Like I said the compressor shuts off at 80 psi. I realize that this may be a jury rigged way of fixing it...comments welcome. Franco in PA

I wouldnt do it, I dont think braze would be strong enough. Whatever you do make sure you incorporate a pressure relief(one of those spring loaded valves with the little pull ring) in case the 80 psi shut off doesnt shut off!
