The compressor is bolted to a concrete floor, no rubber pads used. I have used rubber pads (55-56 small block Chevy motor mounts) to control the noise. Sometimes that works, sometimes not. Grainger also has square pads for noise control. Any feed back as to which is better, motor mounts jor the squasre pads. If the motor mounts do not control the noise, can we move the compressor? If so, how far away? Is there a max distance? They are looking at 60 feet away, using 3/4" or 1" pipe. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org<mailto:Sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org> http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
