Re: What do you think about mounting an air compressor vertically?

In addition to what's already been said:

Not all motors are designed to run in a vertical orientation. As in there may not be thrust bearings designed to take an axial load like you would see when mounted in a vertical position. Running the compressor like this may lead to failure. Then again I could be wrong!
