Would definitely get this from Costco over Amazon just for the local pickup (vs. 50/50 chance of wrecked shipping from Amazon) and the return policy.
Not how you think, no. Could you do it? Yes! Would it take you all day (if you have 12 zones like I do)? Yes.

Blowing out sprinklers is more about sustained volume rather that PSI. 8 gallons is decent, but without taking the time (sorry!) to look up the specs on this unit specifically, I doubt it would have the sustained capicity. Second thing to consider is the duty cycle (how long it should rest between tank charges). If this is a home-owner model, that duty cycle is not really sufficient to use the compressor continuously w/o burning it out.

That all said, I have a similar compressor and for about $90 at HF, I built out an 11-gallon in-line expansion tank. It's not perfect, but it allows me to put more volume down each line per charge. $90 is about the same it would cost me to have someone come blow them out once.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if this would be the minimum spec required to blow out a home sprinkler system?

The big question is, would it be available at your warehouse? If it is, it's probably at least $10 cheaper than online.

Anyone know how long these are meant to last? I have a smaller version of this that I bought about 15 years ago, and I've been meaning to research if the tanks become unsafe after a certain time, like the paintball tanks.

I've been watching for air compressors for awhile in these smaller portable sizes. I've had my eye on https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGI.../300779816 which isn't on sale right now but it's got double the CFM and still quiet, so not sure if I should pull the trigger on this one or not.

Mainly would use it for nail gun etc but also would like to use it to blow stuff off which I understand the larger gallon capacity would help with but seems the Rigid would have more CFM for that.

I have a 2 gallon compressor that I used when I finished my basement to run two framing nailers. This one is more than adequate also blowing stuff off shouldn't take a huge compressor. You could use canned air to do that task and it's not nearly as powerful as a compressor.

Generally, steel tanks are good for 10+ years. Just make sure to drain after use.

Drain after each use. This should last long. Only complains I have heard the tank leaking. So test it thoroughly in the return period.

Good deal. I thoroughly looked at it earlier this year but this did not make a cut for my CFM requirements.

Make a pony bottle out of a propane tank and you now have portable air tank and added reserve for the included compressor tank.

Not a good idea. who is going to drain the propane tank after each use? Recipe for a disaster in a few years when the propane tank explodes due to internal rust.,

I use a 6 gallon Ridgid compressor for my 6-zone sprinkler system and while it takes some time, it gets the job done. A 20 gallon (or even a 10 gallon) tank is much better, though. I've borrowed a larger one from a friend occasionally and the difference is significant.

It's $139.99 at my local Costco (Issaquah, WA) last Sunday. Plenty in stock.
