60gal compressor mod

[ericher69]

My 60gal 6.5hp compressor is in a tight corner therefore I had a hose made to replace the stock 1/4" pipe plug.

As you can see from the pic a ball valve is at the end of the 36" hose with the original 1/4" pipe plug as a redundant safety.

Should not have any issues now changing the oil twice yearly!

Good idea! I might just steal that one.

Be my guest; total cost was $22.00

This also let's the oil flow into a container instead of down the machine side.

This is the main reason I want to do the mod, the easier the oil is to change the more likely that I'll keep up with it.
