Air Compressor Lines: Garage Water Separator Manifold / Air Dryer

Installing air compressor lines / Shop / Garage Air System in the House of Chop, including a gravity based air drying manifold / after cooler. This is one of the most simple and effective ways to get clean, dry air throughout your shop. I take you through the process of building a 3/4” copper system and explain how it works.
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?

[@HouseofChop]

That’s super available. It’s the flex line used to connect a water heater to the hard line. You can find it at nearly any hardware store.

[@chikafreak]

Thank you! I was looking at those! Just FYI most say rated for 125 PSI but there are some up to 200 PSI. I'll have to see if I can find a 200 for my applocation as a compressor whip. Thanks!

[@pattojumpship]

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.

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. That’s a great tip with the solder I’m without a doubt keeping that in mind for the next time I light up the torch. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@christopherbrown6697]

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.

[@brent822]

I even had good success with poly pipe. It was from necessity rather than choice. I had poly pipe and couldn't afford copper, and I had to get a job done. Been using it for a year now. All good.

[@4444johnnyboy4444]

A simple engineering fact I just learned to have saved you from building that massive setup is to add a pump aftercooler between the air compressor pump outlet and the air tank check valve. The reduction of temperature to the supply air to the tank will keep condensation out of your air tank, especially in cold winter months where the temperature difference is massive. You just need a cooler, some fittings to adapt the line size from the cooler, and some soft bendable copper HVAC tubing to merge the compressor pump air supply through the cooler and to the factory check valve into the compressor. Then you can have your whole system water free from the very start! (Add dryers for complete water-free OCD lines, but be prepared to see them remain dry forever) 😁

[@HouseofChop]

I like it! No doubt that’s a better setup. Looks like you have a video of your own to make.

@@HouseofChop I will, i have a couple projects coming up.

[@ManCrafting]

Great job Chop. I would have loved to do this out of copper but I couldn’t talk myself into the expense. I have everything to do it in PVC. When I have time, that’s my next big project. I may be making a mistake and end up doing it twice which goes against my “Buy once cry once” mantra. You definitely did it right.

[@HouseofChop]

The copper is not cheap I'll give you that. There is some conversation surrounding PVC and if it's safe for air or not. I'm inclined to think it would be just fine but you may want to do some quick searches and see how you feel about it. If I had to do a long system I believe I would have done the manifold section in copper then ran the rest in PEX.

[@ManCrafting]

House of Chop I did. I know that air pressure breaking the pipe is the concern. Especially if it’s struck by something. I ran the pipe overhead so it’s lower risk. Also the pipe is rated for 480 psi, I’m only putting 100psi max. Also it’s indoors. Low exposure to UV which can cause damage. Also, if it breaks, the only cleanup is broken plastic. Air doesn’t make much of a mess.

[@HouseofChop]

I believe most this internet wisdom around the use of PVC is nonsense. I’m sure your system will serve you for many years without concern.

[@mannyfilmsinc]

@@ManCrafting What kind of pipe are you using>? CPVC pipe? thanks

[@ManCrafting]

Manny Yabar I just used schedule 40 PVC rated at 480 psi.

[@duanethieme4186]

Thanks for sharing, I have a similar setup it stops water but not moisture, so I added a very inexpensive AquaChek filter after it.

[@HouseofChop]

Excellent point. This system still will need a filter of some kind to take out that very last bit that's why I have the one micron set up at the end of mine. Really did the trick 🔥👍🏼🔥

That’s Awesome! Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@karljay7473]

So many people are putting the cooling lines after the tank instead of before the tank and they use bare copper pipes instead of a transmission cooler, they put the lines against a wall and have no fan. I cut the tube from the pump, added a transmission cooler with an electric fan that blows on the cooler and the pump all the time and two water filters before it gets to the first tank. I then swapped the drive pulley for one 33% larger. I really like the system you built, I'm sure the compressor can keep up, but mine was a bit smaller compressor so I bumped it from 3HP to 5HP and then over drove the pump and added more cooling and extra tanks.

[@HouseofChop]

Putting the lines before the tank is 110% the better way to go. With the space I had here this is the best I could do. Your system sounds pretty badass but don’t count this one out. It’s a strong option and a passive setup that takes up very little space it also added quite a bit of capacity to the system. I’d be interested to see a video of your setup and how you pulled it together. Sounds awesome. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@sloppydoggy9257]

Would be super cool if you could put fins on the copper tubes in the heat exchange region.

Looks good two tips if you're going to make more air lines it's agents code to solder air lines they need to be brazed. Also it has j high chance for a leak to solder an open fitting meaning both ends of the fitting should be fluxed and soldered at the same time. The blue weighting is to signify it's type l copper and doesn't affect solder or brazing

[@HouseofChop]

nice practical job. after reading the comments, of course I have some to share. Don't use PVC. It won't cool the air like the copper will. I see you are in Pa. a cooler climate. If the wall is cement block and stays cooler than the ambient air, securely mounting the pipe to the wall will act as a heat sink. Otherwise use unistrut for a air gap.

Please don't use PVC for air lines, they will explode!

[@HEADBANGRR]

Cool setup. One thing I would have done different is put the air compressor outside instead of inside where you have it. Due to THE FACT that air compressors are a very potential bomb and DO blow up occasionally. Great video thank you

Great video! Thank you.

I need one of these for my everlast plasma cutter.

[@HouseofChop]

Todd Paulsen It will make all the difference in a big way. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@pyroman590]

I built one very similar for my plasma cutter a few years ago. It's one of the best investments I've made.

I really enjoyed your video. Also liked the music you paired with it. I was hoping to find links to the music. How do you like your system now 4 years later?

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. Really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment. The system is great hasn’t let me down even painting and blasting in the humid season. Can’t really help you with the music. It is just royalty free stock.

@@HouseofChop hi I just have a question ? what kind of cooper pipe used regular tube for water or Gas ?

[@HouseofChop]

@@josemanueljimenezpadilla3136 Absolutely. 3/4” pipe made for water right off the shelf at the local hardware store will do it.

[@josemanueljimenezpadilla3136]

@@HouseofChop good because the copper pipe for gas costs twice as the pipe for water here in Tijuana Baja California . thank you very much !!!

Cool the air before it enters tank,,, I used 1/2 inch coiled copper and my water separator before the tank and solved water issue,,, dropped my air temperature from the pump to tank by 100 degrees,, I have down drops on all my outlets but not that crazy setup

[@HouseofChop]

George Spangler That’s the ideal way to do it for sure. In my application it wasn’t going to work but anyone that could situate the cooler before the tank would benefit enormously. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@edcallahan2976]

spectacular, what welding table is that with the extension?

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. The table is called the Rhino Cart. Strong Hand Tools makes it. I did a video on it here for some more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKW6gIRpf8mjqc0feature=shared

[@KuehlEngineering]

Nice soldering! I haven't dealt much with solder, but I know it can be tricky to get just the right amount! What is the purpose of spraying the paint can upside down and then setting on the table upside down? An old trick of some sort? I apologize if you have already answered this in the comments. Awesome video. I dig the enthusiasm in all of your videos!

[@HouseofChop]

Kuehl Enterprises Thank you. Appreciate your kind words and taking a few minutes to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥 I always set the can upside down between coats just to keep the paint mixing in the can. When I pick it up and give it a shake for the next coat it will upset the way it was settled in the can. Just a method I got to after realizing the paint coats much better with a super thorough mix. As for spraying it upside down it clears the nozzle so it won’t clog between coats. Just give it a spray inverted till the paint stops and you get a puff of propellant. 😉

@house of chop, the lil black and white segment was absolutely Hilarious. Loved it! Loving the Crummy Welding Shirt as well. So, tell me how are you liking the Eastwood Compressor so far???

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. Seriously appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥 I’ve had that compressor for about 2.5 years now and it’s been great. Plenty of air even when I’m running the blast cabinet and it’s quiet. They have since upgraded it a bit and it’s a little bit more powerful. If space is a consideration or if you must have in in your work area like I do I’d say it’s worth serious consideration.

[@phillipchambers8487]

@@HouseofChop Thanks for the quick reply. I'm wanting one for my basement workshop, so space is a consideration, as well as noise. Yours seemed to be Super Quiet. Believe this is the one!

[@HouseofChop]

Phillip Chambers Awesome. Yes in a basement this would be a great choice. Good luck with it and let me know how it works out. I’ve been very curious about the newer “Elite” version.

[@phillipchambers8487]

@@HouseofChop definitely will do. Thanks again for your help!

[@design8studio]

Great job! Pretty serious about doing same here. Genuinely sincere question: why the diamond shapes at the top instead of just flat across like others have done?

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you! It works great. I’ve blasted, painted a truck, did product runs with the plasma table and the system hasn’t let me down yet. The 45s at the top were just a aesthetic choice. Some have argued that it might flow better. I really doubt with all the 90s in the system that’s the case.

[@mrteausaable]

Good soldering job. Any leak for first timer? You could run all the bottom of each 3 exchausts out by combine to one out with one valve on the bottom of the pipes.. Will it works too?

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you! No leaks now for over 2 years. You could run the pipes anyway you’d like so long as the air is forced to travel the full distance… no shortcuts for the air. 😉🙌🏼

[@mrteausaable]

@@HouseofChop Just said it would be easier if you would combine the exchaust vent to just one place and one release valve instead of three.

[@bthekid82]

Great info looks good starting my air setup looking for ideas

[@HouseofChop]

Thank you. This one is old school and quite effective. I blast and push paint with it without issue.

[@clockguy2]

So it blows dirty oily compressor water down your sheet rock? I would have mounted it to a 2 x 4 offset from the wall or angled the drain valves away from the wall. I like the angled top sections of your system.

[@HouseofChop]

clockguy2 Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave feedback. Indeed it’s less than ideal. Unfortunately I needed it tight to the wall. There are always trade offs. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@brentbrimacomb9725]
