air compressor & some PVC pipe....

for the air intake/filter


GOTCHA!!!


finally got around to ordering some repair parts for my old CM compressor, got it back together, and decided it would be a good idea to do something about the crappy little piece of foam they use for the intake "filter"

i already had the air filter laying on a shelf, and stopped by lowes for some PVC parts and a rubber coupler.

it's no quieter than before, but i think the filter doubled my HP

Just be sure that you keep the filter clean. If not the excess vacuum could cause the PVC to implode and kill your intake valve and piston... That **** is deadly in a compressed air system..

no neat sig line

Not only kill your compressor but I read a story about a pvc compressor intake pipe self destructing and literally killed a bus full of nuns and caused a 2 week outage of internet

You may need a larger breaker with all that extra HP

Turn that bad boy over and you could look just the the mall crawler Jeeps around here.

i heard the nuns were volunteers for the humane society, and several puppies were scarred for life in the aftermath

i knew someone would be ready to light me up with a flamethrower

i already installed a 200A breaker on the garage feed, and noticed when i kicked the compressor on both neighbors lights went dim..

i originally was going to have it pointed up, but theres a shelf above the compressor in the way....

maybe i should cut a hole in the roof, and run it all the way up top...
