Getting ready go plumb my setup.. Pretty sure I have a good idea of what I expect to do. Mostly replicating the TPTOOLS setup in copper piping to fit my shop layout..

However, looking at others setups can often show me something I didn't think of, etc..

Anyone want to share?

Mines PVC, so I won't share. Or should I not even admit that? Can I be banned for using PVC? I promise I put it up before I joined the GJ and became enlightened. :)

Lol.. ;)

While I don't have issues with PVC, I'm not personally going to use it. :)

Here's mine. Compressor located on the second floor back wall. There's a 20' foot sloping run that takes it to the middle of the barn (near the vacuum). The line dropping to the floor at the extreme right of the second picture feeds a ceiling mounted house reel on the first floor.

I don't have any. I'm no plumber. I hate plumbing. I refuse to do plumbing because there are only two kinds of plumbing. CLOG and LEAK!!!

I put my compressor and blast cabinet in a separate room at the rear of the shop. Plumbing the blast cabinet was a challenge, because I wanted 25' or more pipe between the compressor and the blast cabinet. It took lots of cutting and threading, but I get no moisture at the blast cabinet.




This is where it goes into the shop. The lines are capped off now, waiting on funds for more pipe. The main lines are 3/4" and the drops are 1/2"

One of the drops, this is where I plug in the blast cabinet.



The compressor and where it connects to the system, missing the house to the system and the Tee'd line for the garage shed.



If you want to see more pics of my plumbing, they are in my refurb thread.
