Another simple step. First, use some purple primer on any surface that you're going to glue. This cleans it up and readies it to be glued.

Once the primer has dried, glue one 2-1 1/4" into one 3-2" reducer. Then do the same to the other reducers. Glue one reducer assembly to the 4 foot barrel, and the other to the 1.5 foot air tank. Finally, glue the end cap to the other end of the air tank.

Watch out for the PVC glue. It stinks to high hell and can really mess you up. And don't smoke while gluing either.

If you are going to use PVC primer you might as well use PVC cement and not glue here.  You can get the purple primer and PVC cement in a nice package at Home Depot.
