Air Compressor

[73novaguy]

Thanks guys for the recomendations. Parsons J... Did you just go through and sweat the joints in the copper like you would for normal water useage in the home? What kind of rating are we talking about when using copper for PSI? Will it handle 190 PSI? I am lookin into the Sears Craftsmen Professional, with the 80 gallon, 7 HP motor! It is basically the same as what Ralph is running excpet higher SCFM ratings for continous use tools! What do you think Ralph? I could buy the one you have and put it outside the garage for noise purposes, but in Wisconsin, it gets a little chilly in the winter months! So I wouldn't want to put the motor under that kind of stress! Could you maybe build a box around the air compressor that is filled with insulation and an access hole to cut down on noise and still be able to access the controls withouit having the remove the whole box. Of course you would need some sort of ventilation! Just curious cause the 80 gallon is right in the 900 dollar range and I didn't want to spend that kind of money unless I NEEDED to. Keep the comments coming guys! I love hearing about other guys garges for ideas of my own!
