by bill wuttke
(cambs england)

i habe a PA italian valve i want to put into the air line that comes from the compressor and goes to the tank, it it adjustable.on the bottom of the valve is a bypass connection please advise where this should be connected to. i need the compressor (diesel screw type) to still cut in when the tank pressure drops, kind regards bill

I'm looking, and looking, and I don't see a photo. Darn.

So I'm only guessing when I say I think that the line you refer to goes to the pressure switch.

Cheers,

Bill

 direct line into a 300 ltr tank
by: wukkie

not to get comicted, asel driven with a direct line into a 300 ltr tank

1) i want to put a valve inline to stop any air feedback to compressor.

2) the compressor also needs to recognise when the air pressure drops in the tank to restart and refill the tank.

3) nothing electrcal manual non return valve bur where does the bypass side connect to or is it just a dump device to atmosphere wukkie

1) an in-line check valve will do this

2) can't do this if you have the check valve in the line to the tank. Why do you want the check valve? The extra tank, without the check valve, will simply be a larger part of the original compressor tank.

3) "where does the bypass side connect to or is it just a dump device to atmosphere" I don't know as I can't see to what you are referring.
