NOTE ABOUT RUNNING COMPRESSORS IN A BOX. Whenever you operate air compressors inside a confined space be sure that there is adequate ventilation or air flow through the box. Heat from the compressor can acumulate inside the box and over time shorten motor life and damage vulnerable parts such as o rings coated wires, and plastic parts. I prefer to have the bottom of the "box" with some screened openings and screened openings near the roof line. This allows air flow from bottom to top and vents warm air out the upper vents. Tight confined boxes need an electric fan when the pump is on to exhaust hot air.
