OK, I've got my air compressor ready to go, I think. On the outlet from the tank, I;ve got the dryer/filter, then the 120 psi regulator.

I'm thinking I need another regulator on the outboard side of the one I have on there now, to control the flow to the hose.

Anyone have a pic of their setup?

Wanted to show you how the airlines are sloping down without any flat spots to hold water, then how you take off the top pipe to eliminate any water also

http://www.1969supersport.com/grg110.jpg I use three filters plus another one in the paint room.

Thats all you get until I see some pictures.:)

Sooooooo, I think I have it. The first picture in the link, you can see the outlet with the valve, I took the valve off, and then screwed on the dryer, then the adjustable regulator, I guess it will work, I guess?

Why two regulators?

Go to the farthest end of your metal pipe, plug in an air hose, then plug in a pressure gauge and your most air-hungry air tool (so the pressure gauge is as close as possible to the inlet of the tool.

Run the tool, adjust the regulator for 90 psi WITH THE TOOL RUNNING.

Your regulator may then be set for 120--140 psi, but if the air tool is only getting 90 psi because of restrictions in the plumbing--you're set, and the air tools are running at full power.

I've always kept my compressor outside so I can hear myself think while working. Of course I don't have to deal with too many freezing temperatures.

Rob has the paste' de resistance of airline set ups. Another method to keep water out of air supplies is to run the pipe into a cooler filled with ice because air < 53 degrees can't carry moisture.

Yet another way is desicant canisters, which is what I use for painting only, like this one: http://www.drierite.com/default.cfm?gclid=CNCfuI-BuZQCFQqdnAod_kR6Sw

My pancake has two guages, but I guess that doesn't mean two regulators. I just tested it, I can set the outlet pressure with the one regulator.

Seems to work, I guess I was all grouchy for nothing :)
