    Congratulations Mike,
    i have the same in my shop in Italy, but with automatic stop and condensate drain.
    Change the oil every 50-100 hours should increase the life of the compressor and it's cheaper than a repair.

    ACK!!! You actually bought a 13. Now I am not sure if the shipping guy labeled it wrong or the assembly guy built you a bonus! Of course, bonuses wouldn't be the first time. I think I sent you a larger manifold for the second one you ordered since I am short one of the 7 outlet ones and have an extra 5 outlet one like you ordered.

    Man ... I hate getting old!

    You can tall the difference by looking at the name plate on the motor. If it is 5.5 hp it is a 13. If it says 7.5 hp it is a 16.

    Ray yes you are right. It is a 13 with the 5.5 hp motor. I assumed wrong out of excitement when I first got it! I can't wait for the hyperfiter and thank you again! You are very fast to work with and your prices are great!
