Air compressor system basics

I suppose what it boils down to is many ways to skin a cat. I have maybe 100 bucks in cost of the piping, elbows, valves and so on but was worth it to me and far less expensive then copper, not sure what you were looking at rapidair cause I couldn't get the link to open but looking on their site I see kits for 130 something, if it works well doesn't seem to bad.

Roy, that's what I have are drip legs running past where I connect. I am in the habit of walking by and just quick twist of the valve to dump any water, gotten to where I have actually flipped the valve the other day when I went to the garage to get a screw driver for the wife... wasn't even on lol.
