Thread: Spot to mount Air Compressor?

Caver, I received a catalogue with the inline regulator you found. It says max working pressure is 90psi!! My stop cock valve looks identical to yours, I'm wondering if it's rated?. I'm a little concerned with the 210psi and am quite surprised the tank is even rated to that. I'm into scuba diving and that's the sort of pressures we run but in a much sturdier cylinder. 210 seems enormous for the type of fittings LR have used? Any thoughts

The stop ball valve I have is rated >300psi. The conquence of failure of the regulator on scuba gear is far greater than on the D3 tank. Worst case just close the valve.
The small reg seems solid and simple so it may well be adequate. I used a slightly more expensive one with a guage and removed the guage. What rating does it give for that one?

The same brass regulator with the guage had the same rating = 90 PSI max. I agree that it all looks pretty sturdy and will adequately cope with the pressure. I released that bung a little fast the other night, went off like a bomb!

As said 230psi can be dangerous. Open valve and vent bfore removing bung!

The max 90psi could be the max psi the regulator can be set at?
Most air supplies are about 150psi.

Just wondering where the air tank is mounted on the d3 so i can plumb in some air fittings?

Under the passenger side, but not as easy as you think.
Beware the maual puts the pressure at 244 psi.

anymore clues, front, back, middle, high or low, is there a drain valve on it or just the bung?

It's fairly obvious if you look underneath. Just a bung doesn't need draining as the D3s compressor has a dryer.
