Porter Cable 80 gal compressor question.
 
\\\ ALSO POSTED IN REC.WOODWORKING ///


After purchasing the air compressor I do not see a standard tank outlet in
the side of the tank anywhere. Its a vertical configuration.
I do see a pre-installed 3/4" outlet called a globe valve at the top front
of the compressor that looks like a hose bib that is part of the relief
valve assembly. Am i missing something?

I want to tie into an air system and it seems like this tank should have an
outlet like anyother tank I see around.

Any clues?

I'm currently trying to get through to porter cable as well.


Thanks,
Rich

I have the 60 gallon version. The assembly you described on the top front
IS the outlet.

the side like most compressors I see 60 gal and above.

The did it to save money, obviously. I have a Delta version of the
more-or-less same compressor. They're all made by DeVilbiss. I don't care
where the air comes out. It all has to fit through a regulator and a 1/2"
pipe anyway.
