Air Compressor Set-up suggestions needed

One thing: Many of these modern cheapoized compressor setups use a multi-port mess for an air manifold, and some are combined with or very close to the compressor pump output.

If at all possible, select a plug elsewhere on the tank, if it's vertical, they normally have at least one down in the middle. Remove and replace it with the appropriate bushing, or drill and tap for whatever fitting you want to put in.

This will allow the air to dispurse, cool, and drop some of the moisture to the bottom of the tank before entering the hose
