Thanks for sharing! A bit of 411 for those considering purchase: -Same model available through AliExpress, sold by "Yong Heng Shop Store" for $100 cheaper, if you figure in shipping not mentioned...received 13 days after placing order, in perfect condition. Well packaged and ease of communication/tracking. You do have to register for tracking & status info. -The "tampon" filter element does actually filter/retain water (should replace every 30 min run time). I've added a second identical filter/hose assembly for $21, which I fill with 13x micro sieve desiccant ($24)...I switch tampon & replace desiccant every other tank fill for about 25 cents cost. -To clarify, the "other " bleeder knob is to bleed air/water from 1st stage air chamber -To clarify, the burst disc fitting is actually in the 2nd stage air chamber rather than 1st, as indicated -A good practice during run time is to crack bleeders every 5 to 10 minutes to expel condensation -A good practice is to open both bleeders before switching on, then close after startup and reverse process on shut off to avoid compression load on motor and components. Kinda like starting your car in gear...no Bueno. -A good practice is to change the hydraulic fluid after, say about 1st 40 minute run time or one tank top off..."break in period". I don't assume this is done at manufacturer. -For maximum cooling, do not recirculate water to bucket. I leave my discharge hose out of the bucket and let the shop sink faucet fill to maintain or exceed level. I have never had head temperature over 43 degrees/20 minute run time using this method...it works better than ice and less hassle. -Fills 97 cf tank from 2800 to 4500 in 42 minute run time excluding (2) 15 minute rests. -With a little research and book marks, I found all replacement/rebuild components available for dirt cheap. For example, $41 for a complete 1st and 2nd stage cylinder/piston/head/connecting rod/rings/seals assembly.
Air Velocity Sport can you tell me 1) how it has held up to date? 2) Can it fill to 4500psi? ...because you say you fill to only 41-4200psi. 3) any issue running it in reg. avg u.s. household outlet? Thanks in advance
It's doing great so far. 3 months about 30 fills to 4200 psi. Yes I have filled to 4500psi twice but I prefer to fill to 4200psi. No reason just my preference.
I got some good use of mine and it works brilliantly A few good pointers is to use distilled water with regular coolant fluid for aluminum motors Else the aluminum compressor head will be pitted pretty quickly inside, dissolve the aluminum Also let the compressor run freely for at least two whole minutes before starting to pressurize as the piston and cylinder actually needs to get up to working temperature to work best as possible and wear down as little as possible, just think of it like a regular aluminum combustion engine, it is just the same. The water separator you can get to be installed after the compressor, you can get one rather cheap online for just this model of compressor, it is actually just a cylinder that the compressed air gets through the top of and the water then flows down and slowly fills this cylinder the once in a while you just bleed out this cylinder/tank at the bottom and you can also do this with the big tanks if you have a manual valve, just hold the valve downwards and bleed out the water before usage That is pretty much it, use as good quality oil as possible and this will also help with the compression effectiveness of the compressor. I hope you then gets as happy as i do Sorry for my bad English, i don't know the proper English word for what the effect regular tap water has on aluminum as coolant, but grey white scales grows out from the dissolved aluminum and impact the lifespan and cooling performance of the compressor head greatly
I have owned one of these for almost two years now. Still working fine. Have the Brancato air filter. Joe is an engineer and he knows what he is talking about. I have stopped using the recommended hydraulic oil in the Yong Heng and am now using Royal Purple air pump oil. The noise the pump makes quieted down and the temperature also dropped by over 20C.

Hello. Please help to understand. When I’m refilling air tank it’s getting hot. How dangerous it is ? What temperature is normal for refilling ? Do I have to stop refill if my air tank getting hot ? I’m using the same air compressor as on video. And big air tank Air Venturi Wingman PCP Refill Tank, Carbon Fiber Tank, PCP Air Tank, (Wingman 98)
@@Allworldsk1 love it. Not a single hiccup. Ive lost count how many times I used it and it hasn't failed me. Regularly replace the oil and thats all you need to worry about.
Your videos are the best on YT. Most are like "well, I just got this compressor yesterday and now I'll show you how to use it. Ohh no, this doesn't fit, hold on ...." Watched this three times already and finally have all the parts to fill my 10Liter bottle. Watching it one more time just to be sure. Thank you so much!
I just purchased the Venturi Nomad 2. $699 PYRAMYDAIR. Just getting into this PCP Hobby and ordered the Hatsan NeutronStar 25 cal as well. Can't wait to get it. Great video and hope to see you doing more Reviews.. 👌📹
@Air Velocity Sport - As an FYI, I bought two of the SCBA Fill Stations/fill probes from China and found an issue with both that needed to be addressed. Within a week of using one of the units the pressure gauge would not go back to zero after releasing pressure. It would only reset back to 500psi. While replacing the gauge I noticed bits of burred metal shavings and after closer inspection found that the fitting the CGA347, the gauge, and the whip attaches to was semi-blocked with more burred metal shavings.Additionally, I unscrewed the pressure release valve and found even more metal pressed into the nylon / teflon tip. I then took apart the second SCBA Fill Station/fill probe and found the same mess except my pressure gauge had not been affected yet. So I cleaned everything up and used a bass-side "E" string from an acoustic guitar to clear all passages in both Fill Stations/fill probes and then compressed air to blow everything out and reassembled. I don't know yet if any metal made it's way to the SCBA tank or guns. Anyway, just a heads up. Also, while I'm thinking about it, the reason I bought two units was to use one for filling the tank - same as you do, and the other for filling the guns. However, I removed the hose on the one I use for filling the tank and installed a "one-way" 1/8 NPT male fill nipple for $10 ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CSBDGIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). This eliminates having to manually equalize the pressure between the pump and the tank before filling the tank and it works great. Take care.
Hi I’ve currently upgraded my crosman to except paintball bottles now, I got a 22cu. In. 3000psi input and regulated at 2200psi output from jdsairman.com I do use the MK4 Hills pump to fill the bottle, but boy it’s a bitch to fill from 0 - 3000psi by hand. I also read some great reviews on that compressor; I think that’s the way to go. Thanks for another great video.
I didn’t read all the other comments so someone may have touched on this. I have the Omaga air charger. If you open the bleed valve on the compressor about every 10 min and let a blast out most of the water comes out befor it reaches the tank. As the air cools the water condenses. As the air goes from the thin tube to the bigger chamber where the Bleed valve is located. It cools and condenses for the first time. That is why the bleed valve is below the air hose connection. So you can open it occasionally while filling is in process to a evacuate the water. Hope this helps. I wish I would have bought that one instead of the 1,300 on the Omaga. Great video.
Great video. Newbie here. Quick questions (1) How is it holding up? The review was from 2017. (2) Can you use this to fill a PCP tank? Have you done so? Many thanks for a great review.
@@AirVelocitySport Just watched your videos and you are The Man! Answered all my questions. Cannot thank you enough for the gold-standard quality videos!
Nice detail on the setup and different components. I appreciate the way you zoomed in on detail areas like the pressure relief screws, how you set the shut-off pressure, etc.
I just got mine today and it's perfect for my needs (filling paintball hpa tanks). I only need to have it on for maybe 5 mins at a time to fill my 2 tanks and so far it's worked great, of course I've only used it once but it exceeded my expectations for simplicity and how it worked.
Hi, you Sir have just saved my bacon! i bought an Ejoyous high pressure air pump, which looks 90% comparable to yours for £133 quid off of amazon, delivered...(im in the UK). i just set it up with my dad, but the instructions whilst in colour pictures were not really complete enough to properly comprehend how it all works...this video has helped me out no end! for instance i didnt know what oil to use and now i know its hydraulic oil no 46 :) i wasnt sure where you plugged in the temperature sensor rod, but now i get it... great video! thanks a lot...
I rent a 505 cubic foot nitrogen tank from airgas for 92 dollars a year and 48 dollars a fill. Its at 6000psi when full so I get about a year of heavy shooting out of a fill. The nitrogen is moisture free, and there is absolutely zero maintenance! Even better they deliver it to my house for 16 dollars. The only drawback is the tank valve can be a little tricky on some so you need a slow fill foster fitting or a regulator. But if you do the math with the moisture and dangers of acid from filter media yada yada yada.
I considered going with the nitrogen to fill my air rifles and talked with several gas supply stores in my area. They were very helpful to start with and was going to deliver the bottle. However when I told them I was going to use in in air guns that all changed. All of a sudden they would not deliver anymore and the paper work they wanted me to fill out was unbelievable, you would have thought I was applying for an FFL. Needless to say I went another route. I bought a SCBA tank and for a while was getting it filled at the fire station. Then that stopped so I bought one of these Yong Heng compressors. No problem at first, but recently the compressor popped and leaked air badly. I changed the burst disk several times before finding that the air fill hose had stopped up apparently collapsed inside. Everything is ok for now but I am out of burst disk, waiting on an order to be shipped
I've been told that the compressor has a moisture bleeding valve on the left side and the main pressure bleed valve on right , when filling your tank you can bleed moisture as your compressor is running every 3 minutes or so
I want to say you have a good video very thorough . I own the same air compressor that you do . I will eventually get the Diablo filter from airguns of Arizona . I do the same thing as you do to help with the water moisture . It's made in China just like the air Venturi is. It's a lot of the same component parts it just has one piston not two like the air Venturi . I have the big 98 CC carbon fiber tank from Air Venturi , when I feel it from 3500 PSI to 4700 PSI it takes around 25 minutes. For anyone that's looking and easy way to fill their tanks at an affordable price this is the way to go .
always watch the temperature to be sure it doesnt overheat and I never run mine any longer than 20 minutes at a time without a 10 minute break in between.
By the way, on the digital display for the temp you can change from C to F, just remove the blue cover and there is a little button on the unit that you can switch from C to F or vice versa
Jon Dee I know right! I don't understand all the dislikes on this video. His Info is good and true and his videos are well put together. Some People just are assmunchers lol... Aw well, He still has far more likes regardless.
I have a scuba shop close to me I guess im lucky I was going to get a compressor but a 9L tank is same price as one of these filterless compressors. Since i have the best tank money can buy ninja SL2... I would hate to F it up with oil & water when scuba shop is only 3 away. I may get a compressor one day but it will be one WITH A FILTER so I can get that nice clear pencil smelling air.
nice video i got the same regulator $45.00 for my scott 45cf tank i found on ebay for like 115.00 with a good hydro to 2023 an the tank is good to 2021 ,they wan to make these tanks good for 30 years, $1200,00 is what these tanks cost for a new one ,so got it an my holder an electric pump are on the way,yes the pump can now new had for $225.00 on ebay
Great video! 👍🏻 and thank u for the advices. Just got mine couple of days back but didn’t have the chance to try it yet. I would just like to ask about the one way valve... is it on Aliexpress? Co honestly i couldn’t find it! And thank u once again
Question - is the valve between the little black Yong Heng filter and the gold Tuxing filter NECESSARY? Like is that something you MUST do in order for it to be safe? What about the valve between the gold Tuxing filter and the scba tank, is that absolutely necessary also?
I wouldn't recommend using ice in the water bucket to help with cooling. Here is my reasoning for why: As I am sure you are aware metal will expand and contract when the temperature is changed and if the change is too aggressive it can even crack like putting a hot glass in cold water. When pumping ice cold water through the cylinder head the cold water is going to cause the metal to want to contract. The piston on the other hand is going to be generating a lot of heat due to friction and want to expand. If the cylinder contracts or gets smaller and the piston expands or gets larger this is going to create more friction on the cylinder walls and possibly cause compression issues down the road. Although the pump does run hot it really shouldn't be an issue as long as the water flow continues. If you are concerned about the water temperature just use a larger source of water but I would definitely avoid sudden temperature changes in the middle of a pumping cycle. Just a perspective to consider. Thanks for taking the time to make a review video!
Thank you Anthony. That makes sense to me. Before starting my pump I run cold water for a few minutes while I set things up then drop a block of ice about a square foot into a 5 gallon bucket and start the pump immediately. As the temp of the top cylinder trys to rise it's gradually offset by the metaling ice my temp stays around 35 to 45C. What do thing about using coolant? Many people have asked me.
temp sensor is just sitting in the block aluminum (or stainless steal if it's not aluminum). I guess it could thread into the block instead of just resting in there, but it's not all that strange that it just sits in there loose like that. It's detecting the temperature of the compression body material, once it overheats, it will cut off the power most likely saving the life of your compressor for another day.
i am new to the hobby , Your videos have been very helpful, trying to get SCBA 4500 PSI tank , the only reasonably priced on Ebay is from China "Acecare" ever heard of them , is it safe to buy , , Thanks , appreciate your response
i recently welded a compartment on the side and added a resovior and i used a radiator for a water cooled cpu and ran 2 120 mm fans putting out the side of the box and used a inline pump (also for a water cooled computer) and all the fittings and lines have been redone with 1/4 hydraulic hose with crimped an fittings so everything is more reliable. if you want to do this basically just look up how to water cool a pc and pretend the cylinder on your compressor is the cpu block. also alot of napa auto parts can crimp you hydraulic hoses if you decide to go that route but just regular line and clamps work to
Bought the simple version compressor and keeps tripping my house breaker after a few minutes trying to fill my air venturi 74 cu ft.. have any idea what's going on? Thanks
Taking a chance on one through Amazon ( I know- overpriced but it’s on time payment) Hope I have good luck with it. Thanks for the very informative video- will be referring to it when it arrives.
Yes you are correct about your selected tanks. My concern is for the well being of the public unawares of using SCUBA tanks as you mentioned having a dive shop filling your tank. Also, if the dive shop is honest and they are checking the tanks for certification and your tank does not have one - no fill. Be safe and do not try shortcuts.
Hey Man... Hows it going... Did you get hit with the big "Noreaster" snow up there?... Man i wish it still snowed like that here in KY. Those days are gone. Global warming done away with the Ol' Fashion winters here that i grew up with. If my kids are very lucky they MAY get 1 snow day to play out in per year... Anyway, Got a Quick Question... About that eBay fill system you got... They have them listed as 6000psi "DN2 Micro-Bore" hoses. Now, I know they are good lil' fill whips and well worth the $40-$50 bucks... *HOWEVER, Im just wanting to know... Are they REAL "Micro-Bore" hoses??? Or are they just "REGULAR" fill hoses??? ...Cause see i was thinking of buying just one of the 36" hoses by itself for something i need a "Micro-Bore" hose specifically for, and i would love to save the money by buying one of theirs but id hate to get it, only to find its not really a true "small ID Micro-Bore" and then still have to go and buy another one. Lol They say it is when i ask but i have the feeling whomever i was talking to didnt even really know what a Micro-Bore hose really was lol So i thought id better ask you first since you have one. Anyway, Have a Good One man. Talk at ya later''' ~DrJones~ [03/13/18]
DrJones not much snow in New York west of Suffolk county. The few inches that came down are completely melted. No snow day for my daughter today. Yes, the micro bore is pretty good. It not those fat hoses that waste a crap load of air. Mine is 36" micro bore and it's great. All the best!
I agree with huntjunky1, I use the same method, I have a similar compressor for over a year now, one thing, if starts not filling up to the desire pressure or not passing above certain pressure, it is just the second stage "brown rings" that have to be changed, sure you see on the spare parts sent with it, also you can buy for very cheap a packet of 10 for replacement in the future. That only happened to my after lots of hours of use, after a year. I suggest o put a extra water trap/desiccant to avoid getting on your gun/bottle. These compressor are very easy to maintain, repair, once you learn how they works, very simple and plenty parts available for cheap. Nice review!!
thanks for a well thought out and presented video explanation , but I think fur around the same cash outlay, maybe the nomad 2 electric compressor may work for those who would be looking to just fill the guns and buddy bottles, but not a large air tank, thanks again for the video👍
ps.. I doesn't matter what the total pressure is... they all run off regulators... since the guns cannot handle 3600 psi probably more like 500 psi or less.
Good review man if it works for you GREAT it works for me to upside down tank and purge, I have a vacuum pump that I sometimes use to evacuate the tank before I fill it about every third fill just to get everything out for sure
I am a multi college degree manufacturing expert, (tons of machining exp in the field), who has been pissed off about communist products since the 80's, and have yet to find any product from china that holds up to good quality and engineering standards, unless it is as simple as a broomstick. If you fill two big bottles a week, my money says this thing does not last 6 months. It is too complicated and too cheap, (not just price). If anybody has one, uses it weekly, and working fine after 6 months, you should win a million dollars from the commie company. That is the lottery you are playing, as we fill up our land fills 4 times as fast with junk. Do I sound too opinionated? 30 plus years of junk will do that to a man. :)
Yes, i agree that these compressors are not built to the higher standard that we Americans do. That being said it comes down to first to safety and then cost. At this point my Cooper union biochemical engineer friend has assured me that the components that retain the high pressure will be safe to 2x the working pressure of 300bar or 4250 psi. For me at least, it comes down to cost and maintenance. I ran my pump for a year and 3 months before the upper Piston failed. I fill on average one bottle a week from 3000psi to 4250psi. It starts off taking 11 minutes to top off and toward the end of the high pressure Piston orings life it will take 20 minutes. Clearly the rings have worn too much. The solution is $55 for a replacement of the upper Piston andnhousing. I also clean the oil out if the high side aluminum block and change check valve orings. That's still way cheaper and cost effective than spending $1300 to $5000 for ammuch better compressor that still needs maintenance. I basically get the job done at 1/3 of the cost?
Considering taking the plunge as my air tank is difficult to fill now as there are no local shops that do it. One question though and that is how much oil is needed when filling from empty
I've just bought another version of these pcp compressor, the 12 volt one for 500 usd without even researching (because you can use your car battery)... only then i started browsing and find your video.. Thank you, this is the best video on this subject.. but man.. i'm second guessing my choice now.. well, I guess I have to buy another one.. lol
Turning the tank upside down and opening the valve does not evacuate water. There is a tube inside under the valve so unless you have a ton of water it will become trapped behind the tube when turned upside down.
alot people are claiming that in appox 5 years we will start seeing carbon HPA tanks start to fail because people are using crappy air filtration, oil & water separators. since so many people can fill from home... I wish someone would do a inside visual inception who has been using these chineese compressors.
I had my two carbon fiber tanks visually inspected at year two with no signs of pitting on the aluminum inner tanks. I was worried about water. My scuba shop said that he would not fill my tanks because of the smell of hydraulic oil which could possibly backup into his very expense compressor and filter system even with his check valves he would not take a chance since divers air quality has to be top notch. I will take it back to him next year as that will be the 4 year I have had my two tanks for a visual.
Tomcat airguns just did a video where he cut open an scba tank and on the valve there is a stem about 4” long according to him you can’t tip the tank to drain water unless there is at least enough to cover the stem I got the yong heng and love it. Great video. Thanks
Do you get quite a bit of oil in the low pressure bleed and in the high pressure line? Mine likes to get a bunch of oil in the lines..... wondering if I'm the only one.
Water is from humidity in the air being compressed. Oil would be from a bad O ring on your first stage piston. Or the wrong oil. Not all hydraulic oil is the same. Make sure you are using good 4600 hydraulic oil. Not hydraulic oil for hydrostatic drives, power steering, or brakes. 4600 hydraulic oil has the highest flash point, and is designed for extreme high pressure use.
How is your yong heng holding up been nearly a year since you posted this video. I bought one it crapped out within very short time I’m either going to chance another or just get either the AV or the Hatsan lightning Is yours still running.
Yes, still running well. I did another video with an update. As long as you don't run them long or hard they should hold up if they don't crap out at the beginning. Sorry about yours. Did you true to have it repaired?
I put the desc and link in the video as well SCBA Paintball Air Rifle Fill Station Refill Charging Adaptor 36" Microbore Hose www.ebay.com/itm/172848971930
This may be a dumb question but here goes, couldn't you adapt the fill hose from eBay to fill the SCBA tank from the compressor? like with a Male to Male foster? I just bought one so I'm wondering if I need the CGA 347 and reducer(etc..)
Andy Cash not a dumb question at all. Yes you can. It has a cga347 that fits the SCBA tank then add a foster quick disconnect to the cga347. You may need a 1/4 npt to 1/8 npt adapter.
Thanks again for the video! I will share this; I purchased a "blue" compressor off of Ebay that looked identical in the pictures to the Young Heng and it had a "best offer" feature in the listing. They were selling for $282 free shipping so I offered $275 and they accepted. When it showed up I unpacked it to find out that it was a Young Heng...I was pleased and it works great. My only problem I had was with putting the CGA347 fill adapter together. I bought Parts from Amazon and ebay only to find out I didn't pay attention to the Threads. NTP and BSPP do not mesh and Jive! hahah. Maybe if you make another video you could mention that to save other guys like me some time. Thanks again, My hand pump is in the closet for good!
Air Velocity. Fantastic video! Could you please give us links to the parts you used for the connection to the SCPA tank. i.e the CGA 347, the stainless steel 'T' piece, the Stainless Bleed valve, the 1/4'' to 1/8'' reducer and the male foster connector.
friend my compressor yong heng does not turn on the ignition and I stop turning on the light was weak and it got a little hot and only a sound of a clip and it does not turn on I have a few minutes that this happened. I must wait for it to cool
It could be the power relay under the cover. I would return it and get a new one. If they give you a hard time just call you credit card issuer and they will force the merchant to do the right thing and protect you.
Yes, still very good . I ve changed oil to Secco Lube 500 which is used in the food industry and my air is clean. The high pressure piston is free from carbon build up that hydraulic oil causes
Hello guys I'm wondering if a can get more air pressure to my tank whith the young hang compresor or this is the recommended pressure for all tanks. If I can get more pressure how can I do my compresor shouts off at 4500 psi.
Got my first PCP: the FX Streamline. Do you know approximately how many fills a 90ci Ninja tank could do on a .22 cal FX Streamline? So going from 3300 PSI down to whatever PSI it's at after 60 regulated shots, and then fill up again to 3300 PSI? I'm completely new to PCPs and I don't plan to use a hand pump to fill 230 bar of pressure. Thank you for any input.
Rogue-Spear I don't know but from my experience I will venture to guess that a 90ci 4500psi buddy bottle will top off a fx streamline from 2100 psi to 3300psi anywhere from 4 to 7 times. The streamline is 190cc or 11.6 ci . I fill 13ci Ninja bottle often so that what I'm basing it on.I would be curious to know myself as I'm thinking about getting one of those 90ci to carry around. .
I ordered the same SCBA Fill Station off of eBay from China but haven't received it yet. However, my question to you is this: Can you simply use a Quick Disconnect Double Male fitting between the compressor hose and the SCBA Fill Station hose to connect the two together when filling the tank as opposed to changing to the CGA347 fittings that you made? With the exception of the longer travel for the air to move through the two hoses is there any other reason or issues you were trying to address? Does the SCBA Fill Station from China have some kind of check valve or other restriction to prevent air from flowing in reverse to fill the tank? Thanks in advance.
Dollar Projects not sure if it's meant to run that long but I would recommend running it 30 minutes with a 15 minute cool down. I'm more concerned with the bearing-less crank that the rings on the piston. If it had a ball bearing ring on the crank arm I think it could run longer. But metal on metal even with the #46 hydrolic oil will eventually wear.
Has your compressor held up so far? Since your original purchase? If so how many times have you used it? How much time did you operate it for each use?
My first went for over two years before I broke the top Piston. Not the fault of the Yong Heng but it was my fault. I used it very often. It would be a safe to say I used it at least once every other week. Each time I used it was to top off my two 88cu ft tanks from 3000 to 4200 psi about 12 minutes for each tank. My second compressor is going strong almost a year now. I very happy with this compressor but it's not trouble free. Just minor issues like orings and small leak in the hose. Fixed easily.
this compresser is junk when I bought it was froze up after about two days playing with it freed it didn't pump any air I got a hold of yong heng they want pictures they sent and that was not good then they want a video and that wasn''t enough and I haven't heard from so much for their warranty it already been about 6 to 8 weeks they do not want to stand behind their product
Yes, I agree that some of these pumps are built sub par. My first pump was a lemon. They were going to pay to have it fixed but I refused. So they sent me a second one at no cost to me. That one is still working a year later. If they give you are hard time call your credit card company to dispute the charge and they will protect you. Sorry you are have a crappy experience. These are cheap in price and some of them are going to be crap while others will work well.
Hey dose the air have like a burnt oil smell to it when u fill ur tank??? Mine dose , but today is first time using it ,, dose it do that on urs or did it do that the first time u used???
Kevin Alt yes but as you use it more that smell diminishes. Change your oil more often in the beginning. I changed each time I ran for 20 minutes the first 3 times now I run it about 2 hours before changing the oil.
The smell is from the hydraulic oil. Oil blow by will reduce after break in. Do not use regular air compressor oil, not even the synthetic. Under these high pressures it can ignite, causing an explosion! Smell can be reduced and wear on internal O rings by adding a drop of pure 100% silicone oil to the air intake on the compressor. This will cause the cotton filter to get wet and dirty quicker too. Do change the hydraulic oil frequently. It is not as good of a lubircant as oil, but oil will explode. 100% silicone oil would work better, but figure $18.00/oz. And you still need to change it just as often to remove dirt and metal particles from wear. I use a water trap, fallowed by a cotton filter/desiccant filter, then the whip. I put a female fitting on the filter where the whip came, and a female fitting on the end of the whip. Now I can use the little cotton filter that came with the pump when I fill from the compressor, or from tank to gun, and with my Hill hand pump. Cotton filters not only catch dirt. They absorb water, oil (silicone, or hydraulic). A drop of silicone oil (only 100% pure silicone oil) in the fill port on your gun will help prevent O rings from drying out, and lubes internal parts. Most of the time it can fix slow leak downs too.
I would not use this compressor for any application involving breathing unless you have a very sophisticated air filtration system. If you did have a good filtration system you would probably have a better compressor
Any one can answer me .can this compressor fill 80 cubic feet diving cylinder tank continuously or need to break in between to cool down n how much time will be needed for the same thanks
Yes it can. It's a good idea to run this compressor for no more than 20 minutes at a time. If you have a good cooling source that can keep the temperature below 49C then you can run it longer. I use a solid block of ice in my 5 gallon bucket which keeps the water cold for about 30 minutes.
Hi , Thank you for the video. When I used to take my Tank to the gun shop to get it filled,,He used to put the AIR TANK in a large tank of water.?.. I suppose if the AIR TANK gets HOT it could create moisture in theTANK. Now I do not own one as of yet,but maybe for the future I will condider this Version of Compressor.. You did not mention your reciever TANK Getting hot,,so could you please explain why he did this,,if the Reciever tank does get hot,, Maybe he was doing the right thing.. He has since retired and sold the shop and all his stock,So getting my tank filled,it would probably have to go to a Dive shop,or,, People who deal with fire extinguishers.. Colin.UK.
No my tank does not get hot especially when you're topping off from 3,000 to 4000 very slowly. It is possible that he tops it off very quickly which will create heat in the tank but I also suspect that he places it in water in the event of a rupture. it probably serves two purposes one to keep the tank cool and the second is in case of catastrophe. Because you will be feeling very slowly you do not need to worry about heat buildup.
Mike Whit Yes, it's a definite buy. I will make an update video soon. The Yong heng is totally worth it. Just do not over work it. I only fill to 4200psi and I run it very cold with ice.
Thank you. Wanted to get one but was not sure if it was worth the buy. Plus now the wife shoots she now watches video reviews. So i know i can trust your reviews. Thank you again.
Great video. As someone who has pumped high pressure air for over twenty years for Scuba diving, I thought I would inform you of a few things. - The second valve you didn't know what it does is probably a water separator dump valve. - Your SCBA tank valve probably has a "dip tube" or "snorkel tube", so holding the tank upside down may not remove all the water. I would highly recomend a descicant filter to absorb water. - You should be very careful of high pressure air hoses, they can move at super sonic speeds if they fail. Just trying to be helpful.
Glenn McFland thank you for the insight. Usually open both bleed valves after filling. I have noticed a few drops of water from that second lower bleed valve. Thanks. How can we protect ourselves from those hoses that may fail and move at supersonic speeds? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Air Velocity Sport I would open the water trap valve first to allow the air to push the water out. On larger systems, a water trap would be opened several times during the pumping process. As far as the hose, distance is your friend. Keeping the hose short is a good idea. There are "tethered" or "sheilded" hoses, but they are really expensive. You seem to be well informed and my goal is to add to your knowledge base and keep people safe.. Open the water trap valve first and see if you can add some descicant inside that little filter. This might work to control water vapor. Allowing water into the cylinder isn't good. High pressure air is deceptively dangerous, please stress that to your viewers.
@ Air Velocity Sport - I've tried a couple of methods to help protect myself from the potential death-blow of an air hose. One method I've tried is to use an old sock or two as a protective tube covering the quick connect fittings and then use a zip tie on each end of the sock. In this manner the sock prevents the hose from whipping around too much if something gives. Although it can still jump around to some minor degree. Another method I've tried is to use velcro straps in conjunction with a small stationary square of plywood with pre-drilled holes to secure the hoses just behind the hose connection fittings on both sides (or ends). This method is by far more secure but is a little more cumbersome.
The important thing to remember is that not all hoses and fittings are created equal. Think hydraulic, not plumbing. Fittings from Home Depot won't work. Companies like Parker, Swadgelock, and Western Safety are good resources.
When I release the air line from a mere 200psi compressor, it snaps quite fast. But also the volume of air is important. In a manual pump the volume is small but not sure what would happen if the line failed A motorcycle helmet might be a good idea when working with these
I cant find a good priced one of these anywhere , stateside or otherwise.. that seems to come with hoses for cooling and fill whip... just bought an impact mkii .25 and have no way to fill it currently.. needless to say its driving me insane lol. HELP :? D:
@@AirVelocitySport i saw some but all in china :( in the meantime do you or anyone on here know where i could go to ask for a fill? Firehouses maybe? Tips appreciated, im new to pcps!
Does the compressor come with all the hoses and things for the water bucket and I can use it out of the box or do I have to buy something else to make it work for me?
Air Venturi is one of our sponsors and have not tested one of the units yet. But I personally have the Omega compressor, but looking for small one to send to Puerto Rico to fill out teams rifles. Tanks for the info
drekceldude i use 46 hydraulic oil. I believe that iso 46 compressor oil is the same basic anti wear high viscosity as 46 hydraulic oil. Manufacturer recommends 46 hydraulic oil.
I wanted to share this with you in case you or others had not seen it, and if so if you had any opinon or information on its quality. You are probably aware, but I just saw it today and thought you might find it usefull, and thought I would take a chance that there might be one thing you don't know about airguns. :-) This is a 12V 300 BAR, portable, vehicle mounted compressor. This compressor does not require oil, and even better, it does not require water. From what I gather they can do this because they use a high-pressure piston ring made out of high grade aluminum, rather than rubber, which is what the water cooled compressors use to my understanding. They also have a cooling jacket 360 degrees around all the cylinders, which combats the heat. They basically took the cooling system of a combustion engine and made a bore bridge between the first and second cylinders which runs the circumfrence of all the cylinders. It's pretty ingenious. Although it can pump to 300 BAR, they recommend stopping at 250 BAR to prolong the piston ring cylinder and seals. Anyway, appreciate any input you folks might have about this compressor. www.1ct1c.com/product/no-4-generation-vehicle-mounted-12v-300bar-compressor/
