Re: compressor

Just in case your superglue fix doesn't work out Thomas(supplier of the compressor) does sell rebuild kits and replacement parts for these compressors. There is another thread that covers parts for the Thomas compressors.
Just an obvious word of caution from someone who works with pneumatics everyday- if a fitting, connector, hose, valve, ect. cracks or gets damaged some way its best to depressurize the system and replace it ASAP. Wether the part is plastic or metal glueing it or taping it isn't a permanent fix and since the part will handle various degrees of internal pressure and possibly getting jolted around from externally the part can fail without notice either by blowing a high stream of air and/or pieces of the part and in the case of a hose not tied down, whipping around violently. Even 60# (about 4 bars) is enough to launch broken pnuematics parts several yards. I know this might have seemed like "fatherly advice" but when working with ANY pressurized system you must be careful with it. Pnuematics are a lot of fun to work with and let's all keep it that way.
