I've just finished piping in my compressor with galvanized pipe. Depending on the amount of pressure needed is important. Air pressure drops as it travels through pipe or hoses. A 20lb drop in 50ft if not unreal but close to the norm. I also recommend the filter/dryer is one size bigger than what you think you need. Another consideration is how hot our compressor runs. If its running more than 2/3 of the time its getting to hot and you need a bigger compressor. Also how big is your storage tank. ...... didn't mean to write a book but all these things have a bearing on your situation. I actually have TWO on mine. one close to the compressor as I have tried to keep the line short to my bead blaster and then another one in the shop, farther from the compressor, and closer to all my air tools. | | |
