- We installed our Dewalt 60 gallon Air Compressor in the new shop. We did the wiring and ran Pex plumbing to each bay for multiple outlets throughout the shop.
Nice plumbing job. A few tips: It's too close to the wall. Should be at least 12" for adequate cooling. You have the fan almost against the wall. You need to break the compressor in by running it with the drain valve open for at least 30 minutes so that the rings set with no head pressure against it. Once you tighten the bolts on the floor, back them off a little. They should not be tight. You may want to make a hole in one of the legs and put the drain valve through it with a bushing to hold it in place.
Awesome suggestions! I appreciate you sharing.
Impressive. For my shop I just put a 50 foot airline reel next to the compressor and called it a day
That probably would have been sufficient for me too. Haha.
Very nice air compressor, great install Lucas!👍🏻
MAN! I had bought a compressor about 4yrs ago and your video helped me a lot to hook mine. I kept pausing to figure out the fittings and came short on a few BUT I'm a step closer to hooking it up as well. I'm using mine for upholstery and I'm excited to get it going too. Thank you for zooming in on the fittings lol.
Much love and respect!
Have a bless one! 🙏

Good deal!
Looking good Lucas! Coming along great sir. The blue locktite is what I use on all my compressor hoses and fittings and has never let me down.
Thank you! Glad you stopped by!
Great music!
Great vid!
Having it all plumbed will make it so easy when you need air!
Nice work!!
Thanks, Derk! We are getting moved in now. Can’t wait to get some projects going in there!
Bravo Lucas, it’s going to be awesome, finish is almost there 👍🏻. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Lift install this weekend! Can’t wait!
Good job, Lucas. Man, my mega-shed is 2 years old and your pole barn DIY build is already farther along. Got a little shop envy!! 😮💨 Mrs PPHH brought you a drink....I had to show Mrs. PG that!! 😂🤣🙃
We are putting up the lift this weekend! Woohoo! Also, the drink was from my daughter. She’s a barista. She said she never gets to be in my videos so I said, “Bring me a coffee!” Lol
Sweet sound an air compressor in a shop!👍 thanks for the tread locker tip I have a slow leak in my system so I will be on the hunt and will try the locker. I use 1/2 schd 40 PVC for my system. indoor only. Thanks for the video Lucas😁👍
Thanks for watching, Mitch! I probably could have also just used pipe dope, but when I read the thread locker tip I kind of wanted to try it. 🤷🏼♂️
This is when a pole barn becomes a dream shop! Wow you're making this thing nice, man. Now my own shop list is getting even longer! LOL Thanks for sharing, buddy.
We are so close we can taste it! Lift, epoxy, and workbenches and we are ready to move in! 👍
I just got one of these last week, did the 30 minute no load break in, and it's been perfect so far I haven't really stressed it out, but I am planning to try some sandblasting possibly tomorrow. The thing held within 3 pounds of 150psi for a week. Granted that is with an elbow, a couple of nipples, and a brass ball valve. I am pretty damn pleased so far. I have a 240v 20 amp outlet that has not been used since at least since 1986 or before. I made a power cord with some wire and replacement plug. I plugged it in, and it worked flawlessly!! My last one was a 6 horse 33 gal. oilless. This is a huge upgrade. Always buy more than you need for air equipment!! You will never regret it.
I am loving mine! I’ve done a fair amount of plasma cutting and it keeps up great!
I have that exact make and model of compressor. The air comes out of the pump at 225°F to 250°F. It warms up the whole tank. It also produces a lot of water that collects in the bottom of the tank.
My very next project will be to add a Derale 15300 tube and fin cooler mounted to the outside of the belt guard in front of the fan.
I ran 3/8" air hose though 3/4" PVC conduit to branches by my lathes and mill, with extra outlets by the machine shop garage door. I have a 50' airline reel in the wood shop.
The other thing you will discover is that this compressor gives a whole new meaning to loud. Mine is 106 dbA @ three feet well above the permanent ear damage level with relatively short exposure. It's loud all over the inside of my shop. The compressor runs at about 2,000 rpm which doesn't help. The inlet air filter is also too small - it sucks the cover back on if you remove and replace it while the machine is running. It's loud enough that I'm considering replacing the pump with the HF 3.7hp rated pump that will run at half that speed and produce ~15dbA lower sound level if the owner's manual is correct.
I bought it to replace my Sears Campbell Hausfield compressor that I bought new 55 years ago that ran at 733 rpm and wasn't even 5% as annoying to listen to as this DeWalt.
shop is looking awesome lucas. jealous of you having a bigger compressor hooked up. i have a similar ingersoll but waiting for the slab to go in to set it up, i had a tough time trying to air up the tires on the f800 with the little portable 6 gallon compressor lol
lol. Sounds like me, I was crippling by with a pancake waiting to get this in!
$$ Sure doesn't go that far anymore, Shop is coming along nicely. For our air system, we want to add a line down one of our 2 post lifts that can be "T" off your roof line. Excellent job!!
We talked about doing that too. Should be an easy add-on…
You’re gonna be able to get so much done in that garage
Can’t wait!
Nice job Lucas. Everything is coming along. And your right about the prices. A guy can’t catch a break. If I remember correctly. You worked at shoe carnival for a while. Might need to moonlight in the sneaker business to supplement the building! Keep up the good work. And congratulations with your new church work!
Thanks, Brad! Good to hear from you! Man, you have a good memory. I did work at Shoe Carnival. Lol
good choice and price on the compressor. I finally get a chance to catch up on you videos tonight!
Thanks, Ryan! Hope you all are doing well!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead thank you Lucas! I am doing very well been working a lot... How have you and the family been?
@@steelcityperformancesaws Everyone is doing well! Ready for spring/summer! 👍
I’ve used the blue pipe dope successfully too
I have the same compressor. I used 3/8 air brake plastic line
I plumbed mine with pex and oetiker style clamps on inexpensive brass pex fittings and its going on 4 years now without an issue and I keep it pressurized all the time so thats 4 years of 140psi in the pex. I'm in Florida so the pex definitely sees high temps (particularly inside my barn which can hit 110f regularly through the summer) but nothing below around 32f here so I can't speak to how it will hold up in really cold weather.
That’s good information! Thanks for sharing.
@16:45 my favorite part of the video, i bust out in laughter can't tell ya why, but you surely earned a subscriber lol
Lol
Lucas, when you install your concrete anchor bolts, drill your concrete, then just drop them in the hole of the legs on the equipment once your equipment is in place, then knock the anchors down onto the equipment mounts, tighten the nut. That way you`re not lifting things to set them onto the threaded studs. Much faster and alot more easier doing it this way. Lord knows, i`ve put a billion of those concrete threaded anchors in, in my lifetime of installing machines in shops and buildings.
Good advice! I ended up having a little trouble getting it lined up the way I did it. I appreciate the comment!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead
You`re very welcome buddie. Sometimes though, you can`t get a drill in some areas when you try to run the drill bit directly thru the machine mounts. In that case, i just center punch a hole on the concrete surface, move the machine, drill it out, then move the equipment over the hole, then drop the anchor thru the hole, tap it down, tighten the nut.
This looks good and everything but have you noticed every video that people do where the compressor is inside the shop every time it cuts on they have to stop and wait until it cuts off, I am in the process of building a 6ft x 6ft pad behind my shop so I have plenty of room around it for ventilation as well as to be able to work on it..
That was my original plan too, but I ran out of budget so here it sits. Lol. You’re exactly right though.
How I’m doing it video 😆! I like that! Your going to have a really nice shop once this is all completed. I think you did a good job on how you routed the piping. What’s your plans for the shop? Personal use or doing outside work? I love having a shop, it’s such a good investment, eventually I’d like to build onto mine and have a separate tool storage room for things that doesn’t get used often. Take care!
Thanks, we are sure excited about it! We are just using it for personal use, but we get roped into helping out friends with their cars here and there. I figure it will be something that will make our lives easier, make it a little easier to help others, and most importantly get my teenage son to bring his buddies to hang out and work in the shop rather than being out running around somewhere else. 😂 We’ll see how that goes.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead sounds like a great plan!
Hobby Homestead but PRO SHOP! It's going to be a legitimate mechanic's shop in there. "Welcome to 2022." I need to say that after every quote, every purchase, every news headline. Every. Single. Thing. It's like we're being conditioned to accept a much worse world than what we had two or three years ago. I'll stay thankful for what I have but whew buying things "ain't no fun" anymore.
Lol. I watched this video back and realized that I complained about the cost at least 3 times! 😂. Whoops!
Great video , i got the same compressor BUT , how do you make it stop on its own ?? Mine just keeps going I have to shut it off manually .
How high are you letting the pressure build? Mine shuts off at 150psi.
Nice setup Lucas! I never would have considered pex for airlines. It seems like it would be much safer than pvc. When I was a teenager, we made a pneumatic potato gun out of pvc. it worked amazing until one of the 90s shattered and the barrel hit me across the chest and laid me out. But man, that gun would turn a potato into a wet spot and nothing else. You are going to have one nice shop! I'm really excited to see the lift get installed. Do you already have stuff lined up to put on the lift?
I cannot believe I’ve never made a potato gun. 🤔 lol. So yeah, we have a 1971 GMC Truck that we were working on LS swapping when we bought our farm. It’s been waiting 3 years for this! We also have a 1974 Super Beetle that needs an engine rebuild. Can’t wait to get in them!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead That is so cool! That LS swapped GMC would be one cool truck. I got a thing for old trucks. I'm really looking forward to seeing more! Keep up the great work!
I’m jealous
what size is the first fitting that screws into the tank???
Question:
Is it normal for the air compressor to Hiss and relieve air after it’s full?
Meaning, when it’s running to get to pressure, once it reaches pressure is it supposed to hiss?
So I can’t explain what is happening, or if it is healthy for a system, but I know mine does. 🤷🏼♂️
Nice Lucas!
As for the teflon tape... its garbage. Use pipe dope.
I learned my lesson there!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Most of us have brother. Just an extra note on the pipe dope... make sure you put in on both of the inside and outside threads.
hello. can you show me how your gate closes?
I want to build a garage for myself. I need your idea. garage doors.
WHAT SHOULD I SET THE REGULATOR AT? TO AIR TIRES, RUN A SANDBLASTER, GLUE GUN FOR UPHOLSTERY, PAINT GUN ETC.?
Different tools have different ratings, but in general I set mine to 90psi. Then I adjust from there for tools requiring less pressure.
@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR.
👍
Does the top of your tank get hot?
No, mine doesn’t. Maybe I don’t work it hard enough…
i would never reccommend pvc. i have seen some bad things happen. if you were to use it. spend the extra money and get schedule 80 pvc its heavier duty pipe and its rated for outside use such as exposed to the elements i.e. sun and cold weather
How has it held up
The plumbing has been great, no issues. I had to warranty the motor and switch on the compressor because they went out.
No drains in the pex...
PLENTY OF TIME TO TALK AND GET DRINKS BUT YOU ZIPPED THROUGH THE INSTALL. WHAT IS YOUR POINT. LIKE NONE OF US HAS EVER HEARD A COMPRESSOR START.
Fair enough. This was part of a whole shop build series that wasn’t really meant to be a how-to. I did do another video on the compressor install that was more explanation about the process.
