I.R. compressor help

[sweetk30]

found this super clean unit but it says its a vac unit .

has anyone played with these before and possible turned them in to a compressor ?

i know it wont be a big unit but figure better than loud china units that dont last long .

I dont think you should use a vacuum unit as a compressor. I don't think it will work, and the parts will not be rated for a very high pressure. The compressor and receiver would probably only be rated for 30 PSIG.

Find the model tag, look up the model # and do a bit of research.

I had a gast fresh air pump a while back that needed a couple things swapped around and it was a perfect vacuum pump.

I suspect it will work but it probably won't make 100+ psi

i plan to do some looking up .......... but figured all the members here would have some first hand knowledge before i dig to far .

got ahold of I.R. tech development today . They looked up the pumps info and said this one will NOT convert over to a pump .

might see if i can still get it cheep and keep it as a vac unit .

Does it have an ASME tag welded on the tank? It will give you the pressure rating. If the price is right add a new pump.
