I watched a video a while back with a probuilder that was talking about installing a air system with driers for home use, he recommended having the dryer 40 feet(of line) from the compressor. The reason he said was because the compressor heats up the air and you want that much for the temp to drop and condensation to collect. dont know if it is a selling gimmick, but it might be something to consider.

dryers for industrial use use a chiller unit, like a fridge, to cool the air, which drops out the moisture like condensation quicker. maybe that is why the distance from the head unit, so the air has more chance of cooling anyway before it gets there. hmm, I do have that old fridge in the wife's garage she uses for salad fixings and stuff.....not crazy about salad anyway...could drill a few holes....run a few lines....oh wait, THERE'S BEER IN THERE!...not gonna happen.

Agree. In my case, it is at least 40 feet. So, if any moisture makes it through my mega long hose, I hope drops into my drip leg or gets picked off by the next two filters. Stay tuned.
