Junk Black Diamond compressor fixed with Harbor Freight compressor

[@John-vf9py]

Get rid of that PVC pipe. When not if it goes, it will fragment and can really injure someone. Run HEAT PEX, not the reg red for hot water, use the oxygen barrier heat PEX for baseboard heat. It has a higher pressure rating. Great stuff and simple to install with great end results

[@worksonit1]

Been thinking about changing my pvc out too. Been going strong for 7 years on the outside of my house with no probs yet :) (fingers crossed)

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

A lot of these compressor types that have the inlet and outlet on the head have the ability to flip the head 180 degrees so you can move the outlet to the other side of the unit.

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

These are the types of videos, that get me going with making my own KZbin videos ! 🤙🏼

[@RustyPumpkinRanch]

Putting the compressor tank on rubber feet really helps with noise.

[@user-sh3ms1hw5p]

should have used angle metal for compressor brace no weld

[@moonolyth]

Yup! got a free compressor Black Max. 80gal. blew the piston out the side also. Just picked up an HF. 5hp compressor pump they are not going to carry anymore... and will be getting a Vevor 5hp motor spending under $200 total unless I need valves and such. The original setup had a 5hp motor on it.. all original but it says, 6.5 compressor on the tank.. go figure. great job, thanks for the detales.

The bleeder is called an unloader valve

[@Charles-lane277]

Not gonna lie I've heard great things about the harbor freight compressor pumps and they're quite quick too

[@Comm0ut]

Saylor-Beall are the last company making their pump heads in USA but they're not cheap. Keep an eye out for used ones as they sell the rebuild parts. They're light years better than consumer crap. I hunted for years before scoring a two at auction. Look for "receiver tanks" used at auctions etc. Most people don't know they exist outside of industry. More air storage volume is a wonderful thing.

[@mrmotofy]

But they've been copied

[@Comm0ut]

@@mrmotofy Their patents would have expired decades ago but the quality of copies is questionable so I'd not buy them new. I'll use consumer crap compressors too but I get them free or cheap because they're broken then fix them for pocket change. I scatter those around my garages and shop buildings for air everywhere. I won't buy anything questionable new because the best bang for my buck is used industrial equipment which is easy to work one (often much easier than the consumer junk). BTW I got two free compressors from my recycle center where the guy looks out for me because I personally hand him my good scrap aluminum instead of putting it in the company bins. It's perfectly legal since its my property and many recycle center workers collect scrap at home too. Treat people right and it pays off.

[@kyandkamsdad]

Take the head off the compressor and turn it 180 , the bolt the head back on . Then you have a straight shot from the air output to the tank .

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

Ur one of the main reasons why I started my KZbin channel sir !

[@Boost_Addict]

Nice setup! I just relocated my compressor to the basement and run a hose outside to the garage. Can’t even hear it out side. I have a 21 gallon central pneumatic 25.hp I have add to auxiliary tanks to make my capacity 33 gallons .7g kobalt n a 5 g porter cable tanks .

[@TimMcArdle]

Thanks! It's definitely nice having it somewhere where you don't have to listen to it!

[@multicyclist]

PVC pipe should never be used for compressed air. Where it is exposed to UV light it will deteriorate over time and has been known to explode and seriously injure people. I would imagine the stuff buried underground would be OK since it does not get exposed to UV light.

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

Ur inspiration boss, you inspire me to keep going with my KZbin videos 🤙🏼

[@Donnelly369]

I have the same compressor for 3 months runs good I have a 4 year canadain warranty. It was horrible going direct from the cylinder I'm going to be hooking up another my old 60 gallon from the top pipe going out .I've ran it an hour and a half straight put cool the tank is never hot again. Or makes a ton of water a bit but no water in my air dry I'm putting a transmission cooler on soon

[@Donnelly369]

A coil with water back to the tank no heat and compressor

[@gezchugg3551]

A46 is for 46" that'll stretch to 48". Just spit balling here btw. Good video, +1 for you from Oz.

Matco for the win please make more video ty they're therapeutic from life 😏🤙🙌 where do I sign up hahah

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

We for real need to make a collaboration! That be so awesome !

I can dig holes for ya bud! LOL. We needed some of you concrete guys on some road patches we did recently. Man, I'm too darn out of shape to be dragging mud around! Lol

[@jefflynn4079]

Where do you buy the check valve for the tank that has the side port for the line to the cutoff switch?

[@TimMcArdle]

I believe I found mine on eBay.

[@jefflynn4079]

@@TimMcArdle ok. Thanks

[@debbieandmarkhoward2644]

Another job well done.

[@adrianalbite5761]

What hp is the motor. I have a Dewalt and its garbage. It had a 3hp motor and it had trouble running. Eventually it burned out they sent a new motor and it kept doing the same thing. I put a new pump thinking it was the pump locking up and nothing keeps having the same problem. I've replaced the check valve and the on/off switch with no luck. I've replaced everything except the paint on the tank

[@TimMcArdle]

This one is a 3.7 hp.

[@williamallen7836]

HF normally has 2 pumps on the sales floor. One needs a 3HP motor (the one in this video), and the other needs a 5HP. So a 3 HP motor will work just fine. Just make sure to follow the instructions to determine the correct size pulley so you don't spin it over it's rated RPM. It's an easy calculation, and tractor supply has an assortment of pulley sizes for a good prices.

[@nathanclarke5040]

You just need to turn your welder down to a lower voltage 11:45

[@09ironman1]

Great video. Part # so I can get one. Thanks much

[@TimMcArdle]

I think they have done away with this compressor but now offer a V configuration one that is equal to it. Check their website and it will show the couple pumps they offer now. Thanks!

[@oakmars8062]

Would you know if this kind of compressor could be converted to run off a gas motor instead of the electric motor that comes installed with it?

[@TimMcArdle]

I couldn't see why not. You would probably just need to make sure you have it spinning the right rpm. Make sure you have a regulator as well if some sort.

[@philliphall5198]

You can use air control or bull wipe cable system

[@V8SKULLS]

P.V.C. PIPE FOR AIR LINES ARE SO FREAKING DANGEROUS. IVE SEEN THEM BLOW UP, AND ITS NOT PRETTY

[@the_jason_factor]

Interesting. From my understanding, Black Diamond is actually made by Sanborn who is a huge manufacturer of air compressors and actually make them for a whole bunch of brand name companies who slap their name on them. In fact Black Max was made/owned by Sanborn but they stopped the black max line when Sanborn was bought by Coleman. I also thought black diamond has a 2 year warranty. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap_KfqKNlq6eatE

[@TimMcArdle]

It is! We had a black max from the early 90s and it ran like a champ. That's why I went with the black diamond. Didn't have the same experience with it obviously!

[@the_jason_factor]

@@TimMcArdleYa that sucks. I wouldn’t be too worried about buying a black diamond but sucks you had a lemon. Awesome that you were able to get it running again relatively cheap! 👍

[@philliphall5198]

The 40 year old b/d stuff is great but no way would I buy there junk now HF got them beat period

[@AliVapeReviews]

just swap the pump before the two years

KZbin is full of people doing things the wrong way. You just have to watxh several videos and weed out the bozos.

All those fancy tool boxes you have and no tube bender? Maybe invest in the right tools and less in the boxes to hold the tools you do not have.

Send some $$ over to him so he can buy all the fancy tools you feel he should have since you're concerned.

[@MarkK01]

@@rellt5498 Nope sorry. I just can not stand watching creators making how to videos and not showing the correct way to do it. I could not live with myself if I created a video showing someone how to do something and they get hurt because I showed how i might do something that is not safe. He is being paid to make that video and the least he can do is show the correct way to do it using the proper tools.

[@alfredocuomo1546]

Dude that copper tube is rated for 1000 psi, that's the least of your issues. Your PVC Schedule 40 3/4" is only rated at 480 psi, but the older it gets the more brittle it will become.
