cheaper compresor
- Thread starter douger
- Start date
depends if you want a Yong Heng or a clone. They seem to all be made in small workshops in China somewhere. eBay- they run $200 and up, Amazon runs typically over $300 for the same compressors. Some looked on Ali Express, but all seemed to be in the $200 and up range.
I'd definitely buy from US Stock, don't have it shipped from China, as Returns are a bit difficult

I just purchased this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263441639326
It will be at my house on Saturday. it's not the auto shut off but I'm sure I can add that later, it's only a pressure switch anyway.

@douger, any 100% synthetic compressor oil will work. I use the Royal Purple Synfilm. Can you post a photo of the Yong Heng you bought? There are two basic versions. One good, one not so good...

Mind is not a Tuxing, but mind is working fine. I sure like those Tuxings if nothing more than the looks.

IMO, the auto shut off is useless. I have disconnected mine. In auto mode, it turns off at about 4200 psi and when it cools it will be under 4000. The instructions say to depressurize before shutting off but you can't do that if you don't precisely know when it is going to stop. I'd rather shut it down when I want it to, not when it wants to. I recommend getting either the hard-cover or the adjustable shutdown model.

For me the auto shut off is a desirable feature because I always stay away from the compressor for safety reasons.
I just noticed now that the instruction of my Yong Heng advices users to bleed the air prior to shutting the compressor down in order to avoid "damage done by the high back pressure" but I cannot figure out how the compressed air can go into the machine because there is a reed valve at the top of the 2nd stage cylinder to stop reverse flow of compressed air.
Is my understanding on the metallic plate ( reed valve ) at the top of the 2nd stage cylinder correct ? no ?

In China, they don't use the brand name Tuxing but Duge. It appears that there are Tuxing "clones" in the market. The following comparison is from the official on-line shop of Duge in China :
Genuine Tuxing ( Duge ) has bigger head, there are more tubes inside and they are made of stainless steel. Clones have less tubes and they are made of aluminium :
Genuine Tuxing ( Duge ) uses 2 ( lower end model ) to 4 ( higher end model ) 2nd-stage piston rings instead of just one :

are you guys using just plain water to cool? I use to race and we use some water cooling products like water wetter or engine ice keep racing karts and motocross bikes cooler

The version that has the intermediate cyclone separator between the first and second stages. One just has two steel tubes, the good one has three and an aluminum block between outlet of first stage and inlet of second stage.

The Yony Heng actually comes in four versions. The base model is the only one without the low-pressure separator. Then there is one with no auto shut off, It's called the Hard Cover version. Version three has the auto shut off and version four is the set pressure model. I would go for version two or four for the reasons in my post above.

Dam" to bad ya did,nt get the Tuxing with the big black head.They don,t seem to ever come up with the problems like the Hen's.If the hens goes to hell you can order a Tuxing head and piston assemble for $85 bucks that will eliminate all the plumbing and hoseing on the Hen. sure does look like a cleaner set up where do you get this from
