We've all been there with the smaller compressors to start out with. I too changed all my couplers and plugs to the Milton-V, high-flow fittings, just has you have there. Unfortunately, I found that those pretty anodized aluminum couplings get torn up from pneumatic impact use. I've since had to go through and replace all the plugs with one's made of "steel" from Milton, which are also Milton-V, high flow fittings. Hope your compressor project is coming along well.

One thing that will help you alot will be changing all of the connectors out with high flow. I see your hose going into your tank doesn’t have a high flow male end. Also possibly adding a auxiliary tank. That will greatly increase your scfm for pretty cheap. Great videos!!!

Great catch. This was just the beginning. I will keep your idea in mind. Thanks for watching.

Did you check the air flow rating on your swivel? If it doesn’t flow like the new fittings and couplers, you likely haven’t improved anything at all. The flow rate is always only as high as your most restricted component will allow.

I have not. I need to. I love the swivel so much. I need to find a high flow version if this one is restricting. Thanks for watching.

Hi Neighbor! Those look pretty cool. I have a Craftsman 25 gal compressor. I just use it for a brad nailer, inflating tires, and blowing dust out. All the air leaks out pretty quickly, so this makes me want to take the attachments off and reseal them with teflon tape. Hope all is well in the foothills.

@TheGarageEngineer 4 жыл бұрын

Glad you checked in. We need to have lunch sometime when things settle down. If teflon tape doesnt stop the leak, Check the inside of the coupler. That was my problem. Let me know if you have issues. I also had a check valve leak,but that is a whole other story.

I use them for my 12v 5 gallon home built compressor.

the hi flo fittings increase your performance a lot your swivel because it is a ninety reduces performance a lot air flow is only as good as the weakest part of your system

@TheGarageEngineer Жыл бұрын

True. But I love the swivel action. Maybe I need to look for a high flow swivel. THanks for watching.

Why do most people who do how to videos put the teflon tape on wrong?

@TheGarageEngineer Жыл бұрын

Because there is a camera on them.

@WindRider1 Жыл бұрын

@@TheGarageEngineer I got to thinking too, sometimes the camera films things as if you were looking in a mirror. Enjoy the videos.

Bigger hole will = to your compressor coming on more frequently cause your using more air.

@Helmuesi911 7 ай бұрын

Your entire setup must be high flow in order to increase your air output. Starting from the compressor to the tool, every connection has to have a high flow attachment or you’re negating the purpose of the upgrade.
