? about Air compressor Aftercooler install

[Motomadness]

Im in the middle of installing a Hayden 1260 condenser on my Champion air compressor. My main concern is if Im putting it too close to the pump flywheel. Right now I have it about 1" to 1.5" away from the flywheel, its not going to hit the condenser but will there be any issues with airflow? Not sure if theres a limit to how close it can be to the flywheel?

Champion installs theirs about 2" away from the flywheel. I don't think that's a critical part, it's the spacing from the wall to the aftercooler that's critical.

What are you using to separate and remove the condensate prior discharge into the tank? Got any photos?

Im using a water filter, I'll get some pics up soon, waiting on some parts.

Most are mounted on the belt guard, so that would be between 1"-2" away.

As Trey stated, be sure to allow sufficient clearance from the compressor flywheel to the wall. I've read various manuals that ask for 12" to 18".
