Just out of curiosity why would I want to run 12g wire on a meter that pulls less than 1 amp?

Did you fuse either of the wires? I'm thinking without a ground fuses may be smart

thank you for this, sounds like you have offered me a solution. avoids energizing the ground and gets the meter monitoring hours. this is the meter I got, I'm sure its a cheap one, hopefully it will last for me.

Okay, I see what you mean about not using the ground. So if this meter is rated for 240 can I just connect each lead of the meter to each hot lead of the pressure switch?

Many air compressor manufacturers set their maintenance schedule by hours run, hence adding the hour meter. Secondly, I will use the appropriate size wire for the load of the meter. Third, the compressor is pre-wired to the pressure switch with 2 hot leads and a ground, there is nothing to...

Yes, ac meter. 30 amp circuit, no neutral but neutral and ground are bonded at the breaker box right? So neutral and ground for this is essentially the same?

I am looking to install an hour meter to my new compressor. The meter is 120v-240v, has terminals for + and -. The compressor has a pressure switch, not a mag starter. Can I just connect the + terminal to one of the hot terminals on the motor side of the pressure switch and the - to ground? this...

I think I have figured out what I am going to use, but I would like some opinions before I make the order. Ingersoll rand regulator and filter. regulator model R37341-600, and filter model FA40IG. Compressor stats are 15 CFM at 175 psi. I plan to use 1/2 hose from the compressor ball valve to...

And the price reflects it. I ordered one from C-Aire yesterday, because of circumstances I was unable to get all the specifics above what the website shows. Should be in withing a week. will post a follow up once it's installed and in use.

I hope to visit my local retailer early this week to talk with the sales guy to get all the specifics. I will report back with my findings.

the majority of my usage will be hand held air tools, with occasional use of a benchtop sandblaster. I have no issues oiling my tools each day before use, so a lubricator is not necessary.

I really like the 755 pump RPM of the 60gal 5 horse C-AIR. I have a local retailer, I think that is the way I'm going to go.

I am thinking of the Quincy 2V41C60VC from Air Compressors direct here, https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-2V41C60VC-Air-Compressor/p855.html?utm_term=855855&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm9XWib-I2QIVxoJ-Ch1NlQ4IEAYYASABEgIMnfD_BwE the Quincy gets great reviews, but I am always looking to get...

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these? Any good? The specs look decent.

getting ready to pull the trigger on a new compressor and I am looking for some suggestions on a filter/regulator setup. In the past Ive used whatever cheap general purpose filter that depot or whoever had on the shelf. This time though I am looking for a little better quality. I think a general...

well thanks, the two 45's worked out well it actually gave me a little more usable and reachable pegboard.

not the best pics but here you go.

went ahead and picked up a tillman one for vision protection and another from airgas for grinding. may return the second frame and just spring clamp the grinding curtain over the transparent welding curtain depending on the job.

except when the neighbor kid likes to poke his head around the garage and watch me while I'm welding. :eyecrazy:

I'm looking for a decent welding/grinding protecting screen for my garage. I am considering the ones from Uline. they are priced right at $100 with frame and curtain. does anyone have any experience with these or any suggestions on a good one around this price? I need it for controlling where...
