    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    Has anyone come up with a handy way to store the fill whip on the machine? Its a DIN 300 connection and there is no holder for it built into the machine as others have shown with different fill adapters.

    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    Well I got the replacement parts from the guys at Alkin. They were very quick to help me out, only took a couple days and parts were on route to me. I have had the parts for a bit over a week now and finally got around to installing them. Only took a few minutes to complete. Haven't filled a...

    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    You could talk to Alkin and see what options they would have. The manual has a different on/off switch so that may affect the pressure switch addition.

    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    Well took me while to make up my mind but I ordered a compressor a couple weeks ago. Shipping was delayed a bit so it could be delivered while I was on days off. So this Friday is the big day. Have an Alkin W31 vertical with the auto features on the way. Also ordered extra intake filters...

    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    Appreciate all the advice about this. I am leaning towards the manual version as there are less things to potentially cause problems. Less electronics and solenoids. Just some simple manual drain valves. But the auto version would be handy for stepping away while running for a safety aspect...

    Alkin W31 vertical. Manual or auto version?

    Hi, New member of the forum. I have been reading articles and advice here for some time. I currently own an FX royal 400 and my dad has a FX royal 400 and 500. We both fill off of 88cuft 4500 PSI tanks. So I am planning to order an Alkin W31vertical compressor to more than fill my air...
