What defines a Tuxing compressor

[MaxKookage]

Looking into getting a compressor for light personal use and came across the tuxing model compressor. But, my internet searches have come up empty, as far as what a tuxing compressor is, exactly.

Can you guys try and clear this up for me?

Also, any links to the models you guys currently have, as I'm in the market to pick something up here soon.

Thanks,

Max

Just your basic high pressure low cost no frills (auto shutoff, or filtration / water traps). Most people add a water trap / filtration set to it such as this:

Filter assembly 

There is a short video on the first link.

Hey Willy, If it's just a matter of replacing the head?

Is the 1st and 2nd stage design different? if so, how is it different?

Do you use the auto shut off feature too? 

aren't you losing the ability to bleed off the moisture, by going directly out of the head?

Moisture trap. As I said it is a basic compressor. Moisture trap and filtration is up to the user to add for additional cost.

Max the the bleader vale is the bottom nut by the red cap or oil plug.The piston on the Heng 1 and 2 stag is almost the same as the Tuxing.You just dont have all the pipe's and vale's and one way reed vale's to contend to.?

Almost doesn't seem worth paying almost double, just to get rid of the external piping and some steel reed valves. I would think the external components would aid in keeping radiating the heat, since that seems to be the killer of these little beasts

The Tuxing head has internal porting, whereas the Yong Heng has external pipework - both work the same

Putting a Tuxing head on a Yong Heng is a good idea - Yong Heng seem to be more reliable than Tuxing compressors, but the Tuxing head is a neater design solution than Yong Heng's external pipework

Thanks Steve.

If it's a matter of looks, I'll go with what has readily available parts.
