Washington St. Kokomo, IN 46901". Heck, we may even send the pump back with some surprises.

Andy, I just ordered a new Thomas 215 and had it delivered to AndyMark. We've been meaning to try one and this seems like the perfect time. Thanks for running these tests, I'll PM you a return address.

We also have two of these compressors with the old label on the body. They are a nice compressor and we were disappointed when Viair changed the ratings on the website. It called into question if we should run them in the future given the difference in labeling. Happy to see this one will get bench marked as well.
