Default Re: Air Compressors and Blow Guns

Yep, about 5 years ago I bought a H/F auto drain, and the hose blew apart the first time it cycled. My friend had a horizontal air compressor tank explode. He said it blew about 30 feet into the air. The bottom was rusty and split from end to end.

I usually lower the pressure switch shut off pressure to about 80 lbs. I don't usually need more than that, and it's easier on the pump and motor.
