Looks like you install that pressure switch side ways. The center port (on the very bottom) is supposed to be fitted to the air tank. And than all the other ports are connected to the appropriate outlet uses. Of course it works because all the ports are built together sharing the same air and pressure. But if you look, the center port at the very bottom is designed for a wrench to tighten it on the stub out from the tank... All other ports will have the male fittings installed to use with a wrench. Thumbs Up!
Hi. Thanks for the great video. I bought a small air compressor probably 5 years ago. Been stored in my heated basement till today. Put compressor oil in it, opened the release valve on bottom of tank and let it run for 30 minutes as per instructions. Changed the oil and when I plugged it back in the motor worked but the compressor did not. TIA if you can help.

Yes, I guess we can thank the engineers at HF for the design as it's not conducive for easy assembling but it works in the end!
Thanks

You’re welcome!
My air compressor hits 145psi and it starts popping and shaking just like it shutting off and coming back on , and help will be appreciated thanks
Is it the same Central Pneumatic 125 psi compressor?
Screw a piece of steel pipe into one of the side outlets and lever tight with that.
Where were you a few months ago with this idea! 😉

So it’s not building pressure? Or is the motor just humming? What brand compressor and size?
Will all pressure switches accept 110 or 220 volt ?
Read the pressure switch specs. It will tell you what it’s rated for.
