[Scott Trunkhill]

I have been looking into getting a compressor also. Can you pick me one up ;-)

Here is a site a found about piping.

>I'm in the middle of building a garage but I need my air compressor

>back when it's built later.  I'm worried about water build up in the 
>lines.  The garage will hopefully have numerous access points in the 
>working area.  The garage will be as close to the house as possible, 
>about 25-30' from the compressor.  I'll build a room attached to the 
>house around the compressor to keep it safe from being stolen 
>mainly.

>A) Would you run lines underground?  Is this a water/humidity issue 
>for cast iron?  This is SC so the humidity is quite high. 
>Constantly draining my lines/filter when it's running.

>B) Would you run PEX instead?  Copper?  (I know better than to ask

>C) Would a filter coming out of the tank be enough to keep the lines 
>clean for both access points?

>D) Any other suggestions re:filters, humidity, material choice?
