hydraulic / pneumatic to full pneumatic air compressor conversion

[id_unavailable]

I have a slight problem with water in my airlines, no i have a huge problem with water. I found out that a grinder will spin faster on water than it will on air. I decided to build a trap. I am a cheap b..sterd so coughing up 30 bucks was a little difficult but I had no scraps laying around to make it. I only paid 80 bucks for the 220 5hp compressor. so off to lowes I went.

I ended up using black pipe (believe me pvc was calling my name and still would consider it). I know it rusts as it does at my work but traps seem to get it out.

I tied it all together and mounted to my wall in my cramped/ unorganized work dungeon. I placed it at an angle in hopes that the slight rise would trap more water. I acquired a 3/8 filter set up from work that was going to be trashed. There is a bolt on one of the bowels to stop a leak. I still need to find a way to block the hole in the bottom of the other but the price was right.

I needed a fender washer and found 2 at my house that literary cost 1 penny. I do not think the government will miss it judging by there spending habits.

I am also going to make a intake filter. It smelled like bondo when i emptied the tank and it was muddy. The compressor is in a basement away from my carport / work area. Its a good place to keep it running cool but a bad place for mosture.
