DC7500 Compressor?

[DragginDimes726]

i have had a DC7500 for a little while know. I need to know if you can mount them on their side or not? It seems like you could, i just wanted to know if this would have any short or long term effects on the compressor? Thanks

[DragginDimes726]

Lol.....so no one knows if this compressor can be mounted on its side?

[DragginDimes726]

So I just confirmed that the compressor is an oil-less one, so I'm assuming that its fine to mount it on its side. If anyone has a different idea please chim in.....

[baggedout81]

yeah i've seen em mounted on there side b4.I just wouldnt mount it upside down

I had mine mounted on its side man, worked fine with no problems.

Be sure to use some stout bolts, grade 8 or something. Damn thing is heavy as hell.

I got one upside down and haven't had any problems with it.

[frostystones]

I was going to say, if its oil-less, you should be able to mount it any which way.

[rstadelmaier]

i mean you don't need grade 8 for it. definitel some lock washers and maybe even loctite

[HighrollerII]

as stated, you can mount it up, down, upside down, vertical, horizontal, diagonal....basically anyway you want, haha

i have an old DC7000 and i LOVE it.....almost faster than my 2 480s combined

[colbye32]

I think they only rate them at 150psi too.

I never ran mine past that, but I know they will build way more than 150psi

[HighrollerII]

i ran mine to 200 daily for 2 years no problem

[colbye32]

Oh Ok

[DragginDimes726]

Other than it being loud, my dc7500 runs circles around viars

[colbye32]

Yeah, my viair is slow as hell, and it's brand new. It's never even pumped a tank of air.

So glad it's just a backup and that I have my Edc.

I Might remove the viair and hook up the dc7500 in it's place, mine is just sitting in the garage, it's nearly brand new.

i'm not sure if i have a 5000 or 7000 but i love the thing. got it used, bought a rebuild kit.... kicks ass
