Re: 60 gal compressor garage piping size.

I've moved since this picture, but here's my "basic two-car garage guy" setup in my last house.

In my new garage, I plan to have longer runs to allow air to cool better and condense so it will give up more moisture in the filters.

Left drop goes to a manifold with a drain valve, then to compressor. Center drop goes through a moisture filter to air hose reel. Right drop goes to 3-stage filter for paint gun.

All blue line fittings are 3/8 NPT. The line is 1/2".
