Thank you for a simple straight forward video

You’re welcome 👍🏽

I’ve heard you never want to use teflon tape on the fittings especially the high flow couplers because the tape can break off into the air hole. I am trying to get a real answer on this.

[@HaiTran]

I’m sure that’s possible but if you tape properly, that’s not really suppose to happen in the first place. Also if it does happen, it wouldn’t matter for my applications so I personally am not worried about it.

Excellent advice

Glad it was helpful!

Why not 3/8 over 1/4. 3/8 hose would be better, too. Dont you think?

[@HaiTran]

Larger for everything is going to be better. But from my experience, it’s not going to be a perfect setup in general because if you use a wide variety of different tools, you’ll eventually run into something that you’ll have to re-convert back to the standard industrial size. I’m in that boat. I have a connection point that is only available in industrial size so I have to jump through hoops with a few different conversion connectors just to make things work.

How has this upgrade paid off? Notice any different?

[@HaiTran]

For me, this is a future proof upgrade. I'm not using the compressor too much right now and not with air intensive tools so won't realistically see a difference. The increased air flow is logically there, but only noticeable under certain uses.
