[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2540777, member: 116439"] Hello everyone Thanks much for everyone's advice. I mentioned in previous posts that will be using Quincy 5HP Four Cylinder Two Stage compressor and 60-gallon tank. There is an air filter on incoming air to the compressor. Between the Compressor and Tank, I have an "AfterCooler with an Air Filter and Water Separator & drain. This will help with moister removal after the compressor and before entering the Tank. The Tank will have a moister drain. We may or may not put an electronic drain on the tank depending on the amount of moister. The air going into the tank from the compresser will be from our basement shop, which is climate controlled between 45-50% or less Humidity. After the Tank I have 50' of "L" Copper pipe in an up & down configuration - Seven 6' sections with moisture drain valves at the bottom of each section. This will help with condensation in the air after the Tank and before the Refrigerated Dryer. The 4th step is a Refrigerated Dryer and water drain. This Refrigerated Dryer should have all the remaining moister out. Then the air will be delivered through Cooper "L" pipe(1/2" & 3/4") to several stations that will have Air Filters and Water Separators (desiccant) before the air goes into Quick Disconnect banks with coiled air hoses along with a Hose Reel system to have access to air outside the house. I plan on Silver Soldering/Brazing all Copper Connections that are not threaded. The Creakote/Painting System along with an inside and outside Media Blasting station will have "Clean DRY Air". So we have "Five" redundant moisture removal cleaning sections before the air gets to any operation. Another plus is the piping will also give extra air storage along with the 60 gallon tank, not that we will need it for mostly Cerakoting/Painting, but will help with the Media Blasting Cabinet or outside Blasting unit. Thanks again for everyone's input. A lot of helpful ideas!!! God Bless Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
