Air Compressor Piping Layout Questions

[sniper]

I am no expert here by any means but here is my advice. Is this in a garage or a shop?

If you need that slope to get the air to a place in the garage where you want it then use it.
Otherwise, You can run a vertical right out of the tank with a 90 at the tank fitting then back down with stub and just a ball valve, before you start the 10' slope. That would help a good bit with water removing moisture.
But if you only have it to try and remove moisture, then you are better off having it go straight vertical for a couple of runs, up down up down then just have the air outlet closer to the tank.

Let gravity help pull moisture out of your air as much as possible.


I actually have 60 foot of pipe that runs up and down vertically before heading out to the shop loop. On the bottom of the 6 runs, there are 3 ball valves. A stub if you will, 1 in each set of verticals. Then it runs up into a seperator and an ingersol portable dessciant dryer. It has been this way for the last 4 years and a minut amount of moisture, if any, over that time has made it to an outlet.
