**Setting Up a Air Compressor System**

As I sat down to work on my air compressor system, I realized that it wasn't as straightforward as I thought it would be. The key to success lay in planning and preparation. I wanted to run a hose from the compressor to the center of my stud, with the other accessory hose fitting into place seamlessly.

To begin, I attached a couple of anchors to the top of the piping system, which would allow me to fine-tune the length and position of the hose. It was essential to consider the routing of the piping to avoid direct heat sources or areas where it could get punctured. I wanted to keep the piping away from any potential hazards, such as nearby equipment or obstructions.

As I worked on the system, I discovered that the fitting was similar to plumbing push-fit connectors. To ensure a secure connection, I needed about an inch of the hose to be seated inside the fitting. This allowed for a small amount of play, which made it easier to install and adjust.

To cut the hose, I used a special tool that seemed to work quite well. It was essentially a little putter that squeezed onto the pipe, making a clean square cut on the end. To ensure accuracy, I measured out an inch and marked the spot with a pencil, allowing me to make precise cuts in the future.

As I worked on the system, I also realized the importance of proper direction. I decided to add one or two additional fittings to keep the hose from flopping around, which would provide extra stability to the system. With everything installed and prepared, I fired up the compressor, which was surprisingly easy to operate once I had everything set up.

The test run was a success, with the system holding steady under pressure. To further validate its performance, I considered adding a water check, but for now, it seemed sufficient. As I finished up my work, I realized that setting up this air compressor system wouldn't have been possible without some trial and error. The key takeaways from my experience include planning ahead, considering potential hazards, and using the right materials and tools for the job.

**Options for Air Compressor Systems**

One of the significant advantages of this particular kit is its flexibility. With 100 feet of hose available, I had plenty of room to expand or reconfigure the system as needed. This flexibility was particularly useful since I ended up only using about 20 feet of the provided hose.

For heavier pressures or more extensive applications, it's essential to consider alternative options. In such cases, steel pipe with threaded fittings is often the preferred choice. These systems are designed to withstand higher pressures and provide a more reliable connection than plastic lines, which can shatter under stress and pose serious safety risks.

In my experience, using this type of system for smaller applications like air compressors has proven to be more than sufficient. With most shops operating at lower pressures (typically around 90-100 pounds), the risk of catastrophic failure is significantly reduced. However, it's essential to remember that every situation is unique, and proper planning and execution are crucial to ensuring a safe and effective system.

**Conclusion**

Setting up an air compressor system requires some expertise and attention to detail, but with careful planning and preparation, the results can be impressive. By considering potential hazards, using the right materials, and following best practices, you can create a reliable and efficient air compression system that meets your needs. Whether you're building a new shop or expanding an existing one, this type of system is definitely worth exploring – and our experience will hopefully provide valuable insights to help you navigate the process.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi I'm Shanna from house improvements comm and today I'm going to be installing a compressed air piping system here in my own graduate job so I've picked up a kit that I found that seemed to have all the all the right pieces in it pretty much for what I needed to do for a for basically a small grabs like I've got so so that's what I did I picked up the kit the kit comes with a nylon piping this particular kit is 1/2 inch so it's nylon piping it's designed for compressed air so there shouldn't be any fear and it blowing up or anything it's this is what it's made for it's it's also designed this particular kit is designed for up 250 psi so in your average garage where you know home workshop sort of thing you're not likely to ever be using any more high pressure than that so I should be fine there so we've got the the piping it also is a kind of a push fit sort of connection system so there's no tools involved in actually putting the pipe into the fittings so it comes with a few few of the push fit type threaded fittings there's some elbows there a push fit it also comes with this particular kit comes with some drains so this is for moisture drains you've got the aluminum block here which is basically your manifold doesn't come with the with the couplers so depending on the type of air tool system you've got you'll need to purchase some couplers it comes with some of these offset elbow connections that thread in there this is just another one of these straight couplers there it came with a couple plugs as well they're in these manifolds or some holes that you may not need so it's got a plug in it to to look after any of the ones you don't need comes with its own little set of cutters for the piping itself so that's kind of nice so they've included that so I think that's that's the main things that it all comes with there are accessories you can buy separately there's some teas and different things or if you need extras of some of these other parts most of the retailers that sell this particular system generally have some of the accessories to go with it so in my case what we're setting up and there's a little bit of a even a bit of a schematic here right on the box itself so in my case I'm going to have a manifold set up close to the compressor so the compressor will be hooked it and then I'm coming up the wall and across over to one one more outlet on the other end of the shop so you know but as you can see they've got all kinds of different setups this is actually their their compressor setup here but it just gives you some ideas on what you could do with it but you can pretty much do what you need to as long as you've got all the right accessories so to start off with I've already set up the manifold over at the compressor but we will take a look at it I'll just give you a quick run through there I ran some pipe on the wall so basically I've got it over to to my main outlet point and that's what we're going to really finish off with today so what I did is I just kind of put my basic pieces together figured out you know what what I need on each manifold and this is the one manifold here that I've got ready to go right now I did make the mistake when I first started out I didn't read the instructions and my first manifold I put it all together using like a thread seal just a teflon tape now once I read the instructions they actually don't recommend that and I'm assuming it may have something to do with as you're threading it in with the tape on there some little fibers of that tape might get dislodged and in the air stream so then you've got kind of a projectile inside there that could blow into your tool or your eye or whatever so so anyways I took that one apart and got rid of the tape and we're just using a pipe dope this one over on this one side has a whole list of different things that's compatible with one of them is compressed air and it's compatible with the pipe and everything so we should be good using that so that's what I'm using so what I'm going to do is we're going to take this all apart and put it together they B's fittings just these ones here came with some kind of thread lock or something rate there's a white substance in the threads so I'm assuming it's some kind of thread lock or seal I'm still going to put a little bit of the dope on it as well just to be sure but there is something on there that that came right from the factory that way I've already put the plug in the back of one to be sure I did that so I didn't forget it so we'll just start out here with each of these fittings and you don't need hardly any of this at all I just need to dribble a little bit on a few threads right at the beginning and then as it turns and threads in there it kind of works its way around I mean it's not taking up really much much of a space so you can see there I just added a little bit on near the bottom threads I should be able to start it by hand here into the block into the aluminum block and I'm just going to thread it in take an adjustable wrench and I'm having my my coupler facing down so I'm just kind of orientating that so it's straight and facing down a little bit if I can something like that so there's that that one this fitting this coupler is actually off my compressor so it's already got a little bit of goop on the ends too but I didn't need it on the compressor and all I can kind of show you that when we go over there so I'm just reusing it at this point so it will thread on to there so just get that making some contact case we've got that on there we've got the drain they send these little drains which in most air systems you're going to get a little bit of moisture I'm usually this shops been pretty good up till now so I'm not putting in a water trap or like a lot air dryer or anything like that or water what do they call it like a water that's oh I think it's called a water trap you can put it in line to actually collect the water and drain it but this system does include these drains that you can put at the end of every run so if you are getting moisture in the lines you can at least open up and kind of flush it through the through the system so I'm just going to turn this around again getting it tight and orientating it the way I want a little more out of it I have to use two wrenches I kind of like this system with these big Lumina blocks it actually works out quite nicely it's not flimsy at all you know you can actually get on there and refit with the wrench a little bit if you have to to get things tight and not worry about breaking the housing so I definitely like that about this system so we got that I went probably a little too far see if I can just back it off a little bit I'm pretty close okay so this will be on the wall we've got our drain we've got our coupler we just need our fitting in the top here for the pipe to hook into so put a little bit of that on there thread that in so again like I said they they don't recommend using the teflon tape products so so we're not okay so all this stuff in my case is just extra I don't need it now I'm at the point get on there now I'm at the point we can probably go over to the compressor and have a look and another thing that wasn't included in the kit although they do have some of those accessories that you can buy is just some kind of clip to attach to the wall I wouldn't recommend using anything metal when you're dealing with a neat nylon line like this because you will have a little bit of movement as its you know as time goes on and you know the metal could cut through it so I found just these little plastic lines you know you might they might be used for plumbing or holding loom in an electrical system or something but they're just nice fit for this this is just a piece of the piping so I can you know mount that easily with the screw hole that's there and it's it's nylon itself so it shouldn't affect the pipe or dig into it or anything so you just have to pick some of those up however many you need so I think what we'll do we'll leave this for now we'll go over to the compressor and I'll just show you the main compressor end manifold set up and then we'll come back over to the other end where this one's going to go and show you how easy it is to do it okay so we've come over here to my actual compressor location and it's kind of in the way to really see what's going on behind it but if you look here this is where my my regulator is here coming off the compressor I put a valve in just to be able to turn the air on and off and then I put a flexible hose from the compressor back to the to the manifold on the wall that's important you want otherwise if this was a rigid line you're going to get vibration from the compressor running you know kind of running through the whole system so it's important to throw in a rubber rubber line there I'm just going to pull this out of the way if I can I don't have a lot of hose on here so hopefully I can get it kind of maneuvered out of our out of our way a little bit more there okay so like I said this yellow line is just that's the feed coming from the compressor and you can see we've got another one of those manifolds right there mounted directly onto the wall the yellow line comes in I threw another coupler over here so I can run you know if I want to run another hose from this area I can so I've got a coupler just like you watched me basically assemble over there and then our blue line which is going up to feed our remote location and you can see the line I kind of pre did it did it because you can see I had to work around a bunch of stuff so I I did it off-camera and I've just got a strap simply right to the wall I put one of those straps at every stud location that's yet to be seen right now I'm kind of wondering you can see here where I've got a little bit of a you know a little bit of a loop or a droop in it I don't know whether that might collect water over time I'm thinking it won't because it's not a real big sag but I'll have to kind of monitor that and see over time if it does anything about then as we get around to here this is where this air general area here is where my my other manifold is going to be and then I've got a hose coming up from my hose reel that's going to hook into that and I've got a hose reel below this table so so we'll go basically reset the camera and we're going to come back to this location I'm just going to show you know finishing this this line off okay so we're back over here at a remote location actually just a second ago you see me refer to this area here on the wall I'm just I was wrong I'm moving over this one more done here so I've kind of determined I want the height of the manifold to be somewhere in this range and I purposely haven't hooked this pipe up solid yet because I'm just trying to get it out of the way here just because we need a bit of access to it to get it hooked into here so I'll just leave that off for right now so so we're heading for this general direction I want to mount it right into a stud so I'm just going to find the edges of my stud here okay so somewhere in this range is going to be the center now unfortunately these holes are spaced too wide to mount you know all four screws right onto a stud so I guess if you really needed this to be super firm you know you might want to mount a piece of plywood onto a stud and then mount this to the plywood in my case you know it's not like you should be really yanking on this or anything so I think it's going to be all right I'm just mounting one side here right through the drywall to the studs so I can always change it afterwards if I need to something else I did is I modified their block just a little bit these holes on the front we're in countersunk like they are now they were just like this on the back you know if you're going to use a pan head screw or bolt or something that would look alright I'm using a flat head screw so I just wanted them countersunk so they look a little more flush so shouldn't be a big deal so I'm going for this height kind of lining it up with the center of my stud as one that's that should be more than solid enough and my other accessory hose fits there reaches to it so that shouldn't be a problem so now the next thing is I just want you know I want that piping to come along here I think what I'll do I'll attach a couple of the these uh anchors here up top and then I can get an idea for my length and cut that hose off and insert it probably should have these on before the safety crew gets after me somewhere in here so I guess when you're planning out your route for your pipe I would think you probably want to keep it away from any direct heat sources or anywhere where it could get punctured as well so just kind of consider that while you're planning out your route since I got this I might as well use it just trying to run that around like that I can fine tune this afterwards I just want to get it kind of close to where I need to be so with this fitting it's much like the plumbing push-fit type connectors we need a basically an inch of this hose to be down inside of there so I've got I mean I've got a little bit of play there so I'm just going to say approximately here is where I'm going to cut it off they send this little putter it seems to work pretty good I've only had to cut a couple little pieces but it basically just goes on the pipe just squeeze it down like that then it makes a pretty clean nice square little cut on the end okay so hold your finger at where you figure about an inches or measure it out put a pencil mark just because you want to be sure that this is going down in there the full inch so that you know that it's right into the teeth that's about all there is to it all probably put one more one more of these guys proper direction we'll probably put one or two of these in here just keep this from flopping around so I'll maybe do that and then I'll fire up the compressor and we'll give it a try okay so we fired up the compressor actually it was full air I just had to turn the valve on and right off the start I thought I had a leak because I had forgotten close this little drain here so anyways came over here close the drain up everything seems to be good everything's holding you could do a water check if you wanted to bit of a dishwasher so or dish washing soap in a bit of water and run around all your connections but for the most part you should be pretty good to go we'll just okay so that that airs up my my reel down below the bench down there and should be good to go so it's you know not that major of assistant input in I don't know I don't think I would have spent maybe hour-and-a-half of the very most getting things kind of figured out and prepped up but it's all done you you have the option with this system like I said if I want to expand it now I could I can put a tee in or whatever and run another line wherever I need to go this this particular kit comes with I believe it was 100 feet and I used maybe I don't even think I used hardly 30 feet maybe 20 feet so I've definitely got enough line to either do another building or maybe run another line to the other side of the shop or something like that so anyways other other options for this sort of thing if you're going to run a lot heavier pressures then you probably want to go to steel pipe where it's actually all threaded and metal fittings and everything you really want to stay away from like the white plastic type lines I know they're made they're made for water they're not made for this kind of pressure and some places do get away with it for quite a while but when it breaks it just send shards of plastic everywhere and somebody's going to get hurt but this particular product is made for this so you know I can't see it being a problem it's obviously been tested up 250 psi and in your average shop you know if you're using nailers and that sort of thing you're generally only running you know 90 pounds or 100 pounds probably at the most so so it should be more than plenty safe enough for in here so hopefully this gave you an idea of an option at least if you wanted to do something like this and hopefully it helped Joe if you

right off the start I thought I had a leak because I had forgotten close this little drain here so anyways came over here close the drain up everything seems to be good everything's holding you could do a water check if you wanted to bit of a dishwasher so or dish washing soap in a bit of water and run around all your connections but for the most part you should be pretty good to go we'll just okay so that that airs up my my reel down below the bench down there and should be good to go so it's you know not that major of assistant input in I don't know I don't think I would have spent maybe hour-and-a-half of the very most getting things kind of figured out and prepped up but it's all done you you have the option with this system like I said if I want to expand it now I could I can put a tee in or whatever and run another line wherever I need to go this this particular kit comes with I believe it was 100 feet and I used maybe I don't even think I used hardly 30 feet maybe 20 feet so I've definitely got enough line to either do another building or maybe run another line to the other side of the shop or something like that so anyways other other options for this sort of thing if you're going to run a lot heavier pressures then you probably want to go to steel pipe where it's actually all threaded and metal fittings and everything you really want to stay away from like the white plastic type lines I know they're made they're made for water they're not made for this kind of pressure and some places do get away with it for quite a while but when it breaks it just send shards of plastic everywhere and somebody's going to get hurt but this particular product is made for this so you know I can't see it being a problem it's obviously been tested up 250 psi and in your average shop you know if you're using nailers and that sort of thing you're generally only running you know 90 pounds or 100 pounds probably at the most so so it should be more than plenty safe enough for in here so hopefully this gave you an idea of an option at least if you wanted to do something like this and hopefully it helped Joe if you liked our what you seen here just check the little like
