60gal Compressor Installation Questions

Mine is on a 30 amp breaker. No issues.

QUESTION 3: I'm convinced the person that poured our garage slab had a clock that always pointed to Happy Hour. The slope is all over the place. I plan to mount to isolators and then thru to the floor. What do you do to account for the differences in floor height to at least get it reasonably close to level?

Sorry for being late to this but, my floor slopes down to the center due to a drain in the center, installed my 60 gal. up right against a wall and it wouldn't sit level .
Since it's a 3 leg tank I went to Amazon and found a seller that has a package of 4 isolators and what I did was to take one isolator and cut it in half ( for example if it was 1/2 " thick it be came (2) 1/4" pieces)
found out where the low sides were and lay the 1/2 isolators on the floor and the whole pads on the top of them.
I did not bolt the compressor down and it has not moved in the 7 years it been on the floor.

Around here a lot of people use hockey pucks as isolators. Good Ole Canada lol
Like someone else said too I left mine on the skid it came on. I haven't plumbed it in yet, since it's not used regularly I connect a hose directly to it when I use it.

I don’t claim to be an expert at all, but I installed the same compressor a few years ago and made a thread about my installation.

My air compressor and air line upgrade

BACKGROUND- I got my original air compressor back when I first got my own garage, around 1992. I went to Sears one day to look at a modest portable unit. They had a 5HP/ 30 gallon unit on the floor that had been closed out. The clerk told me that if I was interested in that one, he'd make me...
