This air hose is very light and easy to drag around. It will twist abit, but just unplug your air tool and untwist it. I haven't used my rubber hoses since buying these. I have a 25', 60', and 100' poly hose and they all work great. Cold weather doesn't affect them either.

Ingersoll-Rand P244-610 1/2'' Female NPT Regulator NEW

Ingersoll-Rand P244-610 1/2'' Female NPT Regulator NEW
  • 1 Piece

I have a large 7.5 HP Emax 2-stage compressor and a smaller 3 HP 2-stage compressor. I have been using the ARO series of regulators and filters with the larger unit for some years, and needed a new filter regulator for the smaller unit. Having had good experiences with the Ingersoll Rand ARO regulators and filters at the stations on my larger compressor, I was ready to buy another Ingersoll Rand for the smaller compressor.

Since my smaller compressor is used little in the garage on my home, and is a 60 gallon vertical unit, I decided a single station at the tank outlet was sufficient. I also decided a large coalescing filter wasn't needed, like the large expensive one I have on my 7.5 HP Emax, but filtered air is always a must. The P244-610 was just made to order for my use on this 3 HP compressor almost!

The ratings for airflow and PSI requirements, easy pressure adjustments, and filtering were also just what I needed and wanted. The easy read color coded gauge, and the nice metal filter with its sight glass, were all icing on the cake. The 175 PSI rating was also a plus over other filter regulators. But, the modular design is even better.

The color coded gauge is also adjustable, under the gauge cover, for quick pressure viewing. I keep the colors adjusted on mine for easy reading with no more than a quick glance to note 60 or 90 PSI as the numbers and divisions on the gauge are small.

Note: The part number you will receive is P39344-610. The gauge is mounted into the modular housing by two screws, and is not the older 1/4" NPT screw-in gauge model. This is the IR ARO 2000 modular series of gauges.

The P244-610 comes set up with its air input to the left of the gauge and the output on the right. That works out fine if you have your tank outlet fitting on the right of your tank, but mine are on the left of my air reciever setup which would have the gauge facing the rear of my compressor. Thanks to the modular design, that's no problem. I simple unscrewed the face of the gauge, removed two Phillips head screws, and removed the gauge. I also removed the cover plate on the opposite side. Keeping the two rubber air seals in place, I then reversed the position of the plate and gauge, and re-assembled the regulator. The regulator housing is also made so the filter can be replaced 180 degrees opposite of the factory configuration. This gave me the inlet on the side I needed, kept my gauge facing forward, and put the bowl sight tube toward the front. All you lose from the frontal view are the painted ARO emblem, and the "lock" and "un-lock filter emblems, on the housing. The filter regulator performs just as well in either configuration and mine looks great! It wouldn't have been so great with the gauge and sight glass facing the rear of my compressor, but Ingersoll Rand has covered that problem with the well thought out modular design.

The bowl bleed works easily with a light touch from the front and seals instantly when released, and the metal bowl is easily removed and replaced with the pressure cut off to the P244-610 and relieved from the bowl. The bowl locks in place while pressurized.

My entire change to the unit, and installing it to my compressor with thread tape, took only a few minutes and I didn't have a single leak!

Since I use a 3/8 industrial quick connect to a single rubber hose on this compressor, it now looks much neater using the compact design of the P244-610. A gate valve cuts the pressure off to the filter regulator, and the whole assembly is close to the side of the tank and easily accessible. This also makes for a sturdy mounting of the sturdy P244-610 unit. I was previously using a very bulky DevilBiss filter regulator that stuck out much further from the side of my tank. The Ingersoll Rand P244-610 makes the DevilBiss look like a very bulky and weak antique by comparison. It's also much easier and faster to service than the DevilBiss. I expect this new P244-610 will last a long time just like my other Ingersoll Rand ARO regulators and filters.

Rated for a maximum 175 PSI connection with a maximum setting of 140 PSI air regulation, this is a very flexible unit that can be used in numerous air pressure line configurations. The compact size is roughly 3-inches x 11-inches.

Only had it for a week so far it has worked without any issues. It did Have a little hiss at the bowl but I just re-greased the seal and it stopped. I would recommend if you need one with range if offers.

Requires an absolutely non-tiring arm to get any light. After you crank a while & finally get the light, it doesn't seem like you can keep the light unless you continue to constantly crank it. I'd rather have batteries while I can.

LG Electronics LP1311BXR 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control - Black/Metallic Si

LG Electronics LP1311BXR 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control - Black/Metallic SilverThis unit is much more quiet than a Whytner I had that leaked all over. It is also cools much better and does not leak. I would give this product a 5 star rating but for the window vent kit. First, it will extend to about 49 inches but there are 4 sections that you must use. This makes the panel very flimsy. Three sections are more than adequate. That was the only good part about the Whytner in comparison. Second, either the vent tube should have been made with a diameter 1/2 inch less or the vent kit panel should have been made 1/2 inch wider. When you attach the hose to the panel you have to move the panel away from the inside of the window for it to fit because the tube does not clear the inside of the window frame. Use a lot of duct tape. I hope this made sense.

Used less than one year and it worked great last summer,then carefully rolled into a spare bedroom for winter storage. BUT just like other reviewer, set it up for this summer and no cool air at all! Called LG and a week later repairman came out to tell me it has internal leak and not repairable! Lucky for me, my warantee had two more weeks. LG service contacted me within a day and will give refund after I return unit to them. They do not have one in stock to send replacement. Service good but product is junk.

LG may may decent products, but heaven forbid you should need to get service. I have a relatively new (still under warranty) room A/C which has stopped cooling. After almost an hour on the phone with a tech who could barely speak English, he referred me to the (only) service center in the area, which is closed for the next 10 days (6/28 to 7/8). So beware that the service network for LG is paper thin compared to most established appliance man'f in the US, and should you need service be prepared to be without your product for weeks. Really great if you need an A/C fixed in the summer.

I received this last year (2011), purchased from Home Depot and used it for a full month and half until a part broke down and the unit stopped blowing cool air. LG honored the warranty as the replacement part was backordered and they sent me a new unit. Since the process took so long, I received the new unit in the winter, hence no real use.

Summer of 2012, begin using the new replacement unit. Works great for one month. Then the same issue...cooling part breaks and is on back order. LG granted me a warranty extension, but now the replacement part is still on back order after 1.5 months and LG wants me to wait for the part or have the third-party company verify they contacted LG for the part. LG will not do this themselves (they are the ones that recommended the third-party company to fix unit) and I'm playing phone tag. Third-party company servicing the unit says they received the incorrect part and needs to wait another 3-4 weeks. LG says to find out with the third-party company the order number and let them know the details and they will determine what to do from there. An here, it looks like I won't have it back for use again until this fall.

This is NOT reliable. Both the original unit and replacement unit had the same main cooling component fail after 1-2 months of use. Now i'm without a room AC unit and out $500.

DO NOT BUY.

UPDATE: I'd like to give this ZERO stars, but it's not avail. I tried posting this same review on the LG website and it got rejected. Surprise surprise. No wonder the reviews on the LG website have this product rated at 4/5 stars when here on Amazon it's 1-2 stars.
