New Air Setup in Garage

[greenflash00]

Couple months ago I was stretching out the hose to pump up a tire, got bound up and pulled over my compressor. It broke the regulator and shattered all of the gauges so I decided to upgrade my hose system.

50 ft swivel retractable reel mounted to the wall. Shouldn't have any more compressor casualties now. :beer:

Mine doesn't swivel, but my hose reels were some of the best investments I made in my shop.

Nice looking garage!

I have a 33 gallon tank. It still feels inadequate.

 

[AntiHeightPunk]

get a gigantic tank and mount that shit outside the garage

Awesome, I want to do this in the summer!

That's is a nice setup, I like the retractable reel makes it less messy. How does that compressor hold up to the demand of the air tools?

Ive had no problems at all using air tools with it. I would suspect something like a sprayer would be more demanding of a constant flow but its been great for the impact and ratchets.

I have a similar setup and it is convenient. Looks great!

Is the hose PVC or rubber?

 

[TheSinner]

Envious!

I need to get this setup in my garage ASAP, so I can start doing some work on my vehicles.

Sweet I will be ordering one of these!

If any of you guys do order one FYI the end of the hoses on the inlet and outlet are just threaded. You'll need to pick up a female quick connect nipple fitting to hook it into the compressor and a female quick connect coupler for the outlet end for the air tools.

I run industrial hose reals but mount mine to the ceiling with PVC two air water seperators with a drop leg and a refrigerated air dryer and automatic water purge. When porting it helps a ton and keeps moisture out of the lines and increases tool life! OP garage looks clean and well setup.
I also drilled 3 concrete red head anchor studs in the floor then set the compressor on big block Chevy valve springs then bolted down with washers to keep vibration off the floor. So I can joke with the local gear heads and tell them even my air compressor runs .500" of lift! ;-)
And regular PVC pipe is rated at 600 psi I believe. More then I'll ever need. Running 125 but regulated to 90psi.

:rockon::rockon::bowdown: Sounds like the perfect setup!

Nice setup you have. Probably every one of us would love to have that. Or your garage.

It's pvc hose

They work great for the time being but I ended up switching to a rubber hose. My retractable PVC hose was a nightmare during winter months.
