Looks nice! I would install the belt guard and use some rubber mounting of
some type to dampen the vibration. I wouldn't be woried about getting my
body parts into it so much as Murphey slipping the odd piece off the wall
and sliding into the belts and doing the things that MS Murphey does best

I installed the curtis compressor today. It is where it is supposed to
be, wired the way I intended, etc. The only work to be done is adding
an auto drain and properly attaching a pressure regulator that was
included in the sale.

I reorganized the album, now there is a new page with installation
pictures.

That page explains what I have done, in some detail. There are two new
circuits, one for 110v outlets behind the compressor (for auto drain
etc), and another is a dedicated 220V circuit for the compressor.
Wires for them are enclosed in 3/4" EMT.

The mess in the garage is temporary, it is in fact organized enough to
allow two vehicles to be parked.

The domain likely belongs to the OP.

I set my compressor on a double layer of old carpet padding and it really
cut the noise transfer down. I also would think about putting a strain
relief on the Bx where it lands on the machine. The full weight of it is
pulling at right angle to your pipe nipple and it may in time snap it. Great
looking install though. Keep in mind as you connect the piping system to it
to use a hose between the compressor and the wall.

I am sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about!!! (due to my
ignorance of compressors)

The Bx cable is the shielded power cable that runs from the wall to the
pressure switch and supplies power to the machine. It looks like the angle
that it enters puts a strain on the switch and it may break the pipe nipple
'tween the tank and pressure switch. I think that I would clamp the cable
to the motor mount plate so that no pull is put on the pressure switch.
