It is on my home computer behind a 10/1 megabit connection, it will probably hold up.

I made a garden hose to compressor adaptor, to blow out air from garden hoses, using a bridgeport mill to mill off a barb end from a fittings. Five videos are provided. Probably a lot of people will find them laughable, but I thought to post them here.

If anyone finds them amusing, I may upload them to Youtube also. I have a video of a Cummins L423D diesel there, and it had over 20k viewers.

Videos are in .AVI format, I think MPEG-3.

I just assembled the same type of adapter from three standard fittings for about $6. I'll be using it to blow out the water lines on my camper with nice dry air prior to pumping in RV antifreeze. Not sure why you'd need to blow out garden hoses since they drain pretty well when you coil them up anyway.

You know, the RV people have these to winterize RV plumbing.
