Air Compressor Lines: Garage Water Separator Manifold / Air Dryer

Published 2019-05-16
It’s important to keep the lines of your air compressor dry, you don’t want moisture ripping up your equipment and causing rust inside your tools. It’s especially important for plasma, sand blast setups, and any paint or powder work.

Where did you happen to get the 3/4 inch braided line that goes to the Eastwood filter?
-
Nice build man, I've been running mine like that for 6 years, works a dream. A tip an old boy plumber taught me on solder, you'll only need the same amount of solder as the width of the pipe. So half inch pipe = half inch of solder etc. That way you don't get any mass build up of solder inside the pipe creating obstructions to slow the air flow or causing turbulence that lead to vibrations.
-
Absolutely fantastic. I love seeing someone invest in dry air properly, rather than all these massive expensive setups out there with a filter sitting no more than a foot of hose from the AC.
-
I laugh and learn something every time I watch one of your videos. A person can't ask for much more than that. Thank you sir.
-
Great video. I just completed my own water separator radiator. Your video was one of the better ones on the topic. Certainly the most entertaining. Thanks
-
Beautiful work! Potential simplifications for me and others looking to create a similar setup: -rather than make the top loop from 5 pieces: 2 45 degree elbows, 2 short segments, and 1 90 degree elbow, you could make it from 3 pieces: 2 45 degree street elbows that will fit directly into the 90 degree elbow. At the bottom, same strategy, replacing the 90 degree elbow with a T fitting, at which point you can either have the ball valve and drains continue at a 45 degree angle or fit another 45 degree street elbow to make the drains parallel to the runs.

Just wanted you to know that I used your video and built my own manifold very similar you yours. I looked at a ton of video's and found yours to be a lot easier to follow than the others. I was happy to see that it didn't blow into pieces when I charged it with air! lol.. Thanks for the video!
-
If I wasn't in a good mood before, I am after watching your video. The most uplifting video about running air lines I've ever seen! HAH. Thanks! Great Vid!
-
Listen intently to the professor! He is revered as one of the intellectual and industrial giants of our age! This even might make your head blow off!
-
That’s indeed a glorious fashion! Love it. Particularly I love the soldered joints. As an electronic hobbyist a nice solder joint makes me feel good.
-
Great job man! Going to be doing this soon myself. Bro, I had no clue Murr could plumb like that?!! 🤣🤣 Kidding man, keep these good videos rocking🤘🤘
-
Professor Chop has done it again! Lots to learn from this video, just splendid!🙌
-
Great solution for air maintenance with that manifold!! Awesome job!
-
Oh man I love your smile and your disposition. Positive energy.....you got it brother. You get the gift of creation and the sky is the limit.
-
Love your attitude on these videos. The " Sounds of Silence, someone call Simon and Garfunkel" was absolute hilarious.
-
Awesome video and very nice setup! Just bought a hose reel for my compressor as well, thinking about running some copper to other parts of my garage and this definitely made me more confident in doing it myself. Thank you for sharing!
-
That's awesome! I'm doing similar things this weekend, but with pex.... Because, well, I'm not quite as classy as the Chopster! Great video as always Phil!
-
The airlines looks awesome. I will be incorporating parts of the design into some upcoming shop improvements.
-
Beautiful Work Professor Chop. Awesome design, setup, and execution.

Man I really liked your videos. Hope you start making them again
