I'm trying to figure out what to use for a flex line to go from my Quincy compressor to my piping run mounted on the wall. The compressor has a 1/2" npt outlet on a 1/4 turn valve. My piping run is 3/4" copper pipe. What kind of fitting should I sweat onto my 3/4" copper?

Here's my Racedeck install from start to finish in the "clean bay". Started with a shop vac sweep and a mop with Simple Grey to make sure I was clean at the start. Then I started to lay out landscape fabric that I purchased at Lowe's.

Decided to start a new thread since my other thread was looking for advice on how to finish the barn siding trim. So here's my latest update on progress. I have all the major walls completed and am now working on the 4ft wall that transitions from my lower ceiling to the higher ceiling. I...

I started the assembly of my HD9XW lift. I'm a little confused with the instruction manual and am hoping someone on here can help shed some light. With the 2 crossbars installed, I manually raised each crossbar per the instructions and then proceeded to mount the 2 runways. After loosely...

I am getting closer to groundbreaking on a 3+ car garage with "man-cave" area. Here's the basic spec.s - 1 fully enclosed small bay for "clean storage" for the GTO. Center bay is 30 ft. deep with a 13 ft. celing for a 2 post lift. 3rd bay is basically 50 ft. deep. All 3 bays are 14 ft. wide...
