Re: Compressor gets hot and blows line

Matthew,
So everything is OK now? When the line blew after only a minute, had the compressor been running for a long time before that? I am asking because one minute is much less than I would consider for the output temp to be so high. For all teams, this little compressor has a duty cycle spec. It really only expects to be run for a short time with a long off time in between so that it can cool down.
