Ohhh yea, that is a nice control.  I might have to get me one of those.  It sure gives you a lot of control.

Hi Russ,
I was wondering if we could get a picture showing how you got the 2660 vacuum pump set up and any comments you have about it?  Was wondering if I should use a little tank with it or does it pump air straight to the nozzle and what's the max rating on the regulator you use?
Thanks!

Russ:
No tank, just straight from the compressor to the regulator.  I use a needle valve on a T connector coming out of the pump so I can bleed off the excess air.  The pump does produce more air than is needed, so you could add a tank and on/off pressure switch, but it was simpler just to add the T and needle valve.

Russ:
The pump works wonderfully.  It is quiet and power efficient and produces more than enough air for the heater.  I would never think of going back to a full size compressor.
