Adjust Pressures at the wall NOT at the gun

Smallest hole will be inside diameter of Hi flow quick disconnects.
Yes harbor fright El cheapo Air deal does have a 1/4 pipe outlet but I also said Modify it!
Remove the Regulator assembly I drilled and Tapped mine. for larger fittings.
I assumed you understood what Modification may consist of???
a quarter inch pipe still has a fairly large inside diameter bigger than your Air hose Hi flow fittings.
I was ably to drill and tap mine for Half inch pipe. Still larger than my smallest air hose fitting.
Drilling and Tapping things running a Threading Die all part of the mechanic game as about a million other things.
There are also a million other things you could buy to do the same job my harbor fright offer was by no means your only alternative its just a cheap one, and i did say Modify it.
I have had to repair or modify just about every thing I have ever bought at that store they sell CHEAP JUNK!
I will be making a Air expansion tank/Water trap out of this in near future.
https://www.harborfreight.com/5-gallon- ... 65594.htmlI will be welding Bungs to it and attaching air fittings to each end and a Water drain on the bottom. Sometimes you just have to make what you need. Like I said a small air tank is better for a water trap as you want a Place wear the air can briefly expand a little. Air cools when it expands.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S88XeA6fbMEven though the air is under pressure as it flows through a tank it hits the tank and expands ever so slightly even if its under pressure and it cools. as it cools the water condenses
This rapid decompression of a compressed cylinder filmed from inside with only a few pounds of pressure probably about 8 psi if that much.
