Welcome Eric! With a handle like 'Beerwrench' you'll fit right in here! Adding your location will help Eric.

Water sitting in the bottom of the receiver is the main reason why I prefer a vertical receiver in conjunction with an auto drain. The vertical receiver funnels all moisture to the drain.

What about the H.P. intake manifold? is it drilled and tapped? FYI, the interstage safety is 75# and the H.P. suction is 270#

...or add a tee at your discharge fitting to accept the safety valve.

Others have explained the principals regarding how aftercoolers function and what you have pictured is the 'standard' plumbing set-up. You can add a trap before the receiver, but either way, the condensation needs to be drained from either the trap or the receiver. My compressors are plumbed as...

If you're NOT planning on drywalling the ceiling, add 2X4 corner ties @ 45° cut into the top plate. Measure out 8' each way from the corners, lay a 2X4 across the marks and mark the top plate with a carpenter pencil. Move the 2X4, set you skilsaw to 1-1/2" deep, cut out the plate, install the...

Wow...so very sorry. I feel your pain...glad that no one was hurt. Rebuild better than before.

Here is a link to the instructions for the much copied original... https://ogict.com/bench-benders/instructions/ They work great for the smaller items you need bent. My oldest son is in elevator service and needed some wacky door lock picks made and these worked great for bending 5/16Ø 304 SS rod.

That is correct. Most (but not all) pilot valves are adjustable for cut-in / cut-out pressures (within the parameters of the valve spring tension) and you would adjust the cut-out pressure @ approx. 7 PSI LOWER than the cut-out pressure of the pressure switch...otherwise the pressure switch...

To add to GeoBruin's post, don't forget that the OP stated that the compressor is cycling a lot while he is sandblasting, so it's apparent that it is not working at 100% duty cycle anyway. 'Duty cycle' is when the pump is actually working to make pressure, so if it's free wheeling, it wouldn't...

Bob, I have installed continuous run pilot set-ups on small single stage units like the Emglo in the video and also large 2 stage Quincy's. The small single stage units work fine unloading through the pilot valve as they don't make high CFM. The QR -25 series Quincy's I installed them on have...

Here is a little more info regarding your question Bob...

Start by calling Pacific Air Compressors, if they don't carry them they can most likely head you in the right direction.

You're missing one vital aspect of cooling, and that's the pump & motor themselves. You have the compressor jammed into a corner with hardly any headroom! If you want your compressor to last a while, I suggest that you mount a vertical fan behind the receiver about 12" off the floor so it can...

Well, hell...even the asphalt looks pretty swampy...looks like a couple of white pick-up trucks are sinking into the abyss and a silver car is almost completely gone at the upper right of the propane tank!

Not to my knowledge unless you're mounting against CMU's that may soak in moisture...at least in California.

My pleasure! Pacific air compressors is always a great parts source if you need a source.

See if this helps... https://kellogg-american.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/K335-Manual.pdf Part # 80...Unloader tube? ...and welcome to the forum!

'It is better to have and not need, than to need and not have'

gsmith22 is spot on with his explanation. In my previous life, I was a framer / framing contractor for 32 years in California. WAY back when... there were a couple of shear wall callouts (lowest rated) that were diaphragm blocked / drywall with specific nailing callouts, but that was many years...
