i have up graded to a bigger better compresser, my old cheapy,25l had a regulator with 2 sockets for the air lines.. the new one ..[pictured]50 litre has just a pipe coming from the end of the tank what set up would you recommend, its on wheels so i would like it to be portable...
how is it that one picture will up load , on ''upload a file '' but another that was taken at the same time is too big heres another from photofukit
Id undo the 90' Elbow (fitting sticking out) and replace with an equal T and then you can plug the open ends up with the usual quick fit hose connection thus giving you two connectors
Seems a good idea... Do I need to regulate the pressure..? The cut off valve on top ,with the dial only has, an off and auto setting.. I think it cuts out at 150 psi..
150psi cut out is standard on pretty much all of the compressors on the market. Its a safety device, basically to stop the receiver blowing up! You could regulate the pressure, its all down to choice - you can get basic regs or lubricated regs, again all down to choice. The lubricated ones have a glass bowl you fill with oil to stop corrosion (we don't use these, we have a plumbed in air dryer). How frequent use will it see?
Ok thanx.. Not much use some cutting and painting small areas could I add a water trap and filter for spraying.."
Yeah that would work fine! Machine Mart will have all of the parts you need or your local Engineering supplier (or eBay)!
I will need to have a browse... I wish we had a machine mart here... I have 2 hoses the small (1/4" fitting ) type and a bigger( 1/2" fitting) rubber hose, So I imagine I could use 2 different couplings... For different amounts of air,
You could use different sizes as you suggest, that would work - we use 20mm diameter steel pipe for the main supply line with the quick fit fittings leading to 15mm o/d rubber hose.
