Scored On An Air Compressor!

Great score. Now spend some money on a short-flexible line, some galvanized pipe and fittings. I have 50 feet of galvanized 1" pipe running from a flexible connection from the compressor to the wall-mounted pipe which zig-zags slowly upwards to the ceiling 25 feet away It then has a section of pipe running straight down to the floor with a ball valve to drain any water that condenses in the pipe. I then run a short section of pipe located about midway in that down pipe pointing upward to a water/oil trap.

Air comes out of the compressor hot/warm and cools in the metal pipe. By the time the air gets to the water/oil separator, it is cool and as dry as a popcorn fart. In fact, I've never drained any water out of it. The down pipe at the beginning and sometimes even at the end of the hard lines always have water in them.
