Re: My air compressor losses 5psi after it shuts off at 175psi? Yeah its a new centrifugal unloader valve so that is working correctly...Just trying to figure out if dropping 5psi is normal?

Update looks like I was wrong when it settles it drops down 5psi....Is that normal?

Looks like the copper pipe is leaking and also is 1/2 it's supposed to be 3/4. So would I be able to use galvanized pipe to connect the pump to the air tank?

Here's the pic of the pressure guage

after it settles down maybe 5-10 minutes

My air compressor losses 5psi after it shuts off at 175psi? Trying to see if this is normal my air compressor shuts off at 175psi and drops down to 170psi right after What could it be?

Kool I didn't know that thanks

Just bought a new pressure switch its comes factory with it turning on @145psi and turning off at 175psi So I install it and looks like its about 5psi too low....turns on at 140psi and turns off at 170psi... Should I adjust it or leave it alone?

Update it was a bad unloader valve causing it to not build up pressure correctly....installed a new centrifugal unloader valve....and it is now pumping up correctly

So you think with the Schrader valve not working correctly...that why it's extremely slow to build pressure?

Yeah the pin is seized on the valve...also in the atattached pic it retracts itself when the pump is running and pushes itself out when the pump is off so I assume that part is working correctly

Here a pic of the unloader valve So the valve just fell out of it when I took the elbow off....and the pin does not push in...is it supposed to work like a tire valve?

yeah I took it apart I think it bad... would that cause the tank to pressure up very slowly?

so I bought a Campbell Hausfeld tf series pump which has a Centrifugal Unloader Valve and it is leaking air when the pump is running Is that normal? Also it is really slow to build up pressure like 20 minutes just to get to 100psi.

The pump is a campbell hausfeld tf0018 2 stage pressure lubricated pump.....I believe the pump came with a 5hp 1725 rpm motor aND the outer diameter pulley was 6.75"....I have installed a 5hp spl motor that spins @ 3440 rpm with a 3.15" pulley....I wire it up yesterday....but it is really slow...

Hi was wondering what you all think? Currently have a 5hp spl 18 amp motor 3440 rpm Was looking to get a true 3hp 1740 rpm motor.. What would be the advantages or disadvantages?

No I don't have a starter

Here's a pic

Ok kool....yeah the black and white is already connected to the motor....

Ok can I connect any either black or white to the red wire? Or it doesn't matter?
