Big Tank air

Hello,
do you know if the first impose constraints on the use of such a tank ?

I couldn’t find any information about this.

Thanks,
Gaspard

You should be good to go with this tank.

The main thing in the rules that can get you is pressure rating and cosmetic modifications. R802. R803

Andymark rates this tank at 170psi, so you are good there.

Just don’t paint it, anodized, or vinyl wrap it. That’s where many folks can run afoul of the rules. There may be better options for cosmetic “covers” that slip off easy and are not modifications.

As far as shipping to Europe, I am not sure on those details…

Thank you very much, and I can’t see two bores on the tank, is there any specific items to add into ?

Assuming you are talking about the input ports:

Listed there are 1/4" and 3/8" npt, which would need appropriate hard fittings to interface with the common FRC push fittings for air line or to plug that port. The metric equivalents are not going to work here because you have to use to use the provided threads in the ports (no modifications).

So you will need appropriate hard fittings (commonly brass) to get down to the common FRC press fittings that interface with the 1/4" (6mm) of tubing. See R804

This tank is rated to a high enough pressure it can exist in-between the compressor and the regulator if you want it to.

Can you use 1/4" tubing with 6mm press fit connectors?

auto correct is fun…

1/4" (6mm) OD tubing

from the manual R804 part d:

D. additional pneumatic tubing, with a maximum ¼ in. (nominal, ~6 mm) outside diameter,

Thank you for your information !!

One thing to note, most, if not all inspectors will recognize the Andymark Tank, but there are NO markings on it at all (we just got one to use as well), so I would recommend having your purchase receipt handy in your pit to show the inspector if they happen to ask about it.

For sure keep your receipts and a printout of the product specs is helpful as well. We did this when we where running some nonstandard pneumatic tubing and large air tanks from lowriderdepot
