Is that why Dorman freeze plugs from China don't fit in small block Chevies anymore? (Machinist said they are loose, fall out. Dorman told them to use more sealant or possibly JB Weld.)

I ordered two of these: C8331-610
I will more than likely remove the lubricator and just use the F/R setup.

CHeck out the PDF on page two, it explains all the parts numbers and all the options, would need more info then just 3/4 to give you a part number

Got my order today! Two of the 3000 series 0.3 micron filters in 3/4" NPT.
I just placed another order for 2 3/4" piggyback regulators.

I received my order today. Two of the 2000 series piggyback F/R. These are nice units and I am very happy to have these in my shop.
Thank you SRMOFO for posting the information.
BTW, the arrived via UPS from Charlotte NC.

Not sure, but I bought my impact gun here last sping around this time.
So I got my hose reels, they boths had a little damage to them. They are still useable, they appear to have been damaged before leaving IR, as one of the boxes had a hole that was covered by the other box. The damage is not bad, chipped paint and the metal is bent alittle. All that said these things are huge, they appear to be designed for industrial use. Wish I would have bought a few more.

My oiler had oil in it as well. I was thinking maybe they ran oil through it as part of some kind of quality assurance testing before it was sent out. Fine with me, I'm tired of getting things that don't work out of the box. Seem like maybe IR is testing things as part of the manufacturing process.

FYI, I bought a combo unit about 2 years ago, also had oil in it. I didn't buy it off the closeout page.

Just grabbed 2 of the 3/8'' Piggyback oiler/filter/regulator. One for my 20 gal compressor, and another spare.

Got 7 piggybacks in today. I ordered one more 3/8" one for my blast cabinet. I paid more for my one F/R unit than I did for all 7 piggybacks. Thanks to the OP 
.
.Which filter is it? The 5 micron or the 0.3 micron? The 0.3 micron is going to be restrictive.
I'm running a 1/2 impact with the 5 micron at 90 psi, and I do see the needle drop momentarily to about 65. But I don't know if maybe it's just an inaccurate tiny gauge or something that jumps like that. I noticed the rapid drop of the needle as well. And my impact only is about 4.5 cfm, with only 5 foot leader hose from the compressor to the filter, and 50 foot hose to impact, so I should have plenty of flow end-to-end. Impact wrench seems to work fine.
5 micron.
Maybe that regulator is just so you "regulate" or set a maximum air pressure that is going to the tools. The gauge has just a pinhole inlet. So maybe the purpose of the gauge is just to set the maximum output. And when you are using the tools the needle just drops and is inaccurate. Maybe you need to get one without the built in gauge and get one with the large 1/4 or 3/8 fitting and put a large external gauge to accurately measure psi drop.
This is all just a guess on my part. But looking at the pinhole size inlet of the built in gauge and the small size, I don't think it is really intended to be accurate, I think it is just to set the maximum psi output to the tool.

You are supposed to set the regulator while air is flowing through it, ideally the tool you are going to be using, but you can do it with just an open air line. That is how it accurately can regulate the pressure the tool is getting. Setting a regulator without air flowing through it is pointless. Pressure without flow is very different from pressure while flowing, as you found out.

So this big *** hose reel showed up today.
...what the hell man. What am I supposed to do with a hose reel that weighs 140lbs?
Wow! A freakin' monster!
Break my heart and tell me how much that cost?

Has anybody found a "service manual" for the 2000 series F/R/L's? I know they sell replacement parts, but I got a few things in mind I'd like to confirm.
Stupid question no doubt, but I assume the 1/8" NPT on the front of the PiggyBack units with no gauges is to install a gauge of my own?

Yup. I got one w/o a guage b/c I wanted it for HVLP purpose and needed a lower scale guage.

You guys who got the piggyback filter/ regulator, any ideas on mounting? Hooking mine up this weekend and looking for ideas.
I sold my two FRL's. One on ebay one on CL. I came out ahead about $55 after everything. I'm not impressed with these units, they have a large about of pressure drop.
That hose reel looks huge! I should've gone for that thing.

Got my new regulator in a few days ago. This thing is a beast!
I really wanted one of those hose reels but missed out. The 50 ft one would have been perfect!
Any idea how the drain works? Does it need anything? I can blow back through it?

They make mounts for them. The mounts cost twice as much as we paid for the piggybacks!
There is a plastic ring on top. You unscrew that and slide the mount down and put the ring back.
I am going to buy some angle aluminum and make the mounts for mine. One of the online PDFs has the mount dimensions.

For mounts, I just use galvanized pipes for inlet/outlet then two hole brackets around the galvanized pipe. Cheap and effective. With a flexible hose connecting from the galvanized to the compressor, no worries of vibration.

I originally ordered a Piggyback, but then between no gauge and ??? mounting, I ordered a seperate combo unit the day after which came with mounts and a regulator with gauge.
Cheaper then buying the mount, and heck probably cheaper then fabbing a mount up too.
