Run down hill slope on the main line, then at the end run a drop off the bottom, put a gate valve on the bottom and drain any condensation in the lines daily. A filter/regulator just after the compressor is enough for what you are doing. Caution on lubricators, as you may want a line without for spraying, oil in all of your compressed air isn¡¯t always what you want. Brian Lambblamb11@... On Jan 22, 2017, at 1:08 PM, apbt1976@...

I have spent a good amount of time online reading and watching videos on proper plumbing for compresed air. I have become tired of moving my contractors compressor all over my shop. I suppose i could just run a flex air line along the floor but im kthe ndamneat freak and that would just never fly for me. I'm a clean up after every operation kinda guy. It keeps my brain organized. Anyway i was considering the soft air lines with the quick fits. I have resigned to going 3/4 copper with 1/2 drops. I'm will only use air for my air clamps and a brad and pin nailer. Being a neat freak i stick to my Festool sanders.? I will put a on off ball valve and flex hose to my compressor. My run is only 20' long with three drops. The question is do i need a filter and lubricator at every drop or can i just put one at the begining of my run near my actual compressor. I will not be upgrading my compressor anytime soon as it is very low on my list of "must have" priorities. When i do i am apt to go for the 10 gallon ultra quiet California air unit for my needs. The tool addict in me wants a two stage compressor but for my needs i don't want to give up the space or listen to the darn thing.? So drops do i need a filter at each one? Any other insight is welcomed. ?? -- Dave & Marie Davies www.myfinishingtouch.biz 318-219-7868 #yiv3404110590 #yiv3404110590 -- #yiv3404110590ygrp-mkp { border:1px solid
