I was thinking the other day about putting an airport on the outside of my garage. No, a QC fitting, not a runway...
the Air compressor is not too far from the wall between the big door and the people door. I frequently run the air hose out to air up tires, blow out dusty things, and to run air nailers when i assemble a larger project on the patio nearby. But I don't like it going thru the doors.
So I was thinking about drilling a 1/2" hole and running a small (4" or 6") of 1/4" pipe nipple thru it. Clamp the pipe to the 2x4 stud running next to the hole, and put male QC stud on the inside and a female QC on the outside. Most of the time I would leave a hose connected between the inside stud and the compressor manifold.
I usually turn off the compresor when not being used.
Good idea, bad idea? Negative for future owners? Better ideas?
