[TheForge] Compressor Moisture Vent Valve

[GHS]

Same here, before I moved my shop the compressor was two city lots away.
That is why the drain valve is next to the light switch. Right now I have
two drains in place and soon will have two more so that there is one on each
location that I might be using air tools.

I probably will also add a reservoir beneath the tank and then blow off the
reservoir just to keep the tank dry between purges.( I am thinking a six
inch long by two inch nipple ought to do it)
