So the UPS man came this evening, my Ready Air 12500 Air Compressor that I bought from a fellow 'Mudder is finally in my possession. This will be officially my first mod (does OBA qualify as a mod?) to my 80, and am excited to get it all rigged up.
Does anybody else have any experience with this model and mounting? I would appreciate any input and advice in general. It can be mounted in any position... here are the specs:
Two-Stage Strength
Ready Air Two-Stage Installed Air Compressor
Model #12500
Available as a unit ready to install in a vehicle with an ASME 200# (or more)
air receiver(s) and wire into its 12-volt electrical system for fully automatic
operation. Unit is equipped with a check valve, a 200# ASME relief valve, a
pressure switch that opens at 175 psi, and a continuous-duty solenoid
wired to the motor and pressure switch, all mounted on a steel base.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rating: 12-volt dc
Grade: Industrial
Style: Installed in-place or in-vehicle, in any position
Dimensions: 12"W x 8"H x 18"L
Output: 1.1 cfm of air @ 175 psi on continuous duty
Requirements: Uses only 42 amps @ full load
Features: Two-stage, oil-less
Price: Please Call
Weight: 47 lbs.
Part #: 12500
As you can see it's heavier and bulkier than alot of other units, so I'm really scratching my head as to how/where to mount it most efficiently. After I acquire one, I will have a tank as well. I would like to have the switch on the dash, so wiring is going to get tricky.
