Resolved Question: What's the best way to mount an air compressor filter?
I bought a small Husky, 5 Gal. air compressor. My intended purpose was to use the blow-down nozzle, instead of spending the REDICULOUS ammounts of $ that they charge for compressed "air" (air/gas), in a can, which I use a lot of; for various electronic/(minor)automotive-component cleaning. After finding that condensate would form & spray from the nozzle (EXTREMELY undesirable[!]) after only a few min's. o' use, I returned to the home improvement store, and was advised that I needed an in-line filter-- which I subsequently purchased. It's a Husky "Mini General Purpose Filter"; with 1/4" screw-ports, & 64SCFM max flow cap. @ 90 PSI (if that helps you, any).
The instructions were pretty easy to understand except for the part about mounting it (presumably to a wall, or some other solid, vertical surface). The ONLY thing the instructions said was "Securely mount the filter in a vertical position as close as possible to the air tool connection" & that's IT!
It didn't come w/ any hardware but, there are four very small threaded holes drilled vertically into the metal part, between (just above) the plastic catch-bowl, and (just below) the inlet/outlet ports..... But, I don't understand how you'd mount the filter using such tiny screws, in THAT configuration(???) My guess was that the holes were for some-sort o' mounting-bracket but, neither of the major home improvement sotores had any such thing, and I can't find anything online NOR can I get anyone to answer their toll free "support line"!
Its design is just-right so that I can't safely zip-tie it, either (!) Any ideas?
moreResolved Question: Electrical Huskey Air Compressor Problem?
Father-in-law gave me 2 huskey air compressors. Said they quit working for some reason or another. I asked if he drained the tanks every once in a while. He answered," Nope, don't know nothing about no drain". Got them home, plugged them in and both motor's run and sound great. Problem is neither compressor get's over about 40 lbs of pressure in their respective tanks. The models are Huskey Wl651003A6-5hp,15gal,150 max psi, belt driven pump.
Belt looks good and tight, no leaks at any fittings,
Husky FP202100-4hp,.8gal,125 max psi, pancake compressor.
No leaks at any fittings
Here in Houston, Tx there appears to be only one shop that repairs Huskeys. It's the type of place that if the owner happens to wake up that day and remembers he's got a shop he might go in to work. Otherwise your gona half to tape a note on his front door to ask him to call when he gets in. I've waited for about two months now.
Any ideas? Hate to just throw them in the garbage!
moreResolved Question: How do I put a 220V motor and compressor on a 3 phase air compressor?
Ive got the possibility og getting a huge air tank from a shop (+80gal), buts its 3 phase and the either the motor or compressor is going bad. My shop at my house is only wired for a 220v air compressor. Would it be worth it to basically srap the 3 phase motor/compressor and put on a 220v motor/compressor? If so, where can I find a matched set that will work together? Or would it be best to get a Husky 60gal 220v compressor from Home Depot for ~$400? Looking for the cheapest option here. Thanks!!
moreResolved Question: Husky Air Compressor question?
I'm thinking about buying a Husky 11 Gal air compressor (Home Depot) that comes with a tool kit. I would like to have an air compressor around the house and have some doors that I will be painting myself soon. Does anyone have an opinion on this brand of compressor or any painters out there that can give me some advice or suggestions on spray painting? I've never done it before and would like to learn how. The compressor I'm looking at says it has a "sprayer" among the tools that come with it, should I look at buying any additional accessories?
