mounting compressor on a vertical surface
Greetings,
Our electrical board is getting tight this year. Has anyone attempted to mount the "new" smaller compressor on a vertical surface? Would that cause problems with the working of the unit? Thanks in advance. |

Re: mounting compressor on a vertical surface
This type of compressor can be mounted in any orientation, just make sure to secure it well.

Re: mounting compressor on a vertical surface
It's fine mounted vertically. We've tested it.
We have run a compressor mounted vertically for about a week now with no problems. It runs just fine, and stores air just as fast as when it is mounted horizontally. |

Re: mounting compressor on a vertical surface
From VIAIR's website:
"You can mount in any direction or position since VIAIR compressors are oil-less. The only position we do not recommend is an upside-down mount, since heat tends to travel upward, and does not dissipate well in the motor housing. A sideways mounting may reduce the life of the piston seal, since everything is governed by gravity and has a weight associated with it." |
