The old shop compressor finally gave up the ghost today. It was a long time coming. This one should last far longer than I will.

Manifold for the compressed air system. Air enters from compressor on bottom left. Exits upper right and one quick disconnect lower right. 5 air cocks for drains. PEX will be run from upper two around the shop with individual water separators.
I, um, my mouth is so dry. Stan that is...heavy duty brother. I’ve seen some black pipe set up to manage moisture but this is epic. And moisture separators at each outlet. The Quincy will perform and your layout will keep your tools running clean and happy. Very nice.

Thanks much, I went copper because it is a little bit cheaper and far easier to size than black pipe. Still needs to be pressure checked before mounting on the wall. Hopefully I'll have it up and running this coming week. No more messing with air issues again and multiple outlets is the ultimate goal. I bought 4 high end hose reels at auction a while back, will be nice to have a couple of them mounted on the ceiling soon. Costly addition to the shop for sure but ultimately worth the investment.

Pressurized the manifold and soapy water tested all the joints, no leaks. Let it sit for three hours and it held pressure. 52 solder joints! I've not sweat a joint in 15-20 years. Blind squirrel. All mounted, PEX is next.
Buddy dropped off an old hammer with one requirement. Don’t take the handle off.
Weld, grind, file, etch to look similar to the old tool marks, and polish.

This thing works GREAT! Amazing, the amount of water it removes. The media blast cabinet was running almost all day and is working far better. The temp difference between the far left (inlet) tube and the far right had to be 30 degrees. The drain cock on the inlet tube had the most water in it and they progressively had less water as you go across to the right. Wish I did this years ago.

Quite a bit of water, did not measure amount. Probably a few ounces total. I used a small funnel on the one over the outlet. Missed the outlet location when laying it all out. Inconvenient but not a huge issue.

No more stacked water separators at the spray gun will make life far easier indeed. There is a water/oil separator at the compressor mainly for the pressure regulator, then the manifold on the wall, over to a large canister separator by the blast cabinet, back up to the ceiling and to two hose reals and a separate line to the front of the shop by the "paint booth" where there is a second pressure regulator/water/oil filter.
So by the time the air reaches the paint gun it goes through the manifold and three separators and another small separator at the gun itself. That should do it.
