Great build! I like when things are built and restored vs bought. I am building a 5 hp w/ a vertical 30 gallon used tank. Oh and a tip when soldering, use flux on the pipe and fitting and apply heat to the fitting and the solder will run into the fitting and coat the entire surface between the fitting and the pipe. This will give the strongest and leak free join.

Thanks for the tip! System is still running with no leaks or issues, changed to a 60 gallon vertical once I noticed this smaller tank had pinholes in the bottom and I didn't want to risk my safety. But that tank was also used and restored just like this one.

I just finished rebuilding my air compressor and due to the modifications i've got a bunch of fittings involved and because of this I wanted something better than teflon tape making sure everything is leak free. I ended up buying a tube of "pipe dope" aka RectorSeal "T Plus 2" and the stuff worked flawlessly. I will never use teflon tape on my compressed air system ever again.

Pipe dope is worlds better than Teflon, overtime pretty much every piece of tape was replaced with pipe dope when they started leaking.

Oh, and please buy yourself a crimping tool. I can guarantee a simple tug will pull those wires out of the connectors. I used to do the same but after getting a proper Klein Tools VDV200 crimper, it's like night and day. It crimps so well i can hang 40lbs of weight off a connector and it wont come loose.

If you wanna save on fittings sweat the joints everywhere you can. I did this my second go around building one of these cooling loops and it saved me 120 on fittings vs my similar 200 the last time. Now if your sweating joints and creative you can make some interesting parts for very little. I know one step was gonna run me 70 the first go and sweating it it was closer to 20.

This tank ended up having a pin hole in the bottom, I got an upright 60 gallon tank and hydro tested it to 230 psi and all went well. Has been running flawlessly for 7 months now. I agree with hydrotesting your compressors every few years, takes an hour or so and could save your life.

@@fix206 Less floor space AND they are easier to drain due to the shape of the bottom vs a horizontal where it pools along the entire bottom, I am now a firm believer that vertical is the way to go.

So does that coil of copper sitting in the water end up filling up with condensed water? And by the look of things, once it fills up, its going to back flow into your pump
@HardAngle
@HardAngle 11 күн бұрын
I have a few hundred hours of runtime on this pump now and have drained many gallons of water out of the water separator but when I took this system apart to move and turned the coil over not a drop came out, so apparently the pump flows enough to ensure any water is pushed into the water separator.

I was just watching fix206’s video on this and like you mention he uses the water pressure relief valve and I’m trying to cut cost on the water cooling system and that thing by itself is $100. Do you just purge it at the separator? I’m wondering if I can add a separator and the coil to my setup and be done.
@HardAngle
@HardAngle 13 күн бұрын
I purge the separator every few hours of runtime and pull about a pint of water out every time, I do the tank daily and have yet to have more than mist come out for a second or two, his setup was a lot more autonomous but mine has given me dry air for hundreds of hours of sandblasting so far.

Again.... $400 in copper and fittings, literally half of the cost is for the cold dry air, the compressor was around $570, couldn't buy this kinda of air output for that low anywhere these days. But I do still respect someone that can build something out of used parts for as cheap as possible.
