Thank you for coming up with the articles.
In regards the air hose, wouldn't that be like backwards? Since I am running 1.25" PVC, woulding I want something bigger coming from the compressor? I know I can get 3/4" hose, but still seems to work against the cause... Yeah, I know, I probably won't see a difference since there will never be more than 2 people using air tools at a time... |

I had a reply but the bbs took a dump. Here goes again. A quick draw up of something you may want to ponder. Note the drops also have a dogleg step up, water flows downhill and will head down to your drops. the drop continues about 8 inches or so below your service stub with a ball valve - water trap. You can also get AFR's that will drain automatically when full, with one of those you can mount it up high and forget about it (except when it drains the water on your head).
The hose idea, was just an idea. You will get a restriction anyways coming out of your compressor, it would be a 1/4 or 3/8 output anyway. And also you will have to neck down to get into your AFR's and whatever tool that is using air. Also note that you will be setting your final pressure at your AFR. Full blast at the compressor, scale down at your AFR - make sense? Attached image(s)

Image is too small to read, at least I used a red pen instead of a crayon..
Each drop has a ball valve for draining water. Drain leg at the end of your run. the first drop goes to an air/water separator/regulator, horizontally shoots out to T connectors with quick connects, 2nd drop for air/oilers (if you are going to use something like that). |

Thanks a bunch. My compressor is only running 125 PSI anyways, sucks.
I'm not sure what kinda restriction I will get off the compressor, I have like an 1.5" hole in the side that goes down to a .25" now, so I am going to see if I can get a 1.25" flex line (steel braided) to go from the compressor to the tubing. |
