best taken from tank. if u can get a half inch bsp filter regulator fitted. full power and no restriction and use 10mm hoses not 8mm

Thanks av took the plug off the side of the tank is 20mm wide is that a 1/2 fitting ? Am using a Clark 10m 10mm I/D with 1/4 nut fittings

yep 19.2mm or 3/4 is a half inch bsp size

Thanks for the help : ) do you have any links to anywhere that sells the bits a need ? Thanks again

So would a buy a 1/2 bsp reg/drain off connect that to the tank and fit a 1/2 to 1/4 reducer on the other side so a can connect the 10mm hose ?

Did the plug come out ok ??? thinking of doing this aswell to couple two into another 200lt tank I have giving me 28 cfm and 400lt of storage

 

[Vinny030]

Was tight as but used a decent allen key and gave it a good hot with a club hammer came out no probs that way

 

[brightspark]

plugs and sockets for the other end using whip tail or direct plug in to airtool and a full pressure outlet on tank with a ball valve and c plug for high volume use without restriction

 

[Vinny030]

Only be using it for the impact wrench for now so was thinking of fitting a 1/2 bsp tee with a 1/2 snap off body on either side then 13mm hose and a 3/8 pcl at the tool end and just use the regulator on the pressure switch to set it to 119 maybe would that work ok ?

I have a Clarke impact gun and found it useless. I even tries piping up with 25mm hose and it was still useless

 

[Vinny030]

Gonna get a shot of an ingrasoll rand wrench and try it on it once av put the 13mm tube on see how that works

I gave up on air impact gun and got a mains one! Use a ingersol rand one at works and it works well

relieved this one its 3/4 drive and takes no prisoners

Am just hoping it works surly a 3hp compressor should be able to power an impact wrench to remove nuts on a car ?

 

[madkayaker]

It's probity the gun. Just looked them up and they seam micky mouse the one I've seen in 310nM I can do more than that with a ratchet!

yes depending on how much torque the gun can produce in ft lbs /higher the better

 

[Vinny030]

Well hopefully it's the gun and not the compressor would adding a propane bottle help ? Give me abit more air

theres no need .one tank will be fine as long as the outlet and pipes arent restricted in bore

 

[madkayaker]

Not if the guns useless. I tried bigger hoses etc before ditching my Clarke one and found it made no difference. The gun I use at work uses 8mm hose and it never struggles. The hole workshop is only piped in 8mm
