord Size?

    If you are going to use a 30A breaker you will need to run # 10 Wire a # 12 is only good for a 20A breaker, if you have a problem and the breaker is 30 using #12 wire the breaker wont trip and may cause a fire. Get rid of the #16 coming out of the switch and replace it with min #14

    Compressor Cord Size?

    Some experts on here say since this is rated 7HP that you end up with #6 and a 50A breaker by code Yes a true 7 HP motor would need a 50 amp breaker but your motor is only 15 amps so it is a 3 HP. It takes 4.5 to 5 amps to make 1 HP at 220 v so a true 7 HP motor will be rated for around 32 amps

    If it says 15 amp then it is a 3 HP motor go with a 20 amp breaker and wire it for 12 gauge. You can go to a bigger breaker a 20amp and use 12 guage wire because if you use a 15 amp breaker it may trip on heavy use but going to a bigger breaker the unit will only draw what it needs so yes it...

    1/4" set undecided

    I have had my Proto ratchet 25 years and over the years replaced lost sockets with craftsman. As long as you have a good ratchet that works smooth I think you can get away with less expensive sockets as your not going to use them for high torque

    Compressor Cord Size?

    Ignore the max developed HP it is inflated 2.9 HP so the rating on the motor should read 15 amps. Go with a 20 amp 220 V breaker and 12 g wire a regular breaker will be fine. what is the amps on the motor ? 15 ??

    Door for dead-on 80" rough opening?

    go to your local lumber yard and buy a 32x78 door slab and it will fit right in. The door you bought is too big and will require cutting down, they do make 32x 78 doors
