My AC compressor

[farcticox1]

It's something I welded myself, It's 1/8" stainless tubing and flat plate ends, the ends are slightly recessed so the weld holds them more captive. Rating? not sure, but it will have a safety relief blow off valve.

A rated tank would be best, definately hydro test the one you have made before using air. The flat ends aren't ideal as the metal will bend when pressure is applied and can cause the weld to crack without warning.

I've been using it at 125psi for a few years

Hydraulic pressure test, without any doubt.

Compressor up and running, giving a steady 135psi output, that's the maximum the regulator will output.

Close to target, looks good as well.

Got a nice little fire extinguisher to add as an extra tank on the low pressure side, so basically an extension of the gun chamber.

Very nice.

Are you going to paint it?

Interesting to use something like what you got for low pressure air tank for air launcher in my weapons. Now that I see it, I remember that my friend has a couple of these in disuse ...

And it's rated at 300 psi

Enough for my needs, and FREE !! :bounce:

Got all the parts to do the mods to the compressor, dump valve for the suction side, filter for the out let and accumulator for the low pressure side. This is the new layout.
