Thread: Decent Priced, Good Quality, Air Filter, Drier, Regulator ?

Ok, anytime air is compressed it heats up, when decompressed it cools down and draws moisture as do most liquids, so the idea is to make the decompression cool down before it hits your gun and condensates, if you use a leg of iron pipe before your water seperator and air hose it should help, on another site a guy buries a good length of coiled copper pipe and lets the ground cool the air making it condesate before going to the water seperater. I often thought of coiled copper in a old bar refrig before the seperator making a cheapo dryer system, Being a el cheapo I use a ton of flex hose out of my compressor then to about 15 foot of iron pipe running uphill with a drip leg, back down with a drip leg and then to my seperator, then on to my final hose with gun it works for me, just get the air cool to condensate before that gun, seems to work but I do use a last chance filter on my guns too.

About like mine. Can you post some pics ?

My thought now about iron pipe is water rust, vs cooper, pvc and rubbler air line hose that won't.
Do you agree ?

The rubber type is nice, easy to cut for lengths, lot's of fittings to chose from etc, and although it's expensive, but I won't need much for a single garage.
