[AT] Air compressors?

[Dean VP]

Ralph:

Here is the piping concept I used when plumbing my big compressor in the
shop. It has been very successful in our damp weather.  It is a pdf file so
it may take a while to load.

Thanks for the idea Richard. I will have to try and rig up something like
that on the outlet valve of my big compressor. This freezing air nozzle
problem is getting really annoying. Even had problems putting air into a
tire the other day. Maybe the humidity is higher here now than we are used
to.
