Perfect. Will do.

One more question. As far as the final tube that runs to the regulator- you have it coming off the top run- would it be better to have it come off that leg but at the bottom a few inches above the drain valve and then come out to the side and run a new line back up to the regulator? If that...

Allllright will do.

I wasn't trying to be accusatory. I was just saying you said to pull from the bottom then said the top was more efficient. That's a good thought about pulling off the top might go straight to the regulator. I'll prob put the inlet in the middle of the first leg with a T. Not at the top or the...

This is $2.85 a foot and the type m 1/2" is $1 a foot.

BAM! Conclusive evidence. Design officially finalized. Time to buy some copper. Too bad I'm goin out of town til Sunday. Where can I get 95-5 solder?

Michael, my bad. I swear I thought that was tool *****. My fault. I was replying from my phone... But what I said still stands about tool ***** flip flopping on the air placement. It's still not too late to do whatever will work best. I was thinking figured 1 would work best but now...

Yes he did... "Having all those tubes and dividing the air among them slows down the air so it cools more effectively. " That was in response to my question omit working better than figure 1. Also, you're now saying that the air entering at the botto Wouldn't be as efficient as it entering...

Nice. So that's what I'm doing then since it works better than figure 1 at the most important job it's there for. Thanks for all the help! I'll be sure and post pics whenever it's does. The regulator/filter is on it's way as we speak.

I'm not taking it that far. I'm keeping Jt on that wall.

Ok well I think I'm just going to have it entern at the top. Looks cleaner to me and less fittings as well. So you're saying that it would cool more effectively in that scenario than if it had to follow a specific path? That would be nice. I 'm just going to use a 1/2" ball valve for the...

Tool *****, like I said, unfortunately it's not feasable to do the horizontal runs. I like the idea of the drain being a few inches to be able to collect water. That makes sense. But when I'm thinking about the air hose being at the bottom, why wouldn't the water that's formed in that first...

I'm sticking with copper because it local, effective and I'm doing it myself in my garage, not a large shop. Ratdog, appreciate your pics. Looks great. I unfortunately can't do the horizontal runs- no room. So it's looking like vertical runs with multiple drain valves at the bottom...Oh...

Hmmmm that was my concern too. I would love it if it would work as good or better than the figure 1 setup. I'd like to figure it out ASAP as I need to go ahead and plumb this stuff up because I have someone waiting on some work that needs to be done.

Michael, yea that was my concern too. Ok, figure 2 is out. Now look at this picture I made based off what you said. I think this is what you were talking about. My only question is, are there any negatives for have them all connect and not have to go the full path of ups and downs like in...

Michael, The runs aren't 5', they're 16 inches. thus my concern about how much play they have. The 5' is vertical area and the 16" is the left and right width that the runs will be going back and forth on. And what do we think about the extra 40 90* bends ?

Also, wouldn't those 50 or so 90 degree turns in figure 2 hurt CFM? It would be cut down to 10 in figure 1 assuming 30 feet.

Michael, your thread is where I got that idea actually! So you think 30 ft of 1/2" would be enough? So you can just bend the copper a little and make the slight slope? I would love only having 1 drain. I would have 3 in the vertical system in figure 1 assuming 30 feet is long enough. With...

So I'm running the 1/2" copper air lines for my 60 gallon husky. I'm trying figure out how long the cooling run needs to be in feet and how to run it and position the drain/drains. Here are a couple pics of what I'm looking into. Here's a pic of the area I'm going to be using. The area...

Bump for those questions.
