You can easily step up to a 3/4" NPT strain relief and pipe flange to make your life easier. Note of caution: Many of the 1/2" strain releifs I tried did not have a large enough opening for the 1/4" pipe to pass through. The cable strain relief something I had, but can be purchased from an online supplier like Allied Electronics, or you may find something like it at a local electrical supply house. The air fittings are from the local home improvement store. The pipe flange, nipple, and fittings I got from a company online as no local store carried much in the way of black iron pipe in the 1/4" size. I tried to keep the parts count as low as possible to keep with the clean look.

Every time I would stop at gas station that had a repair garage I would look and see if they had an airline outside and how it was installed. I spent a while trying to figure this project out to make it look good. Sounds great, yes? But his brings up a few issues of its own.ġ) Any work you do on a house you own should be well crafted, and designed to last a while and not rust or make a mess.Ģ) It should be designed with weather in mind, and should not compromise the envelope of your house.ģ) If is mounted in a place where you can see it, it should look nice, and not like a large kluged together eyesore Just power up the compressor in the basement, hook up your airline outside and you are off and working. So the best plan would be to just mount some kind of airline permanently on the outside of my house, with quick connector fitting, to the place where most projects happen. So the compressor lives its life in one place. Dedicated 220 volt outlets are expensive. My compressor lives in the basement, near my electrical panel, which makes sense as it is a 220 volt compressor, and its big and heavy and hard to move. Especially when it would mean not uncoiling and running hoses on ridiculous paths through your house every time you would like to do any project. So having an air outlet located in the place where you use it most often is a wonderful thing to have. I am a hobby woodworker, so pneumatic nailer and stapler use is a common weekend activity.
