Is there a right-angle fitting available so the hose can attach parallel to tank? Perpendicular doesn't work well when against wall in tight space.

A 90 degree "Street elbow" can be used. These have male pipe threads on one end and female pipe thread on the other. They can be had in brass or steel from a decent pipe fitting supplier.

The compressor is so small and light that you might want to take it to a harware or Home Depot store, take it inside with you and put it on a buggy and have a salesperson help you find the correct fitting.

Not that I have seen! The unit is small but does a super job. The connection is somewhat under the side of tank.

I had this hose in a straight line. I think it would have kinked if I tried to turn circles with it. I also have a round soaker hose which I am able to circle around plants. I like it a bit better.

Mine is wall-mounted but I can't see any reason you couldn't hook it to the side of the tank. In fact, it could be easy to arrange and less obvious to the casual observer.

The tank protrudes out 14" from the wall. The tank plus the mounting adds up to the 14"s. In addition the hose connection is on the front of the tank which adds another 6 "s when connected

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

Hi, Thank you for your question! The only way to do this would be to remove the intake screen to reach the actual hose intake. If you have any other questions please let us know! Thank you, Mackensie Customer Service The Pond & Garden Wholesalers

1) why not loosen the hose that takes the fuel from the tank to the engine and stick the hose end into a small bucket. In a short time the tank will be empty.2) The long rigid tube is PVC plastic. If you need to change the angle or otherwise put a kink in it, then just cut it and use whatever PVC plumbing fittings needed to implement the change. Likewise, any home supply store or hardware store or Amazon will have vinyl tubing in various sizes. Use a piece of the tubing to splice the tubes back together where you cut them.

Hello Jo. Thanks for asking. You can place it at a height equivalent to the length of the tank draining tube. That's why they've given you the draining tube at a certain length, I suppose!But saying all that, my advice to you is to return it if you're in US, as you'll get your money back. It's a piece of junk!!!!

Depending on your hook up for your water lines you could have it right up against it as long as you can tighten the connections. I didn't measure specifically but I had maybe four or five inches between the center and my stud on the sides, I hooked it up with PEX lines tho so I could slide it back and forth to have the room to crimp the lines onto the adapters. I'm not a plumber so I can't speak for any code requirements or issues that might crop up.

This hose curls up a lot, so you would need something to keep it straight. I would suggest buying a corrugated metal flexible tube that's long enough with a slight wider diameter (the Atlantis A4110 Deluxe is 1 inch in diameter) so you can feed the hose through the tube. Make sure the tube is long enough and has a diameter that can fit your gas tank. Might need to temporarily tape the hose to a wire or rope to pull it through the metal tube and then remove the tape and wire/rope. Then try putting the tube down in the gas tank so you can siphon or fill the tank.

Hi Jim, I made my hoses going to and from the DD long enough so that I could snap the suction unit with out a problem. Yhat is the only solution I have to you query. Good Luck.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. Gravity will carry the waste to the pump which actually pushes the waste out the discharge hose. Probably want to use a short between the tank and the pump.

As others have stated, a straight end will fit, but angled connectors will not. I would say try it carefully. If it fits perfect, but if you have to force it....stop and make sure you have everything in place correctly

My mr heater hose does the same thing. It is very hard to get the hose to go out straight.

I would suggest that right away you go out and buy a decent hose with a good clamp to attach it. Also, the hose is too short. Other than that, the unit is nice.

I actually purchased the angled valve in error. I had to order the standard valve instead. Hope this helps.Marc

first attach pipe to the tank side before you do any other fitting-- this is key to sucess
