Thread: Shop is now plumbed

Stu..........putting the compressor in a seperate area is good. Not knowing where you live, be aware that below freezing temps can create problems with the water freezing in the compressor.

Good point! I have a water separator next to my compressor and had forgotten to drain it. You can guess what happened when the temps went down!

Good point, we live in Northern California. We seldom get a hard freeze, but I will be sure to drain the compressor if one is forecast. The regulator/filter and water separator are inside the shop. I have plumbed drains at the bottom of each drop and have a good slant to all the horizontal pipes so they will drain.
