Great video. I am the manufacturer of the pump, thank you very much for sharing our products. If you have any aftermarket problems can contact us to use the manual behind the mailbox. We have found a better shock absorber foot can no longer need a mat. If you need to contact us, in order to thank you for sharing our products, we will give you free of charge. Thanks again.
why is it not recommended to fill a dive bottle ? it stated in this video it takes 10 mins per 1 litre. i have a 3 litre so that would be 30 mins fill. as long as the unit is kept cool it should be fine ?
I have a question regarding the 220/240v model. It says it operates @ 50hertz. Here in America, we operate @60hertz. Most motor appliances do not care. Just wanting to make sure this compressor would be okay with the slightly different frequency. Thank you for your time.
Wingman115 yes but some people use dive bottles to fill there guns. so is this kit good enough to fill a dive bottle ? not everyone has a buddy bottle gun. Some people use the bottles to top up when out in the field
Really glad I watched your video because you include some info I did not know. Was not aware they made these units in 220v which is huge for people that have easy access to a 220v outlet. Thank you!!
Great point about having enough electrical power. If using 117 volts ac, a 15 amp breaker is insufficient based on the power load - be sure to have a 20 amp breaker with no other devices on the line. Also, avoid using a low gauge extension cable that would cause a voltage drop to the compressor - causing overheating. Many thanks for the awesome video!
It was a really good video. I have just received my compressors and have not set it up. Thanks to your video I should have no problems. Thanks! Bob Lachapelle
Very useful demo and explanation. I have just taken delivery of this model pump (240v) and it's true what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words. Glad to view this before I give the pump its first run. Good emphasis on bleeding the air off before switching off. I look forward to viewing your proposed videos on long-term use including pump maintenance. Many thanks.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but if you keep pressure in the auxiliary tank, say more than 500 lbs, it will help to keep condensation off of the tank.
Great informative video nice to know that one of these Chinese compressors is actually worth the money can't wait for your video on how this compressor is holding up so far so good thanks again for the info
You need to connect the probe from the thermometer to the small hole in the back of the cylinder head. This will then give you a more accurate reading of the pump temperature. Don't let it get over 65 deg C.
Thanks for this video. After much research, I purchased this model as well and wanted to find a UA-cam showing actual usage but in English. I am new to pcp air rifles and feel much more at ease that I made a wise purchase.
Open the moisture and pressure valve before switching on. Then close them after switching on after 30 secs. This gives time for any moisture to be expelled. Open and close the valves in 2 to 3 min intervals to keep expelling the moisture if you do not have a the extra filter system (charcoal, clay/ beads etc... and cotton filters). Someone explained this in another vid hope it helps.
You said you would do a follow up video on this, I tried to look for it and didn't see anything in a title about it. Can you direct me to the video where you did the update? I would like to buy one for myself but I want to see how this one fares. Thanks.
Great video. I've been looking at high pressure compressors for a while now. I'm interested in how long this one lasts. I hope you keep very accurate records as far as how long each fill time is, and start and finish air pressures so we can see what kind of loss or wear we can expect over time and use. I'd also take that new spare O-ring kit to the local parts store and match up spares now, so you know what you need, unless they included part numbers, which I doubt they did since this is made outside the USA. Keep up the great work.
wjf213 sound advice however they will offer you to buy spares from them and thats ok cause they are offering us a product at a great price that the U.S. makers take advantage of us on. like shoebox and air vent. So im ok with the China men trying to sell me spare oRings... BUT SOUND ADVICE. match spares up at hardware store and online to see if you can get a easy source for spares. Id advise using really top shelf oil also. no cheap crude for the babygirl. Also its worth to mention that using bottled distilled water could help add longer life to our new sweetheart instead of using hard ol tap water. 99cents a gallon is worth the extra life in my book. Pamper your best girls and they will do you good for alot longer than if you just treat them like common dolls
Wingman115 good video @ wing man.. [[[PLEASE DO A indepth detailed Video on the Rebuild when the time comes "hopefully a long while from now" but it will come -which is normal wear for hpa comps- So please just remember us then to take the time to document the rebuild...Thanks Sooo Much...Good Day Sir'
Great little pump. Thanks for making the effort to post this. I ended up buying a 'clone' version that has a brand name of "Aceeagle". I think the components are pretty similar based on one of the tear down vids I saw of this Yong Heng... but I probably should have got the Yong Heng in the end as in hindsight I don't see too many vids about the Aceeagle. My Aceeagle seemed to do the job but I think it's taking a bit longer than it should. It topped up my 4.5l tank from 160bar to a hair under 280bar in about 45 minutes. Still WAY less time than it takes to go to the stupid dive shop and get ripped for £35 to get it filled :) I used a very big bucket with the garden hose overflowing it and my temps stayed at around 45deg. I ordered another inline filter for mine with loads more filter elements..so I will have a second stage filter. It would be great if there was some way to test the purity (dryness and no oil) in the air produced.... You are spot on about maintenance of these ...but I think the spares for these will be cheap as chips. Given that the con rod is aluminium and has no bearing on the crankshaft I think that could be point of failure but I will keep an eye on it. Also...as the piston starts to wear out, I think the air will start getting contaminated more but hey...you cannot beat the price of these things. Hats off to the inventor of these things!
I have received mine today and the female quick disconnect didn't work on my tank so I remove one from my air hose to to check the unit so far so good now have to invest an other $19 for quick disconnect plus $8 shipping. not complaining about it just letting airguner to be aware. once again thank you for the review.
My pump seized after a month of use. The piston seized to the crank shaft and broke the arm. I ordered a new arm and fit a roller bearing into the arm and affixed it to the crank and it works amazing now an quieter.
One other detail on the cooling water tubing. The discharge/return to bucket hose gets so warm that the tubing can collapse. I bought a short piece of reinforced tubing and it does not distort with hot water going through it. I also secure this hose above the water line in the bucket so I can be certain that the cooling water flow is not disrupted.
These Chinese HPA compressors are going to allow a lot more airgunners to enjoy the shooting without all the pumping. My version is 220volts 50 hz. I cut the end off the cord and wired it into a fused disconnect switch with 10 amp fuses. I added a cord to fit my clothes dryer outlet and good to go. Remember this is 240 volt 60 hz on USA power. This means more power 240 volts vs. 220 volts but higher speed on the electric motor at 60 cycles vs. 50 cycles. Be sure to use frozen ice in milk jugs to keep the 5 gallon bucket cool and you can fill a 60 minute SCBA tank in one hour with no overheat issues. Great review Wingman. BTW a similar compressor is on Ebay now for $343. and free shipping. My opinion is that this compressor will pay for itself very quickly but the time it takes to set it up it goes much better filling a large tank that will last a while.
This would never work. The amount of cooling necessary would take something like a motorcycle radiator and a water pump. Even that would probably not be enough for it would still get around 180-200 degrees. This compressor fills fast but that is also why it gets hot fast. There is no way around the heat when you are pushing air at this quantity and PSI. I find by putting ice in the bucket of water works best.
Could always get a small radiator of some kind to hook up, maybe an aluminum intercooler or even heater core from a scrap yard or even new if you can find one cheap. Hook it up as a loop then submerge the radiator into a bucket of water. Or heck, go full bore and get a full automotive radiator and a fan. Biggest issue would be hooking it up but I'm sure there are some radiators out there that could be adapted :)
What do you mean this would never work? Of course it would work. Do you realize how powerful computers are? They're dumping hundreds of watts of energy, especially the overclocked CPUs. This pump uses about 900W, so it should be no problem at all for a computer water cooling system to dissipate that amount of heat. Remember, computer coolers cool the CPU to temperatures much cooler than what this pump can handle. Also, note how much water was in his bucket, and it wasn't even cooled. I have a triple 120mm setup I'm going to test when I get a pump like this. I have no doubt it will be more than enough to cool this pump.
You are supposed to start the motor with both bleed valves open to prevent the stress on the motor, let it run for a second to warm up, then close the valves to begin filling, if you want to maximize lifespan of the compressor
I know this is an old video but thought I would add some info. Any of these lighter duty HPA compressors should be switched on with the high pressure bleed valve open unless starting to fill gun or tank from completely empty or close to it and then once running close the high pressure bleed valve and start filling. Nearly everyone I know now filling bottles are using a one way flow valve like in our PCP guns so you can refill a bottle from 2K to 3K and start up with the high pressure bleed valve open. Alot of airgunners I know with these lighter duty compressors with the automatic shut off has had problems with the setting gauge, relay or the electric motor, also when the compressor is just switched off at 3000psi to 4500psi abruptly the stop can be violent compared to a no pressure shut off. No load starts & stops will increase the life of these lighter duty HPA compressors by being much easier on the relay & electric motor that drives the compressor as well as the pump piston and crank when you eliminate abrupt stops & starts under high pressure.
I just tested my Yong Heng air pump, and it draws more than 17 amps while running and over 22 amps when starting! They must have left off a "1" in the manual because it's rated at 1800W, so there's no way it only draws 8 amps. I decided to test it because it kept blowing the breaker on my power strip.
Hold on, is it 220v or 240v? That is a big difference in houses in the US. Generally, 220v is used oversees and uses a single hot wire and a single neutral running at 50hz. 240v or sometimes in the states referred to as 220v (since a lot of homes are actually 110v instead of 120v) is two legs of the 120v 60hz electricity on opposite phases. You can not run a 220v 50hz device on a US 240v 60hz outlet. Instead you have to get a voltage converter to run a 220v 50hz device on a 120v 60hz outlet.
I have a similar compressor and the one detail you need to mention is that China power is 50 cycles. USA power is 60 cycles. This unit works fine on 120 volt USA vs. 110 volt 50 cycles but be aware that your motor is running almost 20% faster in USA so your power factor is lower. Because of this I avoid going to 4500 PSI and stop at 4000 PSI if you want the motor to last longer. Just get a bigger SCBA tank and plenty of air available.
You should NEVER fill a SCUBA tank or paintball tank quickly, as the faster you push air into the cylinder the hotter it gets. It will appear that you have the tank full, when in fact, the air is just very hot and therefore expanded and under more pressure, until it cools. As soon as the tank cools you will find that it is only about halfway full. The tank should also be submerged in water while filling so that it will prevent fatigue of the tank due to heat and provides a more complete fill of the tank.
Jeff Poleet I notice when I go to paintball stores when I get the bottle home it’s never filled all the way about 2000 psi mine is a 4500 psi bottle and I hate it July being filled half way and then charging me $5 to fill it half way
Awesome thing to review. I have paintball guns and airguns and while I like using CO2 cartridges, as you know they can't provide enough gas for the higher power and faster shooting airguns or paintguns.... not enough volume and not enough shots for extended shooting and they use HPA anyway. I've been curious, but they are often pricey from paintball dealers.
Good review! I'd be interested in a follow-up video about adding an inline water/oil trap. I'm a paintballer and use these tanks all the time. One thing you simply cannot have is any oil going into the tanks. I used to work at a proshop and draining the compressor there every night would get almost a gallon of water and oil each time. So it makes me a bit twitchy that this kind of compressor has no trap. Also, do you air rifle guys use tank covers of any kind? The bottles are epoxy coated to keep the fibers safe but it's always recommended to get a bottle cover to help in case of drops. If the tank gets damage to the epoxy that goes into the fibers, that is, if any of the fibers are damaged at >all< the tank must be decommissioned. Also, there's no safety issues in draining them all the way. :) Enjoyed the video! Will look forward to a follow up.
Looks like they have auto stop and a set pressure models for 110V now. I just got the set pressure model because my tank is rated for 3000 psi. I'm looking forward to hooking it up to my computer water cooling system. Thanks for making this video. You and the manufacturer response sold me on it.
Content Updating awesome. That's actually what I have. Now I need to try and justify buying it since all the fields have all day air and out where I am and the only time we play is out at official places. The break even point would take quite a bit of fills.
What kind of connection come with compressor ? Will I need adapter to fill an Omega tank that has a dinn300 valve and a foster#12 fill connector on hose?
Four months since this video was posted... I'm really looking forward to your next *long term* update! Can you give us a quick tease here on how it has been working for you over the last few months?
google it do your own work, geeze what do you expect him to know where you live and whats around you and who got what ? people amaze me fuckin amaze me, go on amazon they have em
If I were to need to fill several tanks, one after each other, would you recommend running really cold water, like ice water? Another idea i had was instead of running a recirculating water system, I would make an adaptor for my hose so it would use my house water pressure to constantly pump fresh, cold water through the system until i was finished filling my tanks. I have two tanks around 45-50 CI and 3 smaller tanks that fit in the stock of my air rifle that is around 20-25 CI. The larger tanks go in my backpack and has a remote line that can go to any of my airsoft rifles. Thanks for the info in the video. Been thinking of getting one and now I am definitely more interested. It will definitely beat using a hand pump! It would be nice to set it up and record the fill times for all of my tanks so I can hook it up and start a timer, then can do other things while my tank is filling. One thing I might do it build a daisy chain adapter that will allow me to hook up all of my tanks, or at least 3 or 4 at once, then it will fill all of the tanks at the same time. Then you just close the valves ill install on the daisy chain, release the pressure in the line and disconnect the tanks from the system.
I just order one from Walmart.com price with free shipping to me for 329.00 . It looks like a very good made and a kick ass price . Very nice video thank you again you made it very easy to decide on buying one . Save a lot of money too .
I use plastic milk jugs full of ice to keep the 5 gallon water bucket from getting hot. The 1/2 gallon size works great. It takes 2 jugs to fill a 60 minute SCBA tank.
hows it going if you get plastic trash can were you can put the bucket of water in and put ice around that bucket of water it will run a lot cooler for ya so try that and let me no how it worked out for ya have fun shooting and have a great day jim
Any 120v plug in is hooked up to a 15 amp breaker no problem a blow dryer uses 12 amps. This means if you have a 240 v plug in you will only pull 4 amps..
I just tested my Yong Heng pump, and it draws more than 17 amps while running and over 22 amps when starting. They must have left off a 1 in the manual because it's rated 1800W, so there's no way it can be 8 amps. I decided to test it because it kept blowing the breaker on my power strip.
2 years ago you did this and said you would do a follow up in about 3 months. Where is it? I cant find it searching your videos under yong heng, did you title it something else or just didnt do it?
i wonder about the water in the tank with no filter ,or the tiny filter i see guys useing much bigger filter ,i got mine works great put ice in the water with tuxing filter i use 3 filters
Looking for an update on this unit. It's been about 6 months later, for a wee bit now 😉😂 Seen alot of good comments in your thread. Looked at a few videos in your archive too. It's been a journey
With everything going on the last few years been a journey. But it’s still going strong. Keep it cool and change the oil on a regular basis and don’t let it run for extended time and your ok.
Hi great review looks like it's the dogs dangaly bits. I'm thinking of getting one and was wondering if you have done a long term review if not how is holding up.found the UK link very helpful
Wingman115 thanks for your efforts and a great review... Please guide me that what's the difference between autoshutoff and set pressure plate version.. Which one is better in your opinion
Just got my Yong Heng from Walmart. It arrived 6 days earlier than they said it would. The manual is almost worthless. It says to use a gasket where the air filler hose connects to the pump. Does it mean the metal ring/washer with a rubber insert? When I used that, the fitting got tight before that gasket made contact. It came with 2 of them - am I supposed to use 2? I have seen where some Yong Heng units use a white gasket, but mine didn't come with those.
Broskis... I ran this unit for 3 minutes to warm it up and then another three minutes under load WITHOUT H2O COOLING. I am not sure what kind of damage i have done to the unit. I filled a bottle to 3700 psi. Right now I feel the limiting reagent is the torque on the hose nut. PPC I hope i didn't kill the seals. Top of the untt reached 125*F
any word on duty cycle? Im looking for a low cost high PSI pump for air liqufication experiments using the linde cycle. most "reputable" pumps and air pressure multipliers are in the many thousands of dollars range. Not looking for 24/7 process duty, just want something that can run for an hour or a little more at a time without eating itself.
so i cant fill a 80cf scuba tank with this ? why couldnt i , couldnt i just take breaks like run it for 20 mins and let it cool down and run it again, im not getting why you cant fill a scuba tank with this
That's not a cheap compressor, but I guess it's probably going to be cheaper than reloading gear with standard firearms. This looks like a must have if you are really into the airguns.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors When you factor ammo cost the value of Airguns really show. A brick of .22 out here in SoCal goes between 65-80 dollars.
......Do you run the high pressure air thru any kind of "oil & moisture filter"?!... Do you have any issues with getting any oil, or water out of the lines, into your tanks?!...
My Ripley XL9 has a Working pressure of 300 Bar. This would save a lot of trips to the Scuba shop. But oil in the airgun at 300 Bar could diesel Ba Boom! Got to find a strong 350 Bar OIL AND WATER FILTER.
Question, the bleed on the side with the gauge, on the bottom of the block there is the hole for bleeding, but when I have it tight I am getting leaking from it. Do you happen to know why and how I can fix it?
wingman115 would you please update us as to wether or not the pump is still working...how many times you have used it and what have you had to do to it in terms of maintenance etc. That would be great. thanks
Hey I came across this post, looks great. Everyone is filling these up to the 4500 PSI but any time calculator on how long it would fill an emptyish tank (1000psi) to 3000PSI?

Compressor is running fine. I've done about 20 fills with it and no issue's so far.
I've had this air compressor for 18 mouths now. Not had one problem with this product one's. And still runs as good as the day I got it.
Good stuff.
if also let it run a bit after finished with bleeds undone to try it cool with water circulating through it
You need to connect the probe from the thermometer to the small hole in the back of the cylinder head. This will then give you a more accurate reading of the pump temperature. Don't let it get over 65 deg C.
Yes, I seen 2 videos where both Dorks don't know that... GREAT POINT

Biggest issue would be hooking it up but I'm sure there are some radiators out there that could be adapted :)
What do you mean this would never work? Of course it would work. Do you realize how powerful computers are? They're dumping hundreds of watts of energy, especially the overclocked CPUs. This pump uses about 900W, so it should be no problem at all for a computer water cooling system to dissipate that amount of heat. Remember, computer coolers cool the CPU to temperatures much cooler than what this pump can handle. Also, note how much water was in his bucket, and it wasn't even cooled. I have a triple 120mm setup I'm going to test when I get a pump like this. I have no doubt it will be more than enough to cool this pump.
Great...I can't wait to see your results.
You are supposed to start the motor with both bleed valves open to prevent the stress on the motor, let it run for a second to warm up, then close the valves to begin filling, if you want to maximize lifespan of the compressor
A normal household outlet is 15 amps. Just make sure you have nothing heavy duty on the same circuit , like a fridge or A/C unit !!
+pumpkin12162 👍🏻👊🏻
I know this is an old video but thought I would add some info. Any of these lighter duty HPA compressors should be switched on with the high pressure bleed valve open unless starting to fill gun or tank from completely empty or close to it and then once running close the high pressure bleed valve and start filling. Nearly everyone I know now filling bottles are using a one way flow valve like in our PCP guns so you can refill a bottle from 2K to 3K and start up with the high pressure bleed valve open. Alot of airgunners I know with these lighter duty compressors with the automatic shut off has had problems with the setting gauge, relay or the electric motor, also when the compressor is just switched off at 3000psi to 4500psi abruptly the stop can be violent compared to a no pressure shut off. No load starts & stops will increase the life of these lighter duty HPA compressors by being much easier on the relay & electric motor that drives the compressor as well as the pump piston and crank when you eliminate abrupt stops & starts under high pressure.
I just tested my Yong Heng air pump, and it draws more than 17 amps while running and over 22 amps when starting! They must have left off a "1" in the manual because it's rated at 1800W, so there's no way it only draws 8 amps. I decided to test it because it kept blowing the breaker on my power strip.
Hold on, is it 220v or 240v? That is a big difference in houses in the US. Generally, 220v is used oversees and uses a single hot wire and a single neutral running at 50hz. 240v or sometimes in the states referred to as 220v (since a lot of homes are actually 110v instead of 120v) is two legs of the 120v 60hz electricity on opposite phases. You can not run a 220v 50hz device on a US 240v 60hz outlet. Instead you have to get a voltage converter to run a 220v 50hz device on a 120v 60hz outlet.
It's been about 2 years since you made the video. How much have you been using it and how is it holding up?
Great Question 👍
Yet no answer.
Mine lasted a month lol failed catastrophically.
Washer, dryer, and fridge are usually 220v output
The one i ordered a few days a go, is 110v and has outo shut off. With a pressure shut down setting on the gauge. It will arrive to me this friday
I have a similar compressor and the one detail you need to mention is that China power is 50 cycles. USA power is 60 cycles. This unit works fine on 120 volt USA vs. 110 volt 50 cycles but be aware that your motor is running almost 20% faster in USA so your power factor is lower. Because of this I avoid going to 4500 PSI and stop at 4000 PSI if you want the motor to last longer. Just get a bigger SCBA tank and plenty of air available.
I'm interested in your follow up video. Thinking about getting one of these.
+P. T. Anderson Still going strong.
You should NEVER fill a SCUBA tank or paintball tank quickly, as the faster you push air into the cylinder the hotter it gets. It will appear that you have the tank full, when in fact, the air is just very hot and therefore expanded and under more pressure, until it cools. As soon as the tank cools you will find that it is only about halfway full. The tank should also be submerged in water while filling so that it will prevent fatigue of the tank due to heat and provides a more complete fill of the tank.
Jeff Poleet I notice when I go to paintball stores when I get the bottle home it’s never filled all the way about 2000 psi mine is a 4500 psi bottle and I hate it July being filled half way and then charging me $5 to fill it half way
I fill my two 10 liter tanks slowly as to not over work the compressor.
When i fill for others i slowly trickle fill them off the scuba tanks then top em off witg the compressor.
I'm in the process of ordering one of their new 110V with the set pressure shut off feature! Keep us updated on the durability of the unit.
Will do.
Awesome thing to review. I have paintball guns and airguns and while I like using CO2 cartridges, as you know they can't provide enough gas for the higher power and faster shooting airguns or paintguns.... not enough volume and not enough shots for extended shooting and they use HPA anyway. I've been curious, but they are often pricey from paintball dealers.
You can use them for scuba tanks, you just need molecular sieve and carbon filters, there's kits on eBay, AliExpress etc.
check out on our online shop at alibaba.

How hot did the water get, you need to check that to make sure your water is doing the job.
Good review! I'd be interested in a follow-up video about adding an inline water/oil trap. I'm a paintballer and use these tanks all the time. One thing you simply cannot have is any oil going into the tanks. I used to work at a proshop and draining the compressor there every night would get almost a gallon of water and oil each time. So it makes me a bit twitchy that this kind of compressor has no trap.
Also, do you air rifle guys use tank covers of any kind? The bottles are epoxy coated to keep the fibers safe but it's always recommended to get a bottle cover to help in case of drops. If the tank gets damage to the epoxy that goes into the fibers, that is, if any of the fibers are damaged at >all< the tank must be decommissioned. Also, there's no safety issues in draining them all the way. :)
Enjoyed the video! Will look forward to a follow up.
That is nice I didn't know they made anything that small. Thanks for sharing. God bless and stay safe.
+Rich Schwartz Its amazing that a compressor that small can achieve that high of a psi. Thanks for watching.
I do love mine!!! Just wish there was more information on them!
Hello I just got one of these yh where do you get extra burst disk yes I blew one on first fill of a 90 ci /4500 thanks
Fantastic video John, great speaker
+Omar Hammoud 👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the informative video - just bought one!
👍🏻👊🏻
Looks like they have auto stop and a set pressure models for 110V now. I just got the set pressure model because my tank is rated for 3000 psi. I'm looking forward to hooking it up to my computer water cooling system. Thanks for making this video. You and the manufacturer response sold me on it.
Thanks for watching.
Did you ever hook it up and time it for the 3000 PSI tanks? if so, how long did it take and how big was the tank?
I didn't time mine, but it takes about 5 minutes to fill a 62 ci tank to 3000 psi.
Content Updating awesome. That's actually what I have. Now I need to try and justify buying it since all the fields have all day air and out where I am and the only time we play is out at official places. The break even point would take quite a bit of fills.
It did not find the follow-up video. Is this compressor still running?
What kind of connection come with compressor ? Will I need adapter to fill an Omega tank that has a dinn300 valve and a foster#12 fill connector on hose?
Four months since this video was posted... I'm really looking forward to your next *long term* update! Can you give us a quick tease here on how it has been working for you over the last few months?
Still going strong.
Just got my pump, need to know where to get the fitting to adapt the snap on filler to my divers bottle
+Keith Pitman Not sure a quick google search should have a tone of stuff come up.
google it do your own work, geeze what do you expect him to know where you live and whats around you and who got what ? people amaze me fuckin amaze me, go on amazon they have em
If I were to need to fill several tanks, one after each other, would you recommend running really cold water, like ice water? Another idea i had was instead of running a recirculating water system, I would make an adaptor for my hose so it would use my house water pressure to constantly pump fresh, cold water through the system until i was finished filling my tanks. I have two tanks around 45-50 CI and 3 smaller tanks that fit in the stock of my air rifle that is around 20-25 CI. The larger tanks go in my backpack and has a remote line that can go to any of my airsoft rifles. Thanks for the info in the video. Been thinking of getting one and now I am definitely more interested. It will definitely beat using a hand pump! It would be nice to set it up and record the fill times for all of my tanks so I can hook it up and start a timer, then can do other things while my tank is filling. One thing I might do it build a daisy chain adapter that will allow me to hook up all of my tanks, or at least 3 or 4 at once, then it will fill all of the tanks at the same time. Then you just close the valves ill install on the daisy chain, release the pressure in the line and disconnect the tanks from the system.
I would put ice in the water.
Can you not add a pressure regulator either on the pump or tank to control your pressure either out or in?
I just order one from Walmart.com price with free shipping to me for 329.00 . It looks like a very good made and a kick ass price . Very nice video thank you again you made it very easy to decide on buying one . Save a lot of money too .
Is there a way to put a moisture trap on the air input side of pump.Here in the humid south moisture is an issue.
That oil you recommend me??, when Mail sent my compressor, packed it upside down and lost almost all the oil 😕😕😕
Mine didn't ship with oil.. Strange.
I use plastic milk jugs full of ice to keep the 5 gallon water bucket from getting hot.
The 1/2 gallon size works great. It takes 2 jugs to fill a 60 minute SCBA tank.
Chaz Jeepster what kind of hydraulic oil do you use
Could you use engine coolant instead of water?
You don't want ice cold water running through the pump it's will cause condensation and put alot of water in your air
Thank you for the info. Made my mind up on its purchase
hows it going if you get plastic trash can were you can put the bucket of water in and put ice around that bucket of water it will run a lot cooler for ya so try that and let me no how it worked out for ya have fun shooting and have a great day jim
Any 120v plug in is hooked up to a 15 amp breaker no problem a blow dryer uses 12 amps. This means if you have a 240 v plug in you will only pull 4 amps..
I just tested my Yong Heng pump, and it draws more than 17 amps while running and over 22 amps when starting. They must have left off a 1 in the manual because it's rated 1800W, so there's no way it can be 8 amps. I decided to test it because it kept blowing the breaker on my power strip.
why not use radiator fluid to cool down the compressor instead of water?
2 years ago you did this and said you would do a follow up in about 3 months. Where is it? I cant find it searching your videos under yong heng, did you title it something else or just didnt do it?
No follow up yet. Life keeps me busy. Thanks for watching.
i wonder about the water in the tank with no filter ,or the tiny filter i see guys useing much bigger filter ,i got mine works great put ice in the water with tuxing filter i use 3 filters
ir thermometer don't work on bare aluminium , you need a piece of tape on it or a bit of paint ..
Just need to put a better filter/moisture trap inline and looks like it will be okay
Looking for an update on this unit. It's been about 6 months later, for a wee bit now 😉😂
Seen alot of good comments in your thread. Looked at a few videos in your archive too. It's been a journey
With everything going on the last few years been a journey. But it’s still going strong. Keep it cool and change the oil on a regular basis and don’t let it run for extended time and your ok.
When will you be doing the follow-up video?
Hi great review looks like it's the dogs dangaly bits. I'm thinking of getting one and was wondering if you have done a long term review if not how is holding up.found the UK link very helpful
Well it's been more than four years how's the compressor doing
Still working. I only change the oil and air filters.
How do I go below to a description to locate information on how to obtain this compressor
Use google they are all over the internet.
would you reccomend this? what safety precautions are in place.. I see a blow off valve on there is there any other safety aspects?
thank you wingman what do you thing how the Yong being would compare to the shoebox as far as filling time on a 45/90 carbon fiber?
Wingman115 thanks for your efforts and a great review... Please guide me that what's the difference between autoshutoff and set pressure plate version.. Which one is better in your opinion
Well I don't have the auto shutoff so I can't speak to that. All I know is if you keep this compressor cool it will run just fine for the money.
Just got my Yong Heng from Walmart. It arrived 6 days earlier than they said it would. The manual is almost worthless. It says to use a gasket where the air filler hose connects to the pump. Does it mean the metal ring/washer with a rubber insert? When I used that, the fitting got tight before that gasket made contact. It came with 2 of them - am I supposed to use 2? I have seen where some Yong Heng units use a white gasket, but mine didn't come with those.
Broskis... I ran this unit for 3 minutes to warm it up and then another three minutes under load WITHOUT H2O COOLING. I am not sure what kind of damage i have done to the unit. I filled a bottle to 3700 psi. Right now I feel the limiting reagent is the torque on the hose nut. PPC I hope i didn't kill the seals. Top of the untt reached 125*F
Does the female Foster fitting, on the end of the output hose, come with the pump or did you add that? I ordered one of these pumps last night.
+Jack Leach It all comes with the unit.
I just ordered this compressor. What machine oil should i buy for this???????
Could I substitute a gallon or two of Antifreeze so eliminate water deposits build up inside the pump?
Not sure on that one.
any word on duty cycle? Im looking for a low cost high PSI pump for air liqufication experiments using the linde cycle. most "reputable" pumps and air pressure multipliers are in the many thousands of dollars range. Not looking for 24/7 process duty, just want something that can run for an hour or a little more at a time without eating itself.
so i cant fill a 80cf scuba tank with this ? why couldnt i , couldnt i just take breaks like run it for 20 mins and let it cool down and run it again, im not getting why you cant fill a scuba tank with this
Is it ok to put ice in the water bucket to keep the water extra cool?
I’ve done that filling large tanks. No issues.
u should make a video on how to set it up out of the box
To late it's set up brother. Thanks for watching.
That's not a cheap compressor, but I guess it's probably going to be cheaper than reloading gear with standard firearms. This looks like a must have if you are really into the airguns.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors When you factor ammo cost the value of Airguns really show. A brick of .22 out here in SoCal goes between 65-80 dollars.
Could use for scuba cylinders if you use the proper air filter.
+ronald walker I agree.
I am getting air pressure blowing from the black plastic part that sits in the oil filler space is that crackcase pressure and is the engine fooked?
Yes I did get it eventually.. took a long time.. this works great..
Thanks for the comment and watching.
I just received my yh yesterday blew the burst disk on first fill after break-in where can I purchase more disk should have extra but didn't thanks
Can you just put ice in the water to help keep it cool? I am not saying alot of ice just enough to keep the water cool.
+osbornephoto1955 Yes
Where do I get extra burst disk my compressor just arrived yesterday with no extra disk????
Great video, thanks! Is there any moisture removal consideration?
I do need a better moisture trap for the compessor.
......Do you run the high pressure air thru any kind of "oil & moisture filter"?!... Do you have any issues with getting any oil, or water out of the lines, into your tanks?!...
No I’m in the market for a filter.
My Ripley XL9 has a Working pressure of 300 Bar. This would save a lot of trips to the Scuba shop.
But oil in the airgun at 300 Bar could diesel Ba Boom!
Got to find a strong 350 Bar OIL AND WATER FILTER.
Question, the bleed on the side with the gauge, on the bottom of the block there is the hole for bleeding, but when I have it tight I am getting leaking from it. Do you happen to know why and how I can fix it?
Do you know how to change the battery in the machine
How this air compressor holding up looking to get into the pcp world.
wingman115 would you please update us as to wether or not the pump is still working...how many times you have used it and what have you had to do to it in terms of maintenance etc. That would be great. thanks
+allan wilson I need to post a Update. But it's still going strong.
Wingman115 ...thanks buddy...good to know. So it looks like there's a bit of life in these cheap and cheerful pumps .
Can you bern up the pump if you don't run water in it
Yes. You will over heat it.
What about the water in the air does it have some kind of drain or dryer onit
Has a filter inline.
Hey I came across this post, looks great. Everyone is filling these up to the 4500 PSI but any time calculator on how long it would fill an emptyish tank (1000psi) to 3000PSI?
Took me about One hour and 20 min when I filled a friends.
