if you move the tank to the farthest part of the system it will balance the system out. FYI compression fittings do not require sealant tape or dope. the feral seals inside the pipe. think of it as a crush washer, only can be reused in the same fitting, if ever overtightened then it needs to be cut off a new nut and feral seated in.
@@ELDESTBuilds i hear that. after the main tank heat isnt an issue, lot of people using pex pipe. its affordable as long as you stay away from the sharkbite fittings.
I used the rapid air 1/2 kit from Northern Tools. I like the blocks for the air fittings. The couplings are pretty simple and hold well. The tubing lasts about two years before developing cracks, but it's pretty easy to spice in a new piece, or I just replace the whole line. m.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200367525_200367525
@@ELDESTBuilds I'm a construction foreman, i own pex tools and have a bucket of leftover fittings. pipe is cheap. now i'm stacking up leftover lumber to build small shop. benefits of having to clean up after the trades come through.
"Hee-hee-hee!" Just in the first two minutes, your statements of frustration show you to be a fun (and too, reasoning) human being. I'm going to enjoy the rest of the video now, but thanks for opening with some (real life) humor.
great video ....im thinking of doing the same but i have a great working 20 gallon compressor that i want to hook up to a 60 gallon tank...the 20 gallon can run on 220 and is oil lubercated..

Thanks, I'll try moving it when I relocate the big one. It was such a mismatch of fittings and pipes, there were so many leaks, had to use it.

Thanks, no plan goes according to plan when the first fitting doesn't fit.

Version 2.0 is using fittings and 1/2 pex style line from the rapid air maxline kits. Required less fittings to get all that mess together.
Oh yeah. Thank you so much.
You're welcome
When adding a auxiliary tank to your compressor, did you have to turn the air switch down? Because the auxiliary tank is near the primary compressor.
Air switch?
3/8 pipe
Thanks
Just go form the bigger tank to the smaller then out! no need for the part going up
The part going up is to the air distribution manifold throughout the shop
@@ELDESTBuilds Right so the other one with the gauge id not needed
That part is not needed, currently use it to hang hoses on
@@ELDESTBuilds right!
