Grabbed the stilsons from work and nothing applied a bit of heat (wanted to do without realy as it's been painted but)
I hardly even leaned on it and it turned and came out

i was not going to post for another couple days and see how far the thread goes

someone would have suggested putting it upright in the vice with the jaws on opposite flats of the bush....

I couldn't think of a more complicated way to do it. I like it.

Ahhhh Fk.

Now what? Clean it up and put it back in?

nope try to find a 1 inch to 1/4 inch reducer

i can get 1inch to half inch then a 1/2 to 1/4 to put in it then a pcl xl quick release to get air out full flow as best i can after buying a new pully

You could get a 1/2" pcl from Screwfix for around a fiver but maybe you want to use what you already have.

Update bought this to install in the removed plug

I'm wondering if I need a air regulator on it as well

something like this ?

Id have a valve inbetween the tank and the push fit fitting, as there prone to leaking

Do you only have 1 outlet on the compressor tank? IIRC I welded a second socket on my tank and drilled a hole so I have regulated pressure on one and full tank pressure on the other. 2nd outlet has a valve and chicago coupling on it https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/male-...ksPsS4qqnD_b70fjhz8FxY4v9MIaxWABoCFI4QAvD_BwE
You could do the same thing with a tee piece on your outlet.
Cheap regulators are like cheap tools, I would look for a better one than the one you see on eBay, it also looks like it does not have a suitable pcl, we often pay for what we get.

Have you not seen the second pic (at the start of this thread)? I see two ferrules on the tank already in use. Guessing one inlet and one outlet?

A question re your 3/4“ outlet: How long does it take to exhaust the useful air from the receiver with anything that needs a 3/4” line from a likely 5cfm FAD unit with limited storage capacity?

I think one tapping on top of the tank is for comp pump discharge, other for a pressure guage.

I rarely use the 3/4" outlet, but it's there if needed for a blast of 100psi air.

one of my comps has a full pressure outlet one end and the other a regulated water seperator

 

[angellonewolf]

theres 3 holes in the top 1 safety valve

1 valve for shutting off the compresser when up to pressure

1 for attaching the contacter for the powerfeed to motor and the on off switch (in one black box)

 

[angellonewolf]

oh and 2 large bungs either ends

does the claw foot fitting get in the way of the valve turning? (or does the valve to the other way?

are those fittings ok fitted and pressured up 24/7?

I've only ever really had old well used ones


I want to make a big air manifold, 1 compressors, storage tank, 3 outlets etc. keen to keep the compressors on some kind of quick/easy disconnect...

plc xf are the biggest airline quick release I can find without going crazy expensive or claw foot type


(I'm thinking about a big of stainless box section with fittings welded on then valves/quick release screwed into them

 

[brightspark]

the valve clears the coupling if the couplings are fairly new and not rusty and the rubber seals are good they dont leak but i wouldnt leave them conected for any length of time

 

[knighty]

ah... well there goes that plan

tempted to try some pressure washer quick release fittings... might give one a test to try :-)
