I don't know what this thing was supposed to come with, but all there is, is a big hole to thread in some pipe or something. Does anyone have photos of they're setup they can post so I can figure out how to get the air flowing and the grinder grindin?!

Muchos gracias.

the hole you see in the tank is normally either plugged (inspection hole its centered in the tank )or a bleed valve for rapidly draining the tank of air. there should be a place to hook up air lines, filters and hose closer to the top. now the above is for most compressors not all.

the prewired comment means the motor and pressure switch.also i know that is a 220 volt unit, most likely 30 amps but might be 40 or 50. but i recommend wiring with a plug like was said because code requires a shut off means and a plug qualifies. as well as it could be used for a welder, or second oven ( ovens are 40 to 50 amps but dont use all the burners and it would be okay ). and if it is over 50 feet to your panel have it wired in # 8 wire for voltage drop reasons.

NOW GO FORTH AND DO AS I SAY ( read with godly tone ) FOR THE CLUB MASTER ELECTRICIAN HAS SPOKEN

good luck
