Air Compressors

Looks good. My 5 year old omega ate the belt last week, figured good time for oil change. Drained water, 1/2 quart if that. Its been three months if not more. Daily use too.
Its in a closet,so noise is down. Come warmer weather im putting air intake outside through the wall. Takes 30% of the noise outside.

Frank, this is very quiet compared to old one. That went to neighbor's house yesterday in the bucket of his Kubota!
First time it ran made me think of the vacuum pumps for milking in our cow barns! But they were real loud.

Need some advice again.
I would like 2 couplers; one for a hose reel, the other to hook short hose to for inflating stuff, etc.
At first I thought 2 regulators, one at 90, other maybe 60 or 70. Not sure now, due to space. Maybe just use the 1 regulator with 2 couplers??

Existing regulator with coupler attached:

Thought to keep one regulator, but 2 connections. Will keep it out of the way from sight glass, and oil changes:

I'd like to raise the switch 4", but it would mean replumbing the copper line to the switch.

Might do two couplers here, but go out a side bung to feed the hose reel. Simple and put a ball valve in it.

Personally I don't like the look of you holding the fittings there, too much leverage when the hose pulls sideways. Or maybe I'm just too impatient when the hose doesn't want to cooperate with me.

you could always do something like this. Where i have the brass 90 that goes into the real, you could simply replace that with a tee, then ball valve and quick connect for your second hook up.
