Pump pipe

[Andyy]

Just picked up a 150ltr compressor today spare repair, it has a bad pipe that runs from pump to tank that is leaking badly. What is the name of this pipe and fittings please someone tell me. Been searching and cant find the name for it.

Delivery pipe

easy to fix, if it has a cooler I'd be using an hydraulic hose, plenty of used 1's about and any kinda fitting u want is out there.....new hose ur sorta size should be about a 10'er....
nice and flexi compared to original and no need for major accuracy when making a new replacement lengthwise......

What is a cooler on a compressor?

 

[rtbcomp]

It's called an intercooler, it's usually a casting with fins on that connects to the cylinder head and the delivery pipe connects between the intercooler and the tank.

Ah got you now. Yeah think l will go with the hydraulic hose rather than the copper pipe that's on it the now which is leaking anyway.

The copper pipe is best as it will get rid of more heat, the less heat into the receiver the better, warm air stops water filters working

Easy enough to replace the delivery pipe using copper plumbing pipe & fittings. The connections are usually standard BSP & the copper pipe will stand up to the heat better than hydraulic hose.

and dissipate the heat better

How hot does the pump and delivery pipe get? I haven't had a belt driven compressor before only direct drive ones.
Managed to get the copper delivery pipe sorted but as its starts getting to pressure it seems too be leaking about the cylinder head. So was thinking about getting a new pump for it.
Its a 150L tank which looks to be in very good condition and the motor is working fine, my thinking is it will be more economical to just buy a new pump rather than a new compressor.

They get quite hot, not sure what temp but I wouldn't like to connect a rubber hose to it!

Why don't you find the source of the leak instead of buying a whole pump. If it's getting up to pressure the pump is probably ok. It might be just the head gasket & you can make one from gasket paper or a cornflakes box.

Yeah after reading quite a lot last night I think I will go down this route. Its worth a try anyway. Will pick up gasket paper and liquid gasket today.
Thanks for the replies

It's also worth cleaning the valves while you have the head off, there will probably be a couple of gaskets, replace them both, they are an easy fix
