Love hearing it’s been a great machine. How long did it last? Just bought and bought the $99 electric auto drain

very cool explanation...

Hi, just got that same compressor it is on the video, my question is, only need a 30 am braker? And 10/2 wire? Thank you

I used to have this one...went through to many pressure switches..due to no magnetic starter..anything over 2 hp.or 20amps running you should get a magnetic starter..installed..I learned from my experience. I finally sold mine ..with a starter. On it..the guy told me he has no issues. That was over a yr. Now.. I went for big.. bought a industrial unit ..Saylor-beall.. it came with a starter on it..with a automatic tank drain...3000 grand...American built..in st.johns Michigan...u-tube Saylor-beall..

I just bought one of these. I have a finished closet in my shop I'd like to run it in. The instructions say "provide 1,000 cubic feet of fresh air per minute". I can calculate cubic feet in my shop, but what does "cubic feet per minute mean? I am hoping to run it in a shop that is about 500 square feet with 8 foot ceilings. I want to make sure it is safe to work next to it (carbon monoxide label on front) and am not sure how much ventilation I need if I do keep it in the closet.

I find one sketchy thing and a couple puzzling things. I find it sketchy that IR does not incorporate a magnetic starter for a 5hp motor. Based upon my compressor's 5hp motor, inrush current at startup is 49amps (determined via max hold with Fluke clamp meter so I trust my measurement). I do wish you continued good operation with the incorporated pressure switch on your unit. Puzzling is the (apparent) fact IR does not specify the required breaker and leaves it to the installer or end user to figure it out. Another puzzle is the mounting requirement. As an example, I have a Quincy model QP5. It is a vertical 5hp 80 gallon unit. Its installation manual states a 60amp breaker is required with appropriate guage wire to the magnetic starter. It also specifically states vibration pads are not to be used with a vertical unit; only with horizontal units. Lastly the unit must be bolted to the concrete floor. I realize these are different manufacturers but the units are functionality *very* similar to one another. The disparities intrigue me.

Did you have to adjust your pressure switch when you first bought it

*After years of hauling around a large,💫 **allabout.wiki/PORTER** heavy, loud dewalt air compressor (that ironically was advertised as quiet, supposedly 78dB), I bought this. Facepalm. While it is not ‘silent’, I find myself chuckling every time I use it, sparing all my neighbors the terror of my former compressor. I use for inflating tires, impact wrench, finish nailers. Absolutely love it. And I store it under the garage sink in a 24” cabinet. I paired with a coil 1/2”, instead of a my former 50’ 5/8” hose that I had to lug across the yard from the shed, unpleasantly uncoil.... this little guy is light and portable; just a joy. Impact wrench is still capable of easing lug bolts, flywheel bolts, crank pulleys... just allow for a tiny bit of recovery now and then.*

I just got one and finally got it wired up 2 days ago

thanks for sharing friend

Good info. Was going back and forth between buying a smaller unit just to get by or a large unit like this, and installation requirements + reliability were concerns. I appreciate the help!

Hi thank you for the video.I want to know where did you buy your air compressor ? I want to buy one and I live in Michigan too

Is that a 30 amp 125v plug or and 30 amp 220v plug? I have a 30 amp 125 outlet in my shop

I have the same machine and it has been a great compressor. I did put a stainless steel 90 degree elbow and stainless pipe on the bottom with a stainless steel ball valve to drain it easier.

what kind of pressure switch do you have? I heard it will wear your switch out of you don't put a starter on it

Thanks for sharing your experience on key points a person oughta know!

Your drawing is wrong !!!

What is the motor rpm an the compressor rpm an also what is type of motor you use single phasez

How many hours and years have you owned this for? Most compressors don't start falling apart right after you buy them, its with use. If you are using this 20 hours a week that is pretty light use and you shouldn't be seeing any issues. Bad motors are the biggest complaint with the 5hp units and the motors are seriously expensive.

I don’t think Quincy is any better made than IR. They both use foreign components. You need to step up to something like Jenny if you want a truly great piece of equipment, but you will pay twice as much. All of the sub $1,500 compressors are made in China or India or Southeast Asia and are all pretty low on the quality totem pole.

I see this video is now more than 5 years old. If you are still on youtube, are you still happy with it? Where were the parts made? When I looked at one recently at TSC, the compressor was made in India and the motor in China. It is assembled in Kentucky, but the parts all appear to be foreign. Was that the case back when you bought yours?

I have the IR 80 5hp, 2-Stage and I wired mine up using 6/2 w/ ground. That being said there are many factors I had to face and take into account like the length of the run for my wire, what the rating was of the subpanel and what the actual rating was in the house from the main panel. I use ALOT of air for way to many things, lol! I also have mine completely separated in 2 places with mine being hardwired. Tank to 30amp service disconnect with time delayed fuses and then a hefty run to the subpanel where it's on a 30amp breaker.

HEY BRO THANKS FOR TAKE YOU TIME ABOUT THIS VIDEOS,. I'M LIKE IT,.BUT I HAVE A QUESTION DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE BLACK CAP BETWEEN THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND THE GRILL PROTECTOR, AND SOMETHING ELSE ON TOP OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR THERE IS A SQUARE PLUG UNDER THE AIR FILTER COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THAT FOR TOO ???? PLEASE BRO

Can you tell me the name and model, where you got the oil/ water separator ? I heard you say on Amazon, but I could not find what I thought I saw (Star Brand).

Why the wood on the cage??

My motor gets hot after it runs for about 10 minutes what should I check?

Buy good camera lol

Wrong,Wrong,WrrrrooonnG!!!! You have an error in your numbers,!!!! There is 87-87a- and then at the Bottom,!! 30 BUT YOU HAVE THE BOTTOM number 80"!!! There is No number ( 80 )!!! On any car relay.!!!! What are you Smoking- dude,?? It must be better than mine.!! LOL Cause I saw it right off.!!

Great review, thanks. I'm in Michigan as well and was in the same conundrum you were about compressors, this one in particular. I ordered it regardless of the very few negative comments opposed to the number of great reviews. As you stated, the wiring requirements and hookups could have been the failures. I too wasn't sure about the mounting until I watch your video. My IR 80 arrives March 27, 2019 and am more confident now thanks to you.

Thanks for sharing this. You mentioned some stuff I wasn't considering when spec'ing for my shop.

Have you attempted to change the psi output yet and if so, how?

Thanks for the video. I’ve been trying to figure out if 10/2 is big enough and you ended my worry.

Thanks Great idea Video channel

Hi question, I just sub’d and hit that 👍, and also the 🛎 to get notifications! My 2017 Accord LX(Lowest Model) so I don’t have the Led Strip DRL, However, I do have the strip on the headlight. It just doesn’t have the socket behind the Headlight, to screw in a LED Bulb, to project the acrylic led Strip like the Ex/Sport Models. It has a Low beam halogen projector, and halogen high beam / DRL. Is it possible to run the power going to the Factory high beam/ DRL function to a 5-Pin Relay and direct the power to a led bulb for the strip? Then run another set of wires to a connector and run it back to the high beam. So if I ever do need the high beam, I’ll still have that function? The relay is like opening and closing doors? To direct and move the power around correct?

What happened to the ls swap jeep?!

Good video. The way I see it, there are two pins that have 12 volts connected to them. 85 pin is connected to 12 volt , through a switch. plus pin 87 is connected to 12 volts. I don't understand why two power sources. could you explain this???

Hi i have a question How to wire 12v 5pin relay with a capacitor to make on off output

I liked your Video..I learned something.. I will subscribe to your channel..If you can, Could you subscribe to mine channel..The Video "Subaru Forester 2012 Running Light change" th-cam.com/video/9koSxpN2DHE/w-d-xo.html Thanks for sharing

Mine is a constant pain... I’m going up a size maybe, but def shopping with other brands

how quiet is this?

the copper hose of mine exploded off and there is nowhere a replacement or somebody who can do that

I commented on your other video. How did you adjust the air pressure stored? There is a screw under the switch cover? Mine fills to 165 and stops.

I just got mine. I bolted it to the floor with rubber pads. It still vibrates through the house. I thought I was doing the right thing not leaving it on a pallet. What else can I use? Question 2: you can adjust how much pressure is actually stored with a screw? Mine actually fills up to 165 and then loses a few over night. I can make it go to 175 like it’s supposed too? The 3rd question, what are you using for regulator? IR does not have one in track or supply that can accept 175 inlet pressure. The IR ones there only accepted 140. I bought a Husky 3/8 one that can take 200 inlet. I really wanted a 1/2 one to make to this tank. But I need at least 175 inlet and at least 160 outlet if possible.

Helped this old man as I've forgotten. Cheers

Helped this old man. cheers!

Hi hav. 1994 motor home wont start . one of the relays is burned. i pulled burnt wires thru. when i turn on switch i have power at distrub. but nothing out.has 4 wires red yellow red with bluue stripe and black with white stripe.with switch on has power at red and yellow. how to wire relay.

hi question how to wire pass light switch for bike

Here's my dilemma...the fogs on my 2014 Kia are totally useless and illumination is poor. Hardly noticeable with the headlights.The manual says to use sparingly as they use too much power thus shortening battery life and I'd hate not using them at all. Is there a way to use them as drl's without them using up so much power?

buy a Quincy.

Hi, question. I have a 12 volt, 210 watts led light bar, I would like to use a 40 amp 4 pin relay with a 20 amp fuse and a 20 amp illuminated rocker switch. Would my set up work? Thanks.
