Just missing a filter/regulator.
If that's a domestic water tap hose, I'd be a bit wary of having 100psi inside it, even allowing for it working for the previous owner.

Thank you. So do I get a half inch regulator and screw it to the tank? Cheers Jed

Thats a lubricator - you don't want one of those if you will ever use paint! Get a female PCL connector to screw into the tank. Then connect a short hose to a water trap/regulator www.express-paints.co.uk/sa2001-fr-air-filter-regulator/ with another female PCL connector on the exit of the regulator. Then just plug whatever you use into thr regulator. |

Thanks all, so sorry for sounding thick. I am at a bit of a loss as there are so many connections etc with compressors. If I get that set up in the link above,what do I need to connect my hose too? It's one of them quick release ones? Thanks again. JED

They've got 1/2"bsp female threads so whatever you already use on your air tools will suffice, I use standard euro connectors.

Here you go; outlet of my tank has a shut off valve fitted - then the female PCL fitting for the quick release so I can move the compressor if need be. You can see on mine I am using a 1/2" bsp to 1/4" bsp adaptor between the shut off valve and the PCL valve.  That outlet feeds a hose that goes into your water trap/regulator which then has a PCL quick release outlet for whatever you want to plug into it.  |

That's super helpful thank you. Just ordering the bits now. Really appreciate the help.

Just realised, you need 1/4" bsp barbed fittings for your hose ends, depending on your hose inner diameter you will need either 6m barb or 8mm barb. Can't do a link now as I'm on my tablet.

Ah OK no worries at all, I have ordered the parts you suggested so I will see what I have and then nip to screwfix. Thanks again. Can't wait to get it going now. I bought an air grinder and the little one wasn't powerful enough so hoping this one will do the trick. It's nearly 10 times bigger 😁

It will run a grinder but will probably empty it in 3-4 minutes.
Air tools are very greedy !

200 litres is a big receiver but it's the cfm of the pump that counts. Air tools are indeed very greedy so you may find the compressor will be running almost constantly to keep up.

Ahh that's OK then. I can't get into small spaces with my grinder on the e30 battery tray so bought a mini Air grinder. The little compressor had no gusto. Hopefully can get this one to work it a bit better. At worst, it's gonna clear the windscreen washer nozzles really well 😊
