CV221503AJ Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor Check Valve

this part installed easilly with no modifications. I do reccomend that you purchase a new compression sleeve to go with this part, because it holds the inlet tube to this part.

Campbell Hausfeld VT6275 15 Amp 3.2-Horsepower 60-Gallon Oiled Vertical Compressor

• Heavy duty CAST IRON oil lubricated twin cylinder pump
• High air flow to power a wide variety of air tools
• Product life of up to 5000 hours based on b-10 bearing rating
• Quietest operation
• Durable and safe 60 gallon ASME code tank for greater air storage

I just received my unit several days ago. It was purchased to replace an aging Sears 2 HP compressor, which had mysteriously turned itself on during the night (even though the switch was Off!) and kept running, overheating and filling my home with oily smoke.

The purchase and delivery experience was great. I got the free shipping, and was expecting this would take 2-3 weeks on the slow train. I was surprised to get a call from the freight company two days after I ordered it, asking when I wanted it delivered. It arrived in perfect condition.

True to market hype, the 6.5 HP rating advertised is actually an overstatement. The label on the unit says it is a 3.2 HP, and that makes sense given the current draw. A true 6.5 HP unit would require a 30-50A circuit, like my Delta 5HP Unisaw. But this unit meets my needs at a good price.

Campbell Hausfeld makes this identical unit for a lot of other manufacturers... you'll notice different paint colors, but it's the same unit. Surprisingly, some other manufacturers charge more... as far as I can tell only the paint color and brand sticker is different. Buy this one and save yourself some money.

A downside over some of the cheaper units is that you'll need to provide your own electrical cord, air regulator and plumbing from the tank. I purchased Campbell Hausfeld's vertical compressor mount kit direct from their website for about $11. It comes with rubber and metal plates, as well as lag screws and lag shields to safely mount the unit to the floor. I've also purchased a flexible pipe to make the connection from the compressor tank (after a ball shutoff valve) to the rest of the plumbing in my system.

The cast iron compressor pump is definitely quieter than my old aluminum one was. The unit operates very smoothly and relatively quietly for a compressor, but it's still noisy.

I'll submit an update after I've used the unit for a while, but so far, so good.

Just purchased this unit at Lowes for $ which I think is a great price. I replaced a 15 year old wheel barrow type CH with the same horsepower and CFM rating but only a 30 gallon tank. I need this capacity because I use lots of continuous duty tools like grinders, sanders and air chisels which require high CFM ratings. If your work involves intermittant use tools like nailers, air ratchets, inflators, etc you don't need this much compressor. One of the big reasons I chose this model is that it has a true cast iron pump body. Many others at this price range use aluminum with iron inserts which won't provide the same longevity. This baby will last!

Other things I like about it are: smooth, quiet operation, well placed readable pressure guage, large 3/4" air outlet, handy sight window for oil level, smaller belt cage and easily accessable drain cock. So why didn't I give it 5 stars? Here are the flaws:

As usual with products made in Asia, the owners manual is almost worthless. Vague installation instructions and print errors in 4 languages how handy. The book recommends vibration isolators and provides a part number but the number is bogus. No one at Lowes or CH could find the part. I bought some at Graingers that were perfect for $9 each. (BTW, if you want to experience customer service done right, call Grainger's help line. 24-hour operation with true engineers on stand-by to answer questions and do research.) There's a big sticker on the unit with a CH web site and 800 number to call but of course, the web site didn't offer any meaningful information and I got a recording on the phone.

The unit is extremely top heavy which makes it very hard to mark holes for drilling the lead sinkers needed to install it. A bolt pattern in the manual would have been very helpful. The manual recommends that you run the unit with open lines for 30 minutes to break it in and then change the oil. Of course it doesn't come with any extra oil and the crankcase may or may not be full when you buy it. The hole for the oil drain screw is flush with the pump body so the oil runs all over the place when you drain it. I tried to add a nipple to extend the clearance so I could catch the draining oil but the threads are metric and I can't find pipe to fit. The manual offers an "EZ Drain" device at an extra price??? Once you have the unit plumbed in, check all the connections for leaks with soapy water, including the factory connections for the regulator manifold and pressure gauge. Mine had minor leaks in both.

1 last remark...another reviewer said he left the unit on the pallet when he installed it. If you do this, it's a little difficult to use the tank drain plug (draining daily is a must if you want it to last). Putting the unit on the Grainger isolators gives me plenty of room under the unit to reach the drain and place a drain pan. So the bottom line is this...this is a solid unit that operates quietly, has plenty of power and will last 20 years if properly maintained. Once you get past the intsallation woes, you'll be quite pleased.

I am very pleased with this unit, it is just what I was looking for, powerful and much quiter than I expected it to be. The only downfall is that you need to wire the unit yourself, although if you are handy with electric it is fairly easy to install. The "free" shipping from Amazon is an excellent bargin. I highly recommend this unit.

This is an excellent air compressor! It definitely fills the needs for my home garage use. It is reasonably quiet given its size, and has so far run any tool that I have tried which includes a cutoff tool, air chisel, air ratchet, impact wrench, tire inflator, and an air drill. I haven't yet tried a paint sprayer, but give the size of the tank and the CFM rating I think it would handle it pretty well, perhaps with some waiting for it to repressurize. I expect it will run air sanders just fine as well. Just be sure to check the SCFM of what you want to use against the air compressors rating.

It does not come with a filter/regulator or wiring for 220V, so you do need to do a little work to get it installed. That this standard for air compressors in this size range though, so I have no complaints there.

I just left the unit bolted to the shipping pallet and sat it in the corner of my garage. For 220V, I wired a plug on 220V wire so I can run it through my laundry room door and plug it into my dryer outlet when I need to use it. Not optimum, but it is a working solution until I have a garage that is wired for 220.

If you need a powerful home compressor, you won't be sorry you bought this one!

I needed to upgrade my shop air compressor and had narrowed my choices to Ingersoll Rand and Campbell Hausfeld. I researched the various internet sites and to my surprise Amazon.com sells air compressors and had an incredible deal on the Campbell Hausfeld VT6275 60 Gallon. The deal included free shipping; this was true free shipping all the way into my shop. Great quality compressor at a great price and a very smooth transaction.

I did have to assemble the unit twice to fix the problem but I won't complain. Instructions were clear and parts worked. I think more grease was needed (fixed the problem on the second try). Happy to keep a good nailer in service since my older unit is better made than many of the new ones.

Thexton 467A Air/Water High Pressure Cleaning Wand

I was pissed to be made to think (deceived) that the wand would shoot both air pressure and water at the same time but thats not the case. It's either/or. I could use a hose to stream water! ARGHHHH!!

From the description ---"Special tips deliver air or water" so they did explain.

On to the facts.... we use these everyday to wash out HVAC Condensing unit coils so we do not have to remove the tops or fan blades from Commercial Units. The rod fits nicely thru the fan guards on almost all the Commercial units we service. It may not work on some Residential units that have tight metal tops, but on the Residential brands we service that hasn't been a problem because most of those tops remove easily. The sizes we mostly buy are 36" and the 48", this one is 24" which should work well on your AC CU or any other hard to reach places. We have used with success this 24" wand tip to clean indoor evaporator coils using the valve on the wand to regulate the water pressure.

Overall this wand makes hard to reach places easier to access with water pressure.

DEWALT D55153 15 Amp 1-Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor

• 4.0 CFM delivered at 90 PSI to provide rapid recovery
• Oil-lubricated pump improves durability
• Cast-iron cylinder enhances pump life
• High-flow regulator for increased performance
• Four-gallon twin-stack tank design with proven acceptance in the market

This bad boy will do the work of a much larger compressor. It will easily run several guns on a framing crew or even a roofing crew. The HP rating is a little misleading compared to other compressors. 2 HP isn't max , it's continuous. I have one of these (Emglo 2HP) that's been abused and used hard for several years now with no problems ,only good dependable air. I highly recommend it. If I could change one thing I would make it quieter.

I use this with my Paslode; 16 Gauge and Framing nailers, I hang then trim doors, sometimes rebuild sills and headers. I also do various trim/frame carpentry on other projects.

If you are worried about changing the oil its only once a year!

If you are worried about operating on a slope, i have always found a flat spot to locate it in, even roofers leave theirs on the ground, just put on more hose. Who wants to carry this up a ladder anyway?!

I would never buy an air compressor without a user serviceable airfilter!

I would never buy one of those oil less types

More air and very quiet compared to the porta cable I previously owned, although some what heavier. The porta cable was a toy compared to this Dewalt.

Like Most intelligent farmers necessity and budget are always in play. The need for a commercially available refrigeration unit is part of all farms cool down and storage requirements, yet the availability of affordable

equipment to small farms does not exist, unless it is taken back to the purest form of design and function.

What Ron has done here is recognized that the limits imposed by residential A/C unit manufactures, specifically the

restriction of low temperatures by thermostatic control, can be manipulated. In designing the Cool-Bot he did several things;

1. energy conservation, large commercial units are power hogs,typically three phase 400-600 amps, and they are an antiquated, inefficient method of cooling, specifically taking copious volumes of cold air and moving it into a space that is usually poorly designed and has huge air leaks, the net result is waste, both in terms of energy, and product stored as air mass on leafy greens desiccates and wilts foliage, so unless your stored product is potatoes, you want coiling without excessive moisture robbing air mass. Cool-Bot delivers through your Energy Star unit, cold air without damaging the crop, and saves big money in energy costs, and efficiency.

2. Back up, when your space requires multiple units to achieve the desired level of cooling needed, you simply run more window units, again the often overlooked benefit here is the built in back up. If your commercial unit goes down, your product temps go up and spoil. The repair cost is high, and you still have one unit. With multiple Cool-Bots, you have an emergency back up in place, if a unit went down, the others can maintain temps for that period while you replaced that A/C unit, and since it has not been modified whatsoever, it is under a factory warranty. Now you have continued cooling during the repair or change out, something not offered by commercial refrigeration, with them your down, and your out.

3. Seasonal change. During cooler periods of the year with a multiple unit cooler you have the option of shutting down several of the A/C units for additional energy savings, with the big units, its on or off. So it is time to ask yourself, who brings the best things to life? not just those guys, but us farmers, we feed you, and increase your health with safe local foods, and design and build products that are frugal, and efficient. The highest praise a farmer or designer can receive is from his peers, and I highly recommend Cool-Bot to anyone, for a multitude of purposes. It is the only intelligent choice for efficient energy conscious cooling, and the only choice for 3 Boys Farm, a 365, 24/7 large grower of hydroponic and organic produce. Way to go Ron!

Robert@ Three Boys Farms gives a good overview on the Coolbot. I use the coolbot in my coolroom to keep grapes around 39 degrees F. before I crush. What I have to offer in terms of a review is a demystification of the product for any potential user that would like to know exactly how it works. To begin, it doesn't 'turbo-charge' your air-conditioner. This is largely hyperbole. There is definitely no magic involved.

The Coolbot consists of three probes, a thermometer, a temperature probe, and a heater probe all leading back into a single well sealed package. Here is how it works. After removing the grill from the AC unit you will locate the thermostatic sensor which is affixed to the cooling fins of the AC unit. This temperature sensor is naturally responsible for cycling the AC unit on and off. You will now take the AC's temperature probe and place it in contact with (secure beside) the Coolbot heater probe. The second probe on the Coolbot is a temperature sensor which is placed in the fins of the AC unit approximately where you removed the AC temp. probe.

The heater probe on the Coolbot is in direct contact with the AC's thermostat. The Coolbot heater probe simply heats up the AC's thermostat thereby causing the AC unit to sense a warmer temperature than what actually exists in the cool room. The second probe of the coolbot monitors the temperature of the AC fins so that the Unit doesn't ice up. Ron has taken an extremely simple concept, one that isn't wholly original and created an excellent, dependable, durable and vastly overpriced product that will do exactly what it warrants. I am very pleased with its performance.

I have had a Coolbot in place about a month now. I am extremely pleased with its performance...It keeps my 6'X 9' walk in cooler at an average temperature of 38 F. Great product and a great savings (about 1/6th the cost) over installing a 2 part commercial refridgeration unit

Thanks Ron...nice unit...keep up the good work.

Want CoolBot Walk-In Cooler Controller for window air conditioner Discount?

We purchased the Coolbot controller in July 2012. Have been very satisfied with it so far. We have been using it with a LG 15000 BTU air conditioner, in a 18'x7' cool room. We use it at 47°f, for flowers. We had been getting estimates for having standard refrigeration installed. The estimates started at $3000.00+ for a used system. I purchased the Coolbot controller and a new LG air conditioner for under $800.00. It was worth every penny. You save not only in equipment costs and installation costs, but also on your electricity bill. Just follow the Coolbot instructions about installation, and insulation, and you cannot go wrong.

GoodYear 047 1/2-Inch x 50-Foot Rubber Industrial Hose - Red

• 1/2 inch x 50 feet, 200PSI
• Oil-resistant
• Can be used in all temperatures
• Includes male brass ferrules and barbed fittings
• Made in USA

As the previous review stated, this hose is overkill for everyday applications, such as connecting air nailers, sanders and such to the source. I use this hose to move large volumes of air from my compressor to my regulator on the jobsite to minimize pressure drop and supply the maximum amount of air to the multiple tools connected to the regulator. That being said, if you are only going to attach tools directly to a compressor, buy the 3/8" which is lighter weight, easier to manuver and less costly. Given the size, the hose is slightly heavy to attach to a framing nailer and a little cumbersome to wrap up at the end of the day.

UPDATE JULY 2010: Hose is still working great. No leaks. Now my oldest hose by far and used frequently.
