Another sweet find in the garbage pile at work.

Three sweet finds actually. Dual filters for 3/8" line air compressor. Removed because we no longer needed them. Ok I'll take them! Thanks!

Cool! Open them up and see how much corrosion, if any, is inside of them.

Another great find. Got to love dumpster diving.

In all honesty, I think dumpster diving is what motivates me more than anything to go to work. I have pulled some amazing things out of our scrap bins and dumpsters.

Niiiiiiice!

That's probably a grand when new!

 

[PFSard]

WOW!!! That's cheap money for those. Great find.

Those look like lubricators.

They're most definitely filters and they're barely used. No rust or corrosion at all. Coincidentally around the same time I found those I won an auction on eBay for a 1/2" Parker filter/reg, but these will come in handy... Some day... I think...

It's funny because I had been looking for a 1/2" filter/reg for about a month now and the same time I find the 3 filters in the garbage, I win the auction. Why can't stuff like this happen when I play the lotto?

Nice score OP. Can't beat getting useful items like that for free.

Now is perfect time to plan your airline system (copper, black pipe steel, or RapidAir) and run it at full pressure of tank (ie compressor cutoff). Then use your 3 filter/regulators so you can regulate pressure at specific drops. This keeps high pressure in your airline system to lessen pressure drop at the tool.
