[AT] Air compressors?

[Richard Fink Sr]

Ralph how i solved that problem was to put drops at all line hook ups. I 
took all the plug ins apart at the elbow where they turned for hose hook up 
and added a tee and about 12 inches of 3/4 pipe with a shut off at the end 
to make drain offs.
Then i put a separator and regulator drain
on the line i wanted to use for painting. It works for me.
