Replacing Commpressor air line.
The airline that goes from the tank to the tank to the pressure switch burst, its easy to disconnect the line from the tank but under the pressure switch there appears to be a shroud covering the other end, is there any way to undo it with out removing the pressure switch.
The Compressor is a SIP Eagle 2.5hp

It looks like it might be a "Push In" fitting, you could try pushing up on the brass ring and at the same time pulling down on the tube to release it.

Just take the pressure Switch off . Its a lot easier.
Disconnect the wiring on the PS first. Take cover off and take some pics with your phone before you disconnect anything. It's probably only 2 or 3 wires.
Don't manhandle the Pressure switch to get it off. Use a spanner. The manifolds are usually made of cheese.
Oh, unplug the compressor and vent the tank before you loosen the switch....lol

I patiently waited till I went down south, I asked Kryn where I could get some copper pipe, he said leave it with me, next time I saw him he had a length of plastic tubing, he said it was truck air brake pipe rated at 250 psi.
compressor back in action again.
