This is what I had planned to replace my aging twin 20/25hp DeVilbiss units and 20 year old 120G tanks before I lost the lease on my building.

Way too expensive for me, but cool.

It will be the last compressor you would ever need. Well worth the money if you want the quality....Especially if you paint

Myself, I bought a Saylor Beall when I started my shop. Nothing special, but very accommodating for anything I wanted to do.

CFM Displaced @175 psi
5 hp motor
23 cfm @175 lbs
CFM Delivered @175 psi= 17.3
made in the USA
Ran that for 10 years in my shop, and never a bit of trouble. More air than 4 guys could use at one time.
The vertical was the best because it took up less ground room. I had a 6 bay shop, and one storage room for parts.
Paid 2,000.00 delivery included. I got the deal going to a trade show. Along with radiant heat, which vented the exhaust outside.

Where you have the compressor, did you want a connection on each side?

No, just one side is fine. I'm usually the only one using a air tool.
I like my Campbell, a little noisy though. A two stage would be nice.

I love mine. Helped a lot,....in building my Cobra.
I had a "Group Buy" years ago, so I received mine really, really....cheap.

For the house, I have a simple Craftsman porta with a 33 gallon tank
For anything else, especially if I was painting a car again, I would have no less than what I posted above. For me, I'd rather have too much of a unit than not enough.

Yes. Then goes up around 12" then horizontal to near the garage door.

I primed & block sanded my car at home, but painted it in a body shop where my brother-in-law worked. Long time ago now, in 2001.

I'll see if I can take photo's tomorrow, have my wife take the camera to work to download then she'll send them to this tablet.
I agree to have dedicated paint line and another for air tools.

I have an old Binks reg that I need a new diaphram, so I'll see if I can still get a kit for it.

A few months ago I tried to drain the air compressors drain valve I put in many, years ago but it's frozen. I really don't want to try too hard and break it. I also need to make or buy rubber isolation feet for the three legs. The vibration sound on the concrete. NOISY !
The old one's are shot.

Any great pads you guys recommend ?

I was too slow, you got back before I did.

I'll be back in a few minutes about your diagram.

But here's one search for iso feet.

Awesome that you made a drawing !

Why not have both regulators in the two vertical pipes, next to the one in the drawing ?
Oh ya, mine are iron pipe too.

easiest way to deal with moisture is a dryer. the hf 400 dollar unit seems to be fine. mine is 3 years old and no problem .
my compressor is set at 120 . for paint i regulate at the gun , hand tools i run 45-60 lbs .

before I sheetrocked my garage I ran copper pipe across the wall and back at a slight angle. Theres a brass valve to let out the water right before the dryer.

Thanks Denny, great job. I'll be back later this afternoon.

Shine, $400 or did you mean $40 ?

Any of these look good ?

400.00 . it is a refrigerated cooler . cool the air after it leaves the compressor and you end the problem .
