Winter is almost here in Oregon. This is the first time I’ve had to seriously winterize the utilities. I need to blow out the water from all the water lines and the Rinnai on-demand hot water heater. Instead of using a small utility compressor, I decided to use a higher volume electric tire pump. I settled on the Viair 88p. This sucker is rated at consuming 17 amps of power. Wow.
The next challenge is how to adapt a hose intended for filling a tire with air to 1/2 PEX? I shopped around and came up with a three part assembly. It uses a Camco blow out assembly, an adapter, and a Sharkbite fitting from Home Depot.
