Taken from BigEvil review on the compressor:

Oh alright, missed that bit. Thanks.

Tom said it wouldn't be safe to use it because of the time under which it would be exposed on such high PSI, didn't he?

Well if that's the case, something needs to be in place before these pumps go live or everyone buying one is SOL.....

Hopefully Mr. Kaye got a solution.

ninja just emailed me back, said they could do it (female to female whip) and would give me quote next week...

I just got some Macro line to use with mine.

I really wish I had pics of my hand after 1,000 PSI through macro blew up in my palm. That was one impressive bruise. I don't even wanna know what 4500 would feel like. Ouch.

Mr. "I hate macro line" whaaa?!?!?

I've got about nine feet of micro line if you'd rather use that.

I've got a ninja fill whip that I plan on swapping the end to another female. It is rated for 4500 psi. I have used it to fill my 4500 psi tank a few times now without issue.

If someone else want to weigh in on this, go ahead. But I'm fairly positive the answer is "YES, you can do this". The compressor has to get to 3000 psi before it gets to 4500 psi, and it won't jump from 2800 to 3700 all of a sudden. If you are watching it, just turn it off when it gets to 3k.

I had a discussion with someone about this in one of the other compressor threads. Basically, you can find out how long it takes to fill an empty tank up to 3k psi, let's say 2 hours. Get a timer that you can plug the ShoeBox and shop compressor into. Set the timer for 2 hours. It will shut everything off after 2 hours and you should have a full 3k psi tank without having to watch it.

I like the idea but what IF your hamster/dog/two year old knocks the timer off the wall or the timer fails. You may just have a blown burst disk. Or, as mentioned, you would fill your house with air!

Right, but again, 3k tanks have 5k burst disk and are hydro tested to 5000 psi. So a fill to 4500 psi "shouldn't" hurt it or even blow the disk.

Was sitting next to a buddy when his macro blew, his marker was in his lap. I didn't want to see the bruise but from the way he acted it was painful. Chris

For instance, the chains stretch as a normal part of breaking in. If you can't look at this product and figure out how to tension the chains, I don't want to sell you one from the first batch.

-I think I might know a guy...



I'll be happy to see that he gets one...

Doc.

it will. i've had 5k disks blow at a 3k hot fill.

What about grease gun hoses? they come in 12''-24'' lengths, have 1/8 NPT threads and are available with suitable pressure ratings, only thing is being designed for grease I don't know if they would hold air pressure or not.

McmasterCarr has a good selection here anyway, cheap too.

Well...I didn't say they ALWAYS work
