Compressor ?

[aka rotten]

Speedaire 4b244.Had to order one today and being 83 forgot to order oil extension tube. Shop is 3 miles from here so ill ask would any of you folks know what size extension I need to pick up from hardware tomorrow? Dispise those lil square plugs in them things.Thanks,Paul

Probably 1/8 pipe.

I,d like to find one of those type that has little lever to shut on and off flow.Where do you folks find them at?Paul

I assume you bought just that pump? Looks a lot like what's on my little compressor (also Speedaire) and it came with an oil extension and didn't say so, but no idea if the bare pump would.

Mine is indeed 1/8NPT. Hone Depot, among others, should have a ball valve in that size. Also, my 2 cents, I'd cap the valve as well, as insurance if it gets knocked open /fails/vibrates open/whatever.

Good idea Mr firebox. I,m not knowledgeable with pipe sizes.Would that be standard 1/8 in pipe and cap or not? Thanks for your help
