Campbell Hausfield makes an extended drain kit that will put the valve at the bottom side of the tank. I got mine at Tractor Supply, but they should also be available at Walmart.

Was able to remove the blowoff valve the other day. I think it's original(it's the same Kellogg Blue) and it says 200 psi on it.
Seems a bit high if that's the tanks rated pressure. Shouldn't the blowoff be rated under the tank pressure?
Regardless it won't be run that high. 175 psi absolute maximum. Once I get the correct compressor rebuilt i'll turn the cutout switch up. Right now with the 325TV on there, i don't think that old Delco motor will want to run the larger unit up to those kinds of pressures.
Drawing up plans on 1/2" copper supply lines now. Plans are to use a "lead-in" 1/2" air hose(with 1/2" fittings) from the compressor to the piping on the wall, as the compressor is on an old pallet that's on top of an antique wheeled "platform" to move it around in the shop if need be. When running it shakes a bit, so i don't' want to run solid copper pipe to it, or it'll crack.
Right now there's an iron pipe 90* into a ball valve and an old 1/2" Wilkerson water separator. From there it will go to the 1/2" lead in hose then to copper pipe mounted on the wall.
Ordered a new 1/2" Wilkerson Regulator yesterday that should be here tomorrow.
With this nice weather i think a few PTO days from work are in order to get this both started and finished.
Is that a 20 gallon Puma? The Motor/Pump looks just like the ones on my IR Garage Mate ... they must come from the same factory.
Not a big one, but it's perfect for my needs.
Don't mess with it, take it back. The reviews at Lowes on this model are pretty bad.

I don't twit, blue berry or funny face anything.
That was pretty funny. Well, the first pic attached is a 1250 hp going through a roof and the other photo is a 1750 hp IR compressor...I had them mixed up...Can anyone help me…..? I picked up a LeRoi – Dresser series 400, serial # 453X13446, 2 Stage air compressor. I paid $150 for it at a machine shop auction. It came with a smaller size tank maybe 20-30 gal. (I have a large tank I’ll use with it) I’m looking for the spec’s on the pump and any info you can tell me about the pump. Did I get a good pump and for a good price? What cfm and max psi is it ? Any info would help. I plan to use it in my shop (if I ever complete the shop) . It has a 7.5 hp 3ph motor I don’t have 3ph but I do have a 7hp 1ph motor I’ll swap out. The pump has a paper inspection tag on it looks like the date says 1971 or 1975 hard to read but for sure from the 1970's. Anyone have a link to a manual would be great!!!
Here’s a link to the exact pump I have but not the actual one (I don’t know how to post pictures
