[TheForge] compressor setup

Mon Jan 14 19:30:01 2002

I have three compressors that are all fed into the same line.
I can run 1, 2 or all three. They are in a separate building from
my studio. In southern Louisiana you drain your compressor(s)
every day. These three compressors feed into one very good filter/
water seporator, then into a 1-1/2" plastic pipe (schedule 40 pvc)
underground for 50 feet to another storage tank just outside the
studio then the same 1-1/2" pvc inside the studio to 2 drops.
One by each air hammer. I have NO water at the drops. The pvc
has held up well for 5 or so years so far. An engineer friend told
me that I should have made the pipe do a loop inside the shop with
the drops coming off the loop.
