I've been talking to darkzero about the aftercooler on his US660V compressor. He machined a bushing so that he could install the aftercooler over the standard outlet port. In thinking about this, here is an idea I had.

The standard configuration I have is that the left side of the head is where the air filter is. This has a square cutout similar to the aftercooler. The right side of the head is the outlet that goes to the tank. This has a 1/2"NPT port that matches the air filter adapter plate that I had to use. Does anyone see any reason that I couldn't just remove the head and reverse it? Is there anything in the head that directs the flow in or out? :dunno:

Answered my own question and was confirmed by darkzero. The intake bolt pattern is a bit wider. It's easier to leave the head on and create an adapter for the other side.

The tech support guy at ABAC American said you can flip the head around, but you need to flip the valve body with it.
