Compressor frustration, help
Spent better part of 4 hours installing an automatic drain on my 60 gallon
vertical tank air compressor. It's a Quincy 6.5 hp dual stage. Time spent was looking for fittings, going to the store, wrong fittings, wrong threads, scrounge through my collection of brass again, learn to swage copper tubing and PRESTO I finally had it all together. I had used my car hoist to raise the compressor off the ground for ease of work. When I lowered it back down I noticed that it 'rocks' on its mounts (4 legs). Well, the drain valve assembly is slightly taller than space between the tank bottom and the ground. About a half of an inch. Anybody have any bright ideas about how to easily get this compressor to sit higher off the ground? I'm thinking maybe bolt it to a 3/4" plywood base and simply cut a, say, 4" diameter circle in the middle of the plywood. Any better ideas that are quick and easy? Thanks, Ivan Vegvary |
