more compressor questions
My monster compressor arrived yesterday. I admit that I haven't
totally read the manual yet. I need a globe valve, dryer, filter, and pressure regulator. Can anyone suggest an all-in-one unit? I'm a bit concerned with getting the right fittings. The threading in the air outlet looks a little more coarse than what I remember about the threading on regular black pipe. The manual also shows a short section of flex hose between the compressor and the rest of the air distribution system. Is this sort of thing at home depot? I don't remember seeing it. Maybe you have to make this from compression fittings and a section of hose? What should I be looking for? Also, it's a 6 horse motor. Is a 20 amp 220 line with 12 gauge wire enough? I'm getting the feeling that I need to go to 30 amp and fatter wire. brian |
