[AT] Air Lines

[Larry D. Goss]

Just out of curiosity, how often do you drain the pressure tank on the
compressor?

It isn't over-kill if you do a lot of painting and/or sandblasting.  I
have
a 4 hp compressor (30 gallon tank) that I use for everyday things; and
then
I have a 7.5 hp compressor (80 gallon tank) that I use with the other
compressor when I sandblast.  The metal pipe helps cool and the air and
condense the moisture.  I have 5 drops in my line.  When I finish
sandblasting, especially in this weather, I probably drain about 1/2 to
3/4
gallon of water from the first two drops.  I use the furthest connector
from
the compressor when I paint and sandblast.  The air is pretty dry by the
time it gets there.  I have never drained water from the filter at that
point.

Just my thoughts.

That looks like a bunch of over-kill.  I can't believe they put all that
together with just one union.  I think somebody has a thing about
petcocks.
Of all that plumbing, probably the most important piece is the flexible
hose
right next to the compressor.  Farmer's solution even covers that
requirement.
