This might end up kinda long to please bear with me. I am putting together a new to me compressor piece by piece. I have a small space to put it in & I want it to look good on top of being functional. I have a 30 gallon horizontal receiver/tank & a Champion R15A pump. The receiver was...

Anyone at all? Looking at making this 2 hour drive in the morning so if its not going to do what I need knowing before hand would be much better.

Short Version: Is the RPM to CFM ratio the same on the 2 versions of the R15? Long Version: I am putting together a compressor for my little garage & in the space that I want it in, a horizontal 30 gallon is what I need. But I also have a blast cabinet & DA sanders so I need lots of air as...

This right here.. If the check valve is doing its job then there isn't pressurized air to be leaking in the pump itself.

Given how little of that I understand I am going to go ahead & not bother with this pump.

Thank you for the explanation. Sounds like its going to be more trouble then its worth. I will either pick it up & scrap the pump along with the motor or I will just pass all together until something better comes up. Its really just dropping down to 30 gallons I want & I have a kellogg american...

Then can just be capped off for use with an electric motor?

Thank you both. I was thinking CH as well. But I couldn't find any images with the 1/4" lines front & top. Would those of been added after the pump was made?

Yeah I know the motor is a Kohler, but thats going to get trashed.. Its just the pump I am trying to figure out so I can pull specs to see what it will do with an electric motor & what hp motor I would need to pair with it.

anyone?

I was reading through this thread thinking damn I use the hell out of my 6" adjustable wrench & a 4" would be really handy & when I got yo your post I had to get up & walk to my garage. I bought the 4" crescent from TSC a couple weeks ago & its sitting in my wrench drawer untouched. So thank...

I am looking for a 30 gallon receiver to downsize from a 60 & this is about an hour & a half from me. I cant figure out what the pump is to see if its worth a **** or not. I would be converting it to electric & sticking it under a shelf in my little garage. Receiver is a 1987 is that helps to...

I pressured up to 240 psi on it. I had the tank sitting on my sloped driveway with the gauge on the downhill side. I intentionally left the gauge off until water was coming out that end and then reduced the flow while I got it on & connected. I did it at the elbow so while there would be some...

Well the deed is done. It held pressure fine. Hit the outside with the pressure washer so it's way cleaner then it was, but it still needs cleaned with a degreaser of some sort. Then to decide if I'm going to paint it or leave it the original 71 year old teal blue color (I don't like the color...

Water does compress.. Just requires way more force then we are talking about here to do it.. I have already been to tractor supply & they had roughly what I needed. I am attaching photo's of the setup, but nothing is sealed yet. Waiting till it warms up a little for that. The pressure washer...

I appreciate the concern, but I think the methodology is sound & this is the only thing I have on hand that can get any amount of real pressure other then air. If I am wrong & I rupture the tank then its going to scrap which is where it will go if I don't test it and being water instead of air a...

My methodology came basically from this video I am doing it much the same except that I have added a ball valve so that I can disconnect the pressure washer when I get to what I want.

I am going to just tap the trigger on the pressure washer to get it up to where I want & then stop. I am also adding a ball valve between the pressure washer & the receiver so as soon as I get it where I want it I can disconnect the pressure washer & lower it at will. I was planning to test to...

I have a nice looking old tank that had about 30 gallons of rusty water sitting in the bottom of it when I opened it up. Bought fittings to seal it up & connect a pressure washer to it today, except that when I got home with the stuff the check valve ended up being a 1" instead of 1 1/4" so I...

Ive decided just to live with it & put together a new (old) compressor. This is just an excuse to do what I want to do & my other half is ok with it so I am just going to forget about the leak & will pass it on to the new owner of the compressor when it gets sold (already had someone tell me...
