There is some controversy with using copper pipes.... I resolved to the safe side and got some thread 1 inch ID steel pipes..... mind you we run our system at 150 pounds when driving with the 3/4 impact...puts out 920 FPT.

Make sure you have a good flex joint near your compressor tank or it will vibrate the whole shop....

Good Luck

Hi Bob
I put up to 135fpt and noting happend yet but your right for the flex joint you dont want vibration in the systeme and i was to cheap to go buy the ball valves i found 2 normal one in my father garage and that mabe wy i losing 40fpt in like 2 at 3 hours whent i test it but for the umidity i wonder if juste the water filter will be good for painting
