The other side air hose in. Just get the same p. In my case im using an old compressor tank i have 2 holes. One is air in on the other hole a tee, a saftey valve and ill use the p. Im gonna use a better hose to. Reply 5 years ago. Im using a 8 gallon oil husky and a 11 gallon old cambell compressor tank. I could plug one side but these are not good instructions or pictures.
I could do like the picture except put a tee on the reserve tank or a hose in and my line coming out the other port. This stuff is dangerous i need to do more research. This was not helpful. Can you daisy chain more than one of those air tanks?
I'd like to add two to my small compressor. Is that possible? You can add 50 tanks together. Will they ever fill before the motor melts down, unlikely. Adding a fan may get some additional life out of the unit.
What you should expect to gain is volume. You may be able to actually start an impact or like tool, but to get a usable amount of air you need a considerable size tank. Best to not get your hopes up on these tools.
Good luck. I tired of such endeavors last year, quit fighting the small 26gal and bought a real compressor, a 80gal IR 2-stage, v and have never looked back. Every time I use it it makes me tear up a little, thinking about all the struggles I had with the 26gal. Being able to use air polishers, drills, and sanders that had been stuck in a drawer was an eye opener. Great i'ble! I especially enjoy reading these comments below as discussion is good for greater understanding.
Running a small compressor for extended periods of time will of course cause it to get hot and wear out faster, but running it extra long to fill up a larger tank isn't any different than running it extra long from using it a lot. The difference is that you don't want to be held up waiting for it to get up to the pressure you need after each little burst of air tool use.
Time is money, so it's a balance between how much your time is worth versus how much replacing a worn compressor will cost. Like most things you buy these days, these compressors were designed to wear out shortly after the warranty expires anyway.
Here are three ways I've just thought of to prolong compressor life: 1. With these additional modifications, the compressor should last a long time and keep the tank full without constant user intervention.
I have heard many many a time that that's a good way to burn out your compressor twice as fast as it's not suited to fill that much tank. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. You heard right! Every small compressor I have seen states in the owners manual a maximum period of time that the compressor should run for. From experience I can tell you that the more often the compressor has to kick on and off to keep the additional storage tank at capacity, the shorter the life will be on the air compressor.
This if fine for the occasional use but not much else unless you want to replace it within just a few months of doing this. I still keep a V pancake compressor around for occasional use, but for the majority of my air tools I have and V, 2 Stage, 85 gal, vertical air compressor. Here are the compressor fittings you'll need to purchase: Portable air receiver tank with a capacity higher than that of your air compressor i.
So now we'll dive into the dirty work. Step one when working on the new air receiver tank will be to remove the entire assembly from the top of the tank. You can keep the hose as an extra but we won't be using any of these pieces in this install. Next, we'll attach the couplers to the point where you removed the top assembly. Using an impact driver or brute strength and a wrench of your choice, install the coupler into the top of the tank.
Finally, take the other end of your new air compressor hose and attach it to the reducer you just added to the new receiver tank. Did you make this project? Share it with us! I Made It!

Consequently, one of the biggest mistakes users often make is to link industrial-length hoses to small, compact air compressors. Excessively long hoses in garage-sized work spaces can lead to air loss between the compressor and tool tip.
In residential garages, compressed air can be utilized much more efficiently with a flexible 50 ft. To accommodate the widest range of tool applications, be sure the hose in question has a capacity of at least psi. Between the inlet valve, pistons and tank, certain amounts of moisture can get through in the compressed air.
For applications such as sanding, painting and blowing, moisture and lubricant can be problematic. Therefore, an air compressor should be equipped with a filtration device at the air outlet. This will prevent condensation from diluting certain pneumatic applications and also stop lubricants from ruining paints and finishes. The two devices can be linked with a short airline between the outlet of the dryer and inlet of the separator. For overhead applications in crowded workspaces, additional setup features can solve the problem of dragging hoses.
If you intend to work on cars within your garage, for example, hoses could be an inconvenience as you circle vehicles from front to back. To prevent pulls and entanglements, consider installing an overhead apparatus that will link at the far end to your compressor and at the near end to your tools. The apparatus can be set up as follows:. There are a variety of applications that can be performed with a garage-based compressed air system.
From cutting and sawing to nailing and riveting. These tasks would otherwise require considerable hand coordination and arm strength but can now be accomplished quickly with pneumatic tools, which can be powered by portable, compact, vertical or horizontal air compressors.
However, the compressor you choose must provide sufficient cfm capacity combined for every tool you intend to employ in your arsenal. The following common garage-oriented pneumatic tools — all of which require 90 psi — generally correspond with the following cfm requirements :. Air tools make it possible to perform complicated, heavy-duty tasks in just a fraction of the time it would take to perform such tasks with manual tools. Whether your hobby or trade involves fixing furniture, making sculptures or repairing cars, it can all be done in fewer hours or days along with less physical effort when your garage is equipped with a properly sized and installed air compressor.
Air compressor installation is a useful undertaking for the avid craftsperson. If you use a range of manual tools for projects that involve wood or metals, you could end up saving time and enjoying greater finished results by replacing your manual tools with a pneumatic arsenal.
Alternately, if you regularly perform auto work in your garage, the installation of a compressed-air system could expedite a range of tasks — from the painting of car bodies to the disassembly and reassembly of engines. For nearly a century, Quincy Compressor has been a leading manufacturer of air compressors for a wide range of applications. From large-scale industrial operations to small garage setups, we sell compressors in a range of sizes to suit all types of uses.
Alternately, if you wish to install an air compressor in your garage for auto work, we have units that can power everything from pneumatic wrenches to paint sprayers. At Quincy, we strive to make tool use and their applications easier for all trades.
Gone are the days where people need to endure hand, arm and body strain to accomplish tasks like drilling, nailing, sawing and assorted heavy-duty applications. With compressed-air powered tools and machinery, applications become as simple as holding and pointing tools at specific points of contact.
