Hi all,
My dad gave me an air compressor many years ago, at some point, one
of the tubes from the compressor to the tank broke. I had another so, I
ignored it. It has sat for years and parts have scattered. It seems like
this would be obvious, but I don't know to put this back together. I
find one open male connection going to the tank and two
male connections on the compressor, one larger than the other.
The shut off switch and the pop off valve are intact as are a valve on
the tank and a valve to adjust output pressure.
I just can't make sense of two connections to the compressor and one
to the tank.
Any Ideas?

Thanks, Mikek

I assume you have one that turns off when pressure has reached its set
point? There should be a pressure switch on the tank.
Yes, it is in place.

you have an inlet and a outlet on the compressor.. there should be a
arrow to mark the direction that compressor turns. If you are not sure,
start it up so see which way the motor turns.

Now that you have sent the picture you probably see the the two
tubing connections where 81 and 82 attach. and the air intake on the
opposite side.

The inlet should have some kind of filter on it. if you put your figure
over what you think is the inlet and then hand spin the pump
in the correct direction, it should create vacuum (inlet) and the other
should create pressure (outlet)


Ya, that's no problem, easy to tell the inlet from the out. But it still
has two connections to the compressor besides the intake.

Outlet most likely goes to the tank or into the pressure switch which
goes to the tank.

Inlet needs a filter on it.

Etc..

Thanks much, Mikek
