Air Compressor Lines: Garage Water Separator Manifold / Air Dryer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Installing air compressor lines / Shop / Garage Air System in the House of Chop, including a gravity based air drying manifold / after cooler. This is one of the most simple and effective ways to get clean, dry air throughout your shop. I take you through the process of building a 3/4” copper system and explain how it works.
It’s important to keep the lines of your air compressor dry, you don’t want moisture ripping up your equipment and causing rust inside your tools. It’s especially important for plasma, sand blast setups, and any paint or powder work.

Where did you happen to get the 3/4 inch braided line that goes to the Eastwood filter?
That’s super available. It’s the flex line used to connect a water heater to the hard line. You can find it at nearly any hardware store.
Thank you! I was looking at those! Just FYI most say rated for 125 PSI but there are some up to 200 PSI. I'll have to see if I can find a 200 for my applocation as a compressor whip. Thanks!
Nice build man, I've been running mine like that for 6 years, works a dream.
A tip an old boy plumber taught me on solder, you'll only need the same amount of solder as the width of the pipe. So half inch pipe = half inch of solder etc. That way you don't get any mass build up of solder inside the pipe creating obstructions to slow the air flow or causing turbulence that lead to vibrations.
Thank you I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. That’s a great tip with the solder I’m without a doubt keeping that in mind for the next time I light up the torch. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I laugh and learn something every time I watch one of your videos. A person can't ask for much more than that. Thank you sir.
Thank you sir for the support. Your help and friendship has been immeasurable 🔥👍🏼🔥
Absolutely fantastic. I love seeing someone invest in dry air properly, rather than all these massive expensive setups out there with a filter sitting no more than a foot of hose from the AC.
Jeremy Lacey Thank you. I seriously appreciate you watching and taking a moment to comment 🔥👍🏼🔥
It amazes me the amount of money people will drop on a filter setup but never consider placement. The whole game is won or lost right there most times.
Great video.
I just completed my own water separator radiator. Your video was one of the better ones on the topic. Certainly the most entertaining.
Thanks
Your welcome! Thank you for the view and the comment. Super appreciate it. 🔥👍🏼🔥
More over on Instagram @house.of.chop
Beautiful work!
Potential simplifications for me and others looking to create a similar setup:
-rather than make the top loop from 5 pieces: 2 45 degree elbows, 2 short segments, and 1 90 degree elbow, you could make it from 3 pieces: 2 45 degree street elbows that will fit directly into the 90 degree elbow. At the bottom, same strategy, replacing the 90 degree elbow with a T fitting, at which point you can either have the ball valve and drains continue at a 45 degree angle or fit another 45 degree street elbow to make the drains parallel to the runs.
Oh man I love your smile and your disposition. Positive energy.....you got it brother.
You get the gift of creation and the sky is the limit.
Hell yeah John! Appreciate that brother! Life’s short and this stuff is awesome. No point in not enjoying it. Thank you for the kind words. 🔥👍🏼🔥
i'd be smiling too this is a lot less expensive than using black iron or steel pipes.
Just wanted you to know that I used your video and built my own manifold very similar you yours. I looked at a ton of video's and found yours to be a lot easier to follow than the others. I was happy to see that it didn't blow into pieces when I charged it with air! lol.. Thanks for the video!
That’s awesome!!!! Thank you for letting me know. If you’re on Instagram shoot me a DM with some shots. I’d like to see your take on it.
Congrats on it staying together 🤣🙌🏼
Should give you loads of clean dry air 🔥👍🏼🔥
That’s indeed a glorious fashion! Love it. Particularly I love the soldered joints. As an electronic hobbyist a nice solder joint makes me feel good.
Thank you! Absolutely something amazing about a well soldered joint 🙌🏼
Great solution for air maintenance with that manifold!! Awesome job!
Thanks Chris. It’s been working out real well so far. Haven’t had a drop past the first drip leg.
If I wasn't in a good mood before, I am after watching your video. The most uplifting video about running air lines I've ever seen! HAH. Thanks! Great Vid!
Anytime Keith. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you’ll consider subscribing 🔥👍🏼🔥
Listen intently to the professor! He is revered as one of the intellectual and industrial giants of our age! This even might make your head blow off!
Call Simon and Garfunkel!! Dig your videos. Not only do I learn something new, but your energy is contagious. Keep pumping out the videos whatever and whenever you can. Truly enjoy watching and learning. Happy New Year!!!
Stephen Page Thank you! What an awesome comment. Seriously appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave feedback. Happy New Year to you and yours! If you are interested I’m also on Instagram @house.of.chop more of the behind the scenes and day to day over there. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Man I really liked your videos. Hope you start making them again
Thank you! Seriously appreciate the feedback 🙌🏼
Your vid was the first one I saw awhile back. I watched a few more recently. Definitely tackling this project soon as I found that a 1.8hp 30 gal air compressor makes lots of water too, even when just using a 1/4 angle grinder.
It works great. I blast and paint with this system without issue. Definitely build it in such a way that it can handle more of a compressor should you ever choose. These things tend to take on a life if their own.
Love your attitude on these videos. The " Sounds of Silence, someone call Simon and Garfunkel" was absolute hilarious.
MAJESTIC DETAIL Hahahaha!!! It was a moment! Appreciate you watching (especially to the end) and taking a moment to leave a comment. I try to keep them fun. So much seriousness these days. 😉🙌🏼
The airlines looks awesome. I will be incorporating parts of the design into some upcoming shop improvements.
Thank you Scott super appreciate the feedback. Can't wait to see your system and what you come up with.
Don't ever ever stop making videos! I absolutely love you style and swag!
Hell yeah!!! Thank you 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Seriously appreciate you. Thank you for taking a moment to comment 🔥👍🏼🔥
I built mine identical to yours and thanks for the measurements.
Excellent! I glad it worked out. Mine is still performing perfectly. Very happy with it.
Your Solder is fine, not sure why you used 4-45 degree joints and not just 2-90 degree joints.
You definitely have a fun personality.
Thank you! It was just a look no real reason. I liked the pointy top better. Appreciate your generous words and taking the time to leave a comment.
@@HouseofChop In air brake systems three 90s is a blockage. I have 90s on my system and slanted the whole rig a little to help water drain along one side of each tube toward the ball valves.
Professor Chop has done it again! Lots to learn from this video, just splendid!🙌
I appreciate the kind words. This was a fun and very useful project. It works great 🔥👍🏼🔥
Great job man! Going to be doing this soon myself. Bro, I had no clue Murr could plumb like that?!! 🤣🤣 Kidding man, keep these good videos rocking🤘🤘
Hysterical! Thank you. Appreciate you taking a moment to comment 🙌🏼
Good luck with your setup!
I love that air compressor. Shop is looking really nice
burt24pop That compressor gets it done for its size. Super happy I bought it. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thank you for checking out the video and taking a moment to comment. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Thanks for sharing, I have a similar setup it stops water but not moisture, so I added a very inexpensive AquaChek filter after it.
Excellent point. This system still will need a filter of some kind to take out that very last bit that's why I have the one micron set up at the end of mine. Really did the trick 🔥👍🏼🔥
That's awesome! I'm doing similar things this weekend, but with pex.... Because, well, I'm not quite as classy as the Chopster! Great video as always Phil!
Hahahaha, it has nothing to do with class and everything to do with I was committed to learning how to solder joints. I be waiting to see your Pex system. If I had a large space to do I’d do the cooling section in copper and all the lines in Pex. It’s a real sound way to go. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I love your presentation, full of enthusiasm and humour.....subscribed on that alone. Nice one matey.
Thank you! That’s awesome. Delighted you enjoyed it
I installed mine yesterday, can't wait to start using it next week!
Awesome!!!! You’ll have to let me know how it works out 🔥👍🏼🔥
@@HouseofChop I will, i have a couple projects coming up.
done right, done once, beautiful work mate 👍💪
Thank you, sir! Your generous gift of the lab coat made it all possible.
You have bought me with your enthusiasm, pyre charisma and working ethics... nice job Ser... will follow you 4 sure... best wishes... oh, and, I'll build mine soon enough... ;)
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words and the follow. When you build yours make sure you let me know. I’d like to see your take on it. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Really nice, clean project.
Thank you! Appreciate the comment 🙌🏼
Awesome job Phil. Never seen a system like this. 👍😎
Thank you Scott. They are pretty common in auto body shops for getting out the water. People have been doing this forever. 🔥👍🏼🔥
So many people are putting the cooling lines after the tank instead of before the tank and they use bare copper pipes instead of a transmission cooler, they put the lines against a wall and have no fan. I cut the tube from the pump, added a transmission cooler with an electric fan that blows on the cooler and the pump all the time and two water filters before it gets to the first tank. I then swapped the drive pulley for one 33% larger.
I really like the system you built, I'm sure the compressor can keep up, but mine was a bit smaller compressor so I bumped it from 3HP to 5HP and then over drove the pump and added more cooling and extra tanks.
Putting the lines before the tank is 110% the better way to go. With the space I had here this is the best I could do. Your system sounds pretty badass but don’t count this one out. It’s a strong option and a passive setup that takes up very little space it also added quite a bit of capacity to the system.
I’d be interested to see a video of your setup and how you pulled it together. Sounds awesome. 🔥👍🏼🔥
They don’t teach ya this in school. Looks incredible Chop
Sadly compressed air deliver is quite overlooked 🤣
Thank you brother appreciate it. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Haha.. great video Phil. Definitely need to make this once Papa Mo's shop comes to fruition!!👊👊😁
Hell yeah thanks! If you need any insight at the time don’t hesitate to reach out. 😉🙌🏼
I am back to watch again. This is a great video.
Thank you. Appreciate the generous words 🙌🏼
Very elegant build. In light of the pandemic-crazy current material prices I wonder if I'm better off with this or the $500 Harbor Freight refrigeration + filtration air cleaning system.
Thank you! Appreciate the generous words.
I can’t imagine the post pandemic penalty on the materials for this. It wasn’t cheap when I did it.
I’ve seen a few people have pretty damn good luck with that harbor unit and they were painting cars. Might be worth looking into here on how people upgrade them. Usually shows the misgivings of a particular unit clearly.
I really really enjoyed the professor bit and comical acting in this video!!
Danielmires Hahahaha! Thank you that was a funny after thought I had to include. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
House of Chop Of course! I have to return that feel good feeling! Thank you 🙏 you put in a lot of effort and energy. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I just subscribed!
Danielmires Thank you! That’s very kind and I’m Super grateful for the subscription. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Would be super cool if you could put fins on the copper tubes in the heat exchange region.
Anything that could pull out more heat would be helpful. It works great the way it is too. I’ve blasted, painted, did product runs on the plasma table and it’s never once failed me
Great job Chop. I would have loved to do this out of copper but I couldn’t talk myself into the expense. I have everything to do it in PVC. When I have time, that’s my next big project. I may be making a mistake and end up doing it twice which goes against my “Buy once cry once” mantra. You definitely did it right.
The copper is not cheap I'll give you that. There is some conversation surrounding PVC and if it's safe for air or not. I'm inclined to think it would be just fine but you may want to do some quick searches and see how you feel about it. If I had to do a long system I believe I would have done the manifold section in copper then ran the rest in PEX.
House of Chop I did. I know that air pressure breaking the pipe is the concern. Especially if it’s struck by something. I ran the pipe overhead so it’s lower risk. Also the pipe is rated for 480 psi, I’m only putting 100psi max. Also it’s indoors. Low exposure to UV which can cause damage. Also, if it breaks, the only cleanup is broken plastic. Air doesn’t make much of a mess.
I believe most this internet wisdom around the use of PVC is nonsense. I’m sure your system will serve you for many years without concern.
@@ManCrafting What kind of pipe are you using>? CPVC pipe? thanks
Manny Yabar I just used schedule 40 PVC rated at 480 psi.
A simple engineering fact I just learned to have saved you from building that massive setup is to add a pump aftercooler between the air compressor pump outlet and the air tank check valve. The reduction of temperature to the supply air to the tank will keep condensation out of your air tank, especially in cold winter months where the temperature difference is massive. You just need a cooler, some fittings to adapt the line size from the cooler, and some soft bendable copper HVAC tubing to merge the compressor pump air supply through the cooler and to the factory check valve into the compressor. Then you can have your whole system water free from the very start! (Add dryers for complete water-free OCD lines, but be prepared to see them remain dry forever) 😁
I like it! No doubt that’s a better setup. Looks like you have a video of your own to make.
Awesome job. I'm getting ready to do the same thing.
Thank you! You’re going to be pleased. Made a huge difference here. I shoot paint with it and everything.
Looks good two tips if you're going to make more air lines it's agents code to solder air lines they need to be brazed. Also it has j high chance for a leak to solder an open fitting meaning both ends of the fitting should be fluxed and soldered at the same time. The blue weighting is to signify it's type l copper and doesn't affect solder or brazing
Kekoa Shipman Thank you for the tips. 🙌🏼
This project for me was really about learning to solder and so far it has held well. We shall see as time progresses 🔥👍🏼🔥
Nice work! I need to run some air line in my shop. 👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks Mike! Yes run them. So much better than dealing with dragging the hose everywhere. 😉
Beautiful Work Professor Chop. Awesome design, setup, and execution.
Super appreciate it Dave. Thank you 🔥👍🏼🔥
Really enjoyed this video I’ll be building one this weekend now, thank you
Nigel Moxon Your welcome. Let me know how it works out 🔥👍🏼🔥
Crushing it!! Love the bungy cord tip, gonna put that one into use.
Iron Shepherd Forge Trust the bungy! It will be your best friend some days!!! 🔥👍🏼🔥
@@HouseofChop I love bungies. I always wear eye pro when stretching them, though. Almost lost an eye many years ago...proof of the power of the bungy!!
Iron Shepherd Forge When bungies attack! 🤣🙌🏼
Good tip. Not worth losing an eye over for sure.
nice practical job. after reading the comments, of course I have some to share. Don't use PVC. It won't cool the air like the copper will. I see you are in Pa. a cooler climate. If the wall is cement block and stays cooler than the ambient air, securely mounting the pipe to the wall will act as a heat sink. Otherwise use unistrut for a air gap.
jerry demas Thank you for watching and for your feedback and experience. I have to agree with everything thing you have said. This is the way that was going to work for my situation but there sure are better ways for it to be done. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Behind the scenes action over on Instagram if you are interested @house.of.chop 😉
Nice work! I’ve been wanting to plumb my garage forever. Wish I could make solder joints look like yours. Thanks for the great how to.
Thank you! Seriously appreciate the feedback. You can absolutely do it. This was the first time ever I had soldered joints. Just enough flux and don’t go crazy on the wire.
Nice bro..all DIYer should know this basic knowledge. I had also a video like this..with combination of oiler or lubricator.a great attachment to out air compressor
Thank you. I agree 110%. Important basic knowledge and will save the life of your tools and keep those blasting and plasma cutting tools well fed. 🙌🏼
Found you today. Great video. I learned a great deal.
That’s Awesome! Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Awesome video and very nice setup! Just bought a hose reel for my compressor as well, thinking about running some copper to other parts of my garage and this definitely made me more confident in doing it myself. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome that’s what it’s all about. Thank you for the generous words and good luck. It’s pretty simple after you get the hang of it.
That's one way to filter without having a filter. Old steam locomotives used something similar between the compressor and brake system.
Love the science behind how it works!
Yes! I would suspect this from a Weld Scientist 🤣🙌🏼
So funny 😂 yet so awesome !!!!
Hahahaha thank you. Seriously appreciate you watching and taking a moment to leave a comment 🙌🏼🙇🏻♂️
@@HouseofChop Oh absolutely Chop! You have a lot of great ideas and the attention to detail you give is much the same as I would! I can also very much tell you enjoy making your videos! The editing is 👌👌👌!

Very entertaining. Thank you for sharing. Profesor
Man, nice joints
Thank you 🙌🏼
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. 🙌🏼
Nice work on the whole thing.
Now you can add some automatic drain valves to it so it flushes automatically!
Awesome video sir energy is amazing
Excellent work Phil 👌 well executed and as always, very entertaining 👍 😁
So glad you enjoyed it Darrell. I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for the video Professor Chop. I can't imagine being more entertained by watching someone install shop air in their garage.
Can I ask, did you use Type L or Type M copper here?
Hey thank you for the feedback stoked you enjoyed it. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
I actually used the L copper. At the time the money difference wasn’t all that great and I figured a bit more heft couldn’t hurt.
Thanks man gonna do
My garage at home like this with my filtration system! 😀
Awesome! Let me know how it works out for you. 🔥👍🏼🔥
That's really cool like exposed copper plumbing on Pinterest. I wanna do a custom mirror finish kitchen sink like this, but weld the pipe, scotch brite it, and clearcoat it.
Guns Cars and Digits That sink project sounds awesome. Anything that shows off the guts of the machine and is still functional ranks in my book. 🔥👍🏼🔥
NICE JOB!!! I will be doing mine soon. Thanks!
Thank you! Good luck. Made a huge difference around here.
Nice work!! Looks good man!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Awesome
Thank you! 🙌🏼🙇🏻
I used a mini fridge and a transmission cooler. I sandblast and paint with 95 percent humidity with no issues.
I’d like to see that setup. So many ways to get it done and if it blasts and paints it’s good 🙌🏼
@@HouseofChop do you have an email? I can send you some pics.

First of all, I love your videos. I am in the process of running my airlines in my shop and was going to use PVC or PEX but am now convinced to go with Copper. I think it is much more professional and will last a lifetime. Thanks and keep the videos coming. I am also interested in your rolling work table with all of the holes in the top. Where can I purchase one of those?
Thank you! SUPER appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. For me the copper was the only way to go. I just like the look of it and there was no doubt it would work.
As for the Rhino Cart that table is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. My welding/fabrication game jumped up a few notches with the addition of that table.
I did a video on it too right here: th-cam.com/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/w-d-xo.html
You can actually buy it DIRECTLY from Strong Hand through Amazon and get the free shipping, which your gonna want because its right around 500LB.
This link also helps the channel out a bit too and won't cost you a single dime more. amzn.to/2XYrvAJ
Please don't use PVC for air lines, they will explode!
That was fun. Good work, man!

@@HouseofChop hi I just have a question ? what kind of cooper pipe used regular tube for water or Gas ?
@@josemanueljimenezpadilla3136 Absolutely. 3/4” pipe made for water right off the shelf at the local hardware store will do it.
@@HouseofChop good because the copper pipe for gas costs twice as the pipe for water here in Tijuana Baja California . thank you very much !!!
@@josemanueljimenezpadilla3136 Let me know how it works out 🙌🏼
Nice👍👍👍👍, wow are you nice with the trolls lol
I ran mine in a combination of black pipe and rigid (threaded)electrical conduit.... I'm sure the last would fire some folks up. Use what ya got. Been 3 years .
Gib Clark The trolls usually offer exactly zero back to the world. Anyone making a real contribution or actually putting themselves out there will approach in an entirely different manner. Or more simply put - I’m not going to let someone else’s insecurities get me fired up. There is too much living to do.
As for your set up - I 110% agree! Use what you have. There are plenty of ways to address this and almost any need. One of the larger problems today is the tendency for everyone to seem to think they are the only person who knows anything. It’s lasted you 3 years and probably will serve you well for MANY more. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Super appreciated 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Great video man. And I had a good laugh as well I feel like if Jim Brewer did a diy video this is how he would do it lol. Cheers 🍻

Those shirts 😍 seriously though awesome job as always. Next on house of chop I travel to Bulldog Welding to fix his airlines. 😂😂
Had to rep the Bulldog!!! Thank you sir. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Have you ever considered connecting the manifold dryer/cooler between the compressor and the tank? That would keep the air in the tank cool and dry. Better for the tank. Add filters after the tank.
That would absolutely be the ideal way to set it up. I couldn’t make it work in my space but if you can it would be a huge improvement.
Excellent Job ChopMan! Learned a lot from your informative and entertaining video - nice production! I recently installed a Kobalt 2 Stage 60 Gal 175psi compressor and investigating the best options to add and methods to use to make it operational. You've inspired me to follow your design, learn to sweat joints myself - thank you! A couple of unrelated questions; your blacktop project table with the holes in it - please post details and a review of it, and please discuss your sand blaster cabinet. I just subscribed to your channel and will see if you have already addresses these in the meantime. Again, MANY THANKS!
ChopMan - never mind, found your vid on the Rhino table - THANKS AGAIN!
Thank you again! Super appreciate the sub. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I also did two videos on the blast cabinet if you wanted to see a bit more there. I’m on Instagram too if you do the gram. @house.of.chop
spectacular, what welding table is that with the extension?
Thank you. The table is called the Rhino Cart. Strong Hand Tools makes it. I did a video on it here for some more info: th-cam.com/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Cool the air before it enters tank,,, I used 1/2 inch coiled copper and my water separator before the tank and solved water issue,,, dropped my air temperature from the pump to tank by 100 degrees,, I have down drops on all my outlets but not that crazy setup
George Spangler That’s the ideal way to do it for sure. In my application it wasn’t going to work but anyone that could situate the cooler before the tank would benefit enormously. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Nice soldering! I haven't dealt much with solder, but I know it can be tricky to get just the right amount! What is the purpose of spraying the paint can upside down and then setting on the table upside down? An old trick of some sort? I apologize if you have already answered this in the comments. Awesome video. I dig the enthusiasm in all of your videos!
Kuehl Enterprises Thank you. Appreciate your kind words and taking a few minutes to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I always set the can upside down between coats just to keep the paint mixing in the can. When I pick it up and give it a shake for the next coat it will upset the way it was settled in the can. Just a method I got to after realizing the paint coats much better with a super thorough mix. As for spraying it upside down it clears the nozzle so it won’t clog between coats. Just give it a spray inverted till the paint stops and you get a puff of propellant. 😉
good work professor Chop ;-)
Thank you for checking out the video Mark. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Why haven't I seen this before 😂😁 I'm doing this next.
It works well 😉🙌🏼
Cool setup. One thing I would have done different is put the air compressor outside instead of inside where you have it. Due to THE FACT that air compressors are a very potential bomb and DO blow up occasionally. Great video thank you
Good soldering job. Any leak for first timer? You could run all the bottom of each 3 exchausts out by combine to one out with one valve on the bottom of the pipes.. Will it works too?
Thank you! No leaks now for over 2 years. You could run the pipes anyway you’d like so long as the air is forced to travel the full distance… no shortcuts for the air. 😉🙌🏼
@@HouseofChop Just said it would be easier if you would combine the exchaust vent to just one place and one release valve instead of three.
@house of chop, the lil black and white segment was absolutely Hilarious. Loved it! Loving the Crummy Welding Shirt as well. So, tell me how are you liking the Eastwood Compressor so far???
Thank you. Seriously appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I’ve had that compressor for about 2.5 years now and it’s been great. Plenty of air even when I’m running the blast cabinet and it’s quiet. They have since upgraded it a bit and it’s a little bit more powerful. If space is a consideration or if you must have in in your work area like I do I’d say it’s worth serious consideration.
@@HouseofChop Thanks for the quick reply. I'm wanting one for my basement workshop, so space is a consideration, as well as noise. Yours seemed to be Super Quiet. Believe this is the one!
Phillip Chambers Awesome. Yes in a basement this would be a great choice. Good luck with it and let me know how it works out. I’ve been very curious about the newer “Elite” version.
@@HouseofChop definitely will do. Thanks again for your help!
Nice jobs! What type of copper tubing did you use? Type L?
Thank you! I used type L. Figured a little extra weight couldn’t hurt.
So it blows dirty oily compressor water down your sheet rock? I would have mounted it to a 2 x 4 offset from the wall or angled the drain valves away from the wall. I like the angled top sections of your system.
clockguy2 Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave feedback.
Indeed it’s less than ideal. Unfortunately I needed it tight to the wall. There are always trade offs. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Milk Crates and Bungy cords enough said 🤣
Hahahaha! What else is there? Also would have been a great band name Circa 1992
House of Chop so true!
Great job! Pretty serious about doing same here. Genuinely sincere question: why the diamond shapes at the top instead of just flat across like others have done?
Thank you! It works great. I’ve blasted, painted a truck, did product runs with the plasma table and the system hasn’t let me down yet. The 45s at the top were just a aesthetic choice. Some have argued that it might flow better. I really doubt with all the 90s in the system that’s the case.
