Air Compressor Setup

[m1helmethead]

Hey guys,

Awhile back I bought a Ingersoll Rand TS7N7.5 air compressor and I'm getting ready to pipe it with 3/4 inch pipe. I will be using this to paint, sand blast, and use regular air tools. Any information on what I need to get and how to set it up would be great.

Thanks,
J

This has been discussed too many times to count. Use drops on your your outlets, always take air from the side not the bottom of a drop. Search on here and you will find all sorts of pics and info.

I guess I should be alittle more specific does anyone have any recommendations for regulators and such? If I'm painting and sand blasting do I need a air dryer or can I use some other filter?

All depends, if plumbed correctly with metal piping, (black iron or copper) this will help considerably with cooling the air. If some sort of plastic garbage piping is used, you will constantly be fighting moisture issues and will need some other means to help combat the problem.

This PDF is fairly large to download (23.6 mb), Its the complete Wilkerson catalog, but the first 30 or so pages discusses compressed air and air systems, with a number of good illustrations. Worth looking at for a better understanding of air systems.

I plan to use copper Type L.
