What is the logic behind the "minimum 25 ft. from compressor" requirement? I'm only looking for a dryer for filling the tires I use on my race car.

I may not be the expert on this. But I feel that the logic behind having the Filter/Dryer is for the moisture in the airline created by the compressor to condense before reaching the Dryer. All airline drops should be routed from 8" risers from the mail airline. And the main airline sloped toward the compressor so the water will make its' way to the tank. So it can be drained off. If the Filter/Dryer is mounted right off te compressor, it'll surly fill up with water.. Just my thoughts... Here's a link to a diagram and further information about setting up proper airlines... By the way, I and not associated with said company and do not endorse the products they sell. But the information on their webpage is very useful... https://cached.tptools.com/Images/airline-piping-diagram.pdf https://www.tptools.com/tech-metal-piping.dlp OldCarGuy

The power cord is 8 feet and the air hose is rated at 25 feet but that is not realistic. It will pull the compressor around before you could stretch it that far. Overall this is a great little compressor but the air hose is a little bit of a hassle. It would have been better if they put a longer heavy duty cord on it and a shorter hose. If you were to mount this stationary then the air hose would be fine. Specs are at viaircorp dot com.

If you expect to run the buffer continously, you'll need a 5 HP, 2-stage electric compressor. For gas, more like 8 HP 2-stage. You might be able to get away with a little smaller unit, but it will get hot from being overworked.

I own a Campbell Hausfeld 15Amp Compressor which cannot be powered by this Generator (even when new). The reason is the very high starting current needed to get the compressor up to proper operating speed. Even if you can manage to start the compressor when your generator is new , this will dramatically shorten the life of your generator which was not designed for such high overloads (even though they may last for only 5 to 10 seconds or less). You will also find that after the compressor reaches its' pressure cutoff point , it can only be restarted if you let all of the air out of the compressor. Please note that this is not a design defect in the Champion Generator per se , the same applies to every such generator in this capacity range. Please not also , that if such a compressor is plugged-into a 15Amp duplex outlet this will usually cause the 15Amp Circuit Breaker (in the breaker box) to operate. Del G. Cartwright

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

that compressor is fine the nail gun operates at 120 max. I was running the gun around 100 to 110 psi No Problems.

I know what it is rated as but I only take it to 90 PSI. I use it for little jobs when I don't want to hall my 100 ft of compressor hose with quick connects. Also got rid of their hose and bought a short compressor hose with correct fittings for connection to tank and a quick connect to connect my other air tools. This unit like the rest has only a tire filling fitting. With those changes it does the job. I think the company would be smart giving a better hose choice for a few pennies more. Good Luck!

The compressor can pump to 150 PSI and since 125 is less than 150 it will fill a tire to that pressure. But to keep the tire at 125 psi implies the compressor is continuously connected to the tire and that is not possible.

Just saw your more accurate question. Any compressor delivering between 60 and 100 psi will work. Another number to look for on the compressor is 4.1 to 6.9 BAR. Mikita makes a good unit.

I have 33" tires and have no problem filling from 15 PSI to 28 PSI for highway use quite quickly. This is a REALLY good unit for the money. There are some YouTube videos that may help you decide. I would guess that you would have no problem airing up 35s in less than 20 minutes.

This compressor was made strictly for airing up tires. It has battery clamps to car battery, no converter to run off an outlet. The valve stem tool does not come off, not interchangeable with other tools. It will inflate a car tire in under 2 minutes, so for the intended purpose it works great. I've not tried it on smaller things so don't know the ratings of cfm. I suppose a person could custom modify it if one knew how to attach fittings.

Sent my dryer back. It worked fine, but my wife wanted more air flow. But best I recall, it was either 8' or 10' long. Not your typically short 5-6' cord.

For the first time/ new to the trade person this is a good question. " they assume we all know a air compressor is needed. that being said I would visit you tube and do your homework. all your questions should be answered there. its what helped me a great deal. pay special attention to the cutting heads and consumables. the more you know the longer they last. also study what kind of regulator you may want. this one works for a short time but you get what you pay for. good luck have fun.

I don't know the specific requirements for the compressor. I use my nailer with a small 6 gallon Porter-Cable portable air compressor and it works great. This is an excellent tool that has given me good service. I hope this helps.

Other than contacting the Manufacturer, I really don't know unless you go to a store that sells air compressors and see if maybe they can make or have a hose in stock or they can steer you in the right direction. Good Luck!

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.
