Message: [QUOTE="fifty, post: 127366, member: 2498"] I have a 1910 era air compressor, two stage with a 100 gallon riveted tank...yep riveted...Driven by a leather belt... Anyways, so there I was firing it up to about 80 psi to run a sanding wheel...when I noticed the 3/8 inch female coupling to the air hose was leaking air... Well this part was made in 2010, so there I go with a wrench to tighten it just a hair to get rid of the leak... POP/BANG/POW...what ever you want to call it, followed by a seriously loud scream....oh and a serious pain to my thigh... My leg hurt, but I wanted to get the garage door open so I could hear myself think...SO I open the door... Its now time to look down and see how much blood I am loosing and how bad the injury is...After all, that chunk of metal felt like it went right through me... I was wearing shorts...the piece hit me in the leg, bounced off...Left a big bruise...hurt like hell...I was very lucky... Anyone have a part number on the o-ring and clamp? If I am taking it off again I am replacing it. [/QUOTE]
