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 Glenn "Ignoramus18224" wrote in message ... 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. http://igor.chudov.com/projects/CurtisCompressor/ 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. i |

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. lg no neat sig line "Glenn" wrote in message ... Looks nice!
