@jcdammeyer I have 3/8" soft copper tube leftover if that's that your compressor outlet is.
The OD of the copper pipe leaving the compressor and going to the tank is 1/2". I also have about 20' of that on a shelf waiting for a project.
Are you finding the fan blades on the driven pulley provide enough airflow through your air cooler or have you thought about adding an external fan?
Here's the head on my compressor.

Seems to work just fine and the fan shroud on mine is more restrictive than yours.
Looks like this PA unit although a few bucks more.
Yup, I'd say it's the same.
@YotaBota let me know if your compressor take 3/8" line
Thanks for the info David.
I am going to suggest it to my brother who has a Mobile Sand Blaster for resurfacing farm equipment and heavy machinery (on-site).
Yes, if it's 3/8 OD I have tubing to spare.

Thanks John!
Not that I've been able to detect. The ID of the cooler is larger than the ID of the 3/8 tubing that was in place from the head to the tank so other than the increased inlet length I haven't changed anything else.
My cooler has been shipped. Should be here next week. I'll put it on the pile of 42 parts.
Let me know if you want to pop over for a look at it.
@DavidR8 The photo on the Amazon.ca site shows the connectors for what I am guessing is flared soft copper tube? The Derale web site says the inlet and outlet are -8AN size which I believe is 1/2" copper.
You have some sort of black coupler first and then the brass one down to 3/8" which I'm guessing is a compression fitting? Did the cooler come with the shiny black coupler or did you have one or order one from somewhere?
