I built one myself, 50 feet of copper, joints soldered. It’s important to understand WHY you need this: the compressed air gets very hot and thus VAPORIZES water, which means it can’t be drained out and can easily overwhelm hobbyist-level filters. The pipes cool the air down to the point where the water condensates, so you can then collect and drain it out of the drops before your filters, and then your filters can handle whatever is left.
Yes. 100% correct
When air is compressed, the heat is also compressed. If 147 psi is 10 bar, the heat that was in 10 cubic feet of air is now contained in 1 cubic foot of air. When that heat is removed, the moisture holding capacity of the air drops and moisture condenses. Drain off the moisture from the compressed, cooled air and you now have some very dry air. Problem is, when that compressed air is decompressed, it gets very cold.
@@PCMenten What if you add a heater after the drier?
not sure how much does 50 feet of copper costs, but here in Croatia you can get broken AC units for free or really cheap, and use the heat exchanger for the purpose of cooling the air, needs much less room and is cheaper. Oh and it can hold high pressures.
@@PCMenten Maybe it was unintentional in your writing but to clarify - removing condensed water in compressed air does not cause a colder air temperature than it would become after released with the water still inside.
Kind regards

A good reminder that I need to do something like this in my garage. This is nice, clean install!
Perfect timing! Building this right now actually. I also have a splitter like you and plan to buy a hose that is 100% free from silicone for the paint shop. Silicone is baaad for painting 😂
Thx for all your tutorials.
Kind regards

Nice setup. I'll have to consider adding this to my new garage when I move in a couple years and after you've tested the system.
I did this with copper 2.5 years ago with a qc3 dessicant unit and it works fantastic
I like the editing here. When you are talking about a future step, there's a brief shot of how the install will look. It's helpful to see that visual at the point you are explaining it.
I went to Home Depot and added up the parts to do this with PEX with shark bite fittings (I didn't trust the crimped ends) and black pipe and the kit was actually cheaper. Thanks for sharing. Great channel!
Indeed, this was most excellent, very much appreciated for a new painter like me.
I'm going to use the exact same setup, as always, Brian from Paint Society for the win!!!!
Great set up Brian I’d love a garage at home like that :) awesome buddy 👍👍👍
I've learned so much from you, I appreciate everything you do.
I made that as well 2 years back and it works good
Thats an interesting drying loop setup.
id add a clear water separator before the eastwood cfs. it should always be dry if your system is working properly.
I used the drying loop setup from tptools. I never get any moisture in the water separator, i also use their coslescing filter.
my piping to the loop is 1/2 iron, but i could easily use pex to the metal loop.
Id also use disiccant in eastwoods cfs filter as an extra step when painting.
I've been waiting for you to make this video for a long time. Great video and thank you.
I love the videos. The air system is a great idea if you do a lot of spraying.
Looks great, I am definately doing something like this 👍
I was shown to have compressor off ground (where it is damp) and copper pipe starts at top of wall and circles around the workshop on a decline to end where you need it with 2 vertical drops to catch condensation 1/2 way
around and just b4 the end outlets
Thank you so much for this!!!! I just bought this exact compressor and was lost as to how to get it all set up with a system like this.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips 😮
A big thing people need to consider is that it’s a lot easier to run their system left to right rather than right to left. I have this same kit and it took a lot more planning because of the location of my compressor. 90% of the filter systems out there are non reversible and have ports that are designed for a left side inlet and right side outlet.
really cool setup ..nice and neat
This is great! We asked and we received. Didn't know there was a kit🤔
How timely Brian you posted up this instal and must say i am very impressed with your garage reno ( i have been following you for like 3yrs now as i own 3 x classic cars and are DIY in every aspect). I live in Perth, Western Australia
I just last week built a very similar wall cooling system but in 1" copper pipe and a 3 stage filtration set-up.
My 100ltr compressor is not in my double garage but in an adjoining storage shed so the pipe feeds through the wall and it will keep the compressor noise down dramatically
I also ordered a "Derale 15800 Electra-Cool Cooler Assembly" (transmission cooler) from JEGS in US which i am going to plumb in between the compressor and tank as i have seen this unit is very popular for cooling compressor air before it gets to the tank
I also scored a couple of stainless steel 100ltr tanks rated to 500psi which i want to plumb in next to the compressor so i have 300ltrs of compressed air to cut down compressor run time.
Out of curiosity how much air storage does a pro booth at your work hold?
I have to build a home DIY air extraction system for my double garage next and will be very keen for you to reveal what system you will be DIY building & installing.
My garage is much like yours but double not triple and when my door is down (tilt style door) i went to the trouble with foam stripping added to make sure it seals
(I just ordered 4 x commercial wall mount metal extractor fans that will pull a total of 11,500 m3/h but iam not sure if that is going to be enough.
I will be building a wooden plenum box for the fans and was thinking "positive pressure" would be best for home garage to keep dust & bugs out with filtered air coming into the fans
They probably use a screw type compressor as they're more efficient an less pressure drop off, I work in an engineering company an that's what we use as our machinery uses lots air and we never have air issues even when using air tools.
I feel a lot smarter after this. I requested a radiator be created by copper pipes at a school I worked at so the compressor would get rid of the water. Maintenance thought I was crazy.
Add a small radiator before air goes into the tank install a fan on that radiator, works great.
Trans cooler or power steering fluid cooler. Don't use a radiator. They aren't designed to be pressurized that much. I tested an old one i had lying around with air and at 60psi the bands started to expand. No bueno.
I have the same compressor it is awesome.
great video ❤
I appreciate it. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
this is so freaking cool
Brian you are the best man💯
Thank you !
FYI Most home / cheap pipe cutters also has built in de-burring tool to flip out on the back
Appreciate this professionally instructed video. I can get important visuals into my old paint damaged brain before I start by seeing the finished system and step by step process.
I took to heart using all of the additional parts you suggested.
I have OCD. Seeing you completely using very neat methods and practicing in using correct measurements.
You also started with a clean and well lit work area for assembly and measurements. (As always)
My OCD nature asked myself: Would I use a small clear collection type of device to collect the excess moisture let off by the ball valves at the end of the runs?
Again, thanks so much! I will be building the system you showed.
Well that’s an awesome comment! Thanks for the kind words 😇😇
Soapy water in a spray bottle to check for leaks, if you get bubbles then you have a leak.
Oh man i was looking for a video like that for a while
Thanks for watching !!
Brian that’s a really nice set up it’s very professional, one thing I would add is to just raise the compressor so the moisture rolls towards the drain . Being that the bottom of the tank is round a 1/4 inch will do the job . I also try to drain off the water every night so there is no water in the compressor when I start my day
Great tip
Automatic drain is also a great option. I added one to my vertical tank, but had to build up a platform to have room for the valve to hang down. It’s electronic and opens opens for 1 second every 6 hours.
Great stuff....nice one matey.
Thanks for the visit
GRACIAS SALUDOS DESDE CROWLEY TX
I’ve been waiting for thiiiiiss!!!!!!!!! 😁
Awesome !
@@PaintSociety I have been hoping for a complete all in one kit for so long that I could just order and install easy peasy. I ordered it yesterday and I’m looking forward to it showing up. I cannot wait to start painting everything in sight!!!
Great job! Don’t overthink it, it’s just air.
Great information if the price is good I will order from Rapid air if not will build it, thanks for the info.
Excellent
Love the videos keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
My brother, everything is almost finished, everything in “the workshop” looks very organized, all that’s missing is the paint booth 😎, I want to see the first project start, 💪💪
Ha! Yes it’s been a really exciting and long haul to get to this point but everything was been done tastefully. I can’t wait until you and I can do a project together at the house.
@@PaintSociety I’m ready for it my brotha 💪
Good job guy
Aftercooler and auto drain filter between pump and tank, then Motorguard filter before the gun hose. No water or contamination issues.
To test for air leaks, mix up a cup of water with some dishwashing soap & apply to the joints. You'll see any leaks instantly (bubbles!).
Or just spray some glass cleaner or all purpose cleaner on the joints. Easier if you already have it mixed in a spray bottle.
Dude, that is a bad ass compressor! Too rich for my blood though. And yes, I have looked at them plenty for a couple years now.
Loving the channel. Could you please answer one question for me.
On my compressor I’ve got a Air displacement cfm rating and a Free air delivered (FAD) cfm rating.
Which one is the important one for calculating which gun will work with my setup?
I ran coiled copper through a small refrigerator and collect the water in a bowl. I can sandblast in 95% humidity.
Great video thanks. Could you consider a video talking about CFM as in my short experience where newbies like me buy an HVLP and then LVLP gun it seems to be all about right PSI and CFM together. I ended up changing out the standard hose for a 10mm and appropriate high flow fittings. My next plan is to change the regulator at the compressor as at 1/4" BSP I think it is restricting CFM as each part of the system can also reduce CFM and this is at the very beginning..
Defintely. I can do a video about that
@@PaintSociety Thank you Sir! Anything to eliminate the dreaded orange peel.. 🙏
Hi Brian, your channel is awesome and your expertise is very valuable. How do you like the Eastwood compressor? Is it reliable? I have seen complaints about this specific compressor with Oil getting mixed in with water. How has it worked for you? Thanks!
I flip Harley’s that need repainted. Following some of your vids I have a question. Using a lvlp gun / small compressor what primer, paint, clear coat line do you recommend that doesn’t break the bank and is easy to work with for motorcycles?
PVC, PVC!!! 😊
What hose do you have dedicated to spraying? Size, type, length?
You can use schedule 80 PVC pipe it’s rated for 1280 PSI it’s what you’ll find in a lot commercial buildings.
What are your thoughts on those turbine HVLP paint systems that warm the air and spray at even lower hvlp pressure? I know lots of furniture refinishers that use them and love them but never met anyone shooting cars using them. Curious if you or anyone here has. This is like the opposite concept of wanting cooler dry air versus warmer air,
I painted 6 cars (collisions so it was 2/3 panels) with a Fuji mini mite 5 Turbine system. There was minimal overspray, but the warm air didn’t give an acceptable finish by my standards even when using the smallest cap and needle set (0.8). Since I already had an 80 gal air compressor I sold the Fuji and got the 3m performance gun which gives fantastic results.
You could get extra hose for the Fuji and have that go through cold water to cool the air, which is practical and would help. If you don’t have a suitable compressor to spray I’d say give a Fuji a try; for ~1100 you’d be ready to spray.
My 80 gal IR rand compressor was ~3000, piping $150, regulator/drier ~200, hose 200, gun 500.. Fuji is the best bang for the buck, just be prepared to tinker to dial it in
Hey Brian, been watching n learning off your videos for a few yrs.👍 How do u like that scroll compressor? Is it worth it?
I am on a budget so might try the 50ft of hose in an iced bucket for now.... what length of air hose do you recommend on the gun side?
Do these systems have much of an impact on the CFM at the gun? If so what sort of drop would you expect?
Metal regulator .. hmm I like it and all I see are plastic..., Great Vid Brian!
Im wondering what thickness pipe people reccomend between 8mm and 10mm?
The garage I work in has recently repaired (the first time in 10 years or so) their air system and runs at 120psi, with regulators at each bay/connector so im thinking of buying a gun and trying a new skill
What size is your compressor? Tank size, hp cfm etc. what do you need for painting a car fir example. Not commercial use but diy / hobby use
Wouldn't you want longer drops below the T fittings before each valve for water and other contaminants to accumulate, instead of getting pushed across the horizontal piece?
You’ll barely get a few drops of water if anything and it will be in that first drop off.
That is what I thought too.
Good morning I hope I CN get help I'm using fast hardner because of the weather and I dnt hve a booth I'm spraying from my garage any tips on how to avoid orange peel...thank you
Hey brian i learned a lot from you. One question. What brand or any links for the quick release for paint gun.
Can the Eastwood products be brought in the UK! Does plastic hose contain silicones??
Putting a condenser from a car air conditioner between the pump and tank helps cool the air going into the tank . Make sure you put the condenser in front of the pump fan if it has one or install an electric fan in front of the condenser so cool air can be pulled through the condenser. It has cut way down on draining my tank regularly. Now it's every few days vs every day.
Eddie you need to delete the last two sentences of your post. The condenser setup that you're speaking of will leave more water in the tank not less, which is not a bad thing because that means that the air leaving the tank is somewhat dryer. Take a minute to think about what's actually going on here and you will understand, unless you've acquired one of those magical condensers that has the ability to make water just disappear. If so, sorry my bad.
@Jim James it cools the air from the compressor some before entering the tank instead of having constant hot air . It has less water than without it
I have a refrigerated air dryer plumbed in right after my compressor, I'm running the max air system and have 3 drops, is it helpfully to crack the drop open where i have my hose connected to?
Running a quincy 60 gallon 5 HP compressor and the air dryer is a I forgot but supposedly it's rated for a compressor a few times the size I have.
What is your recommendation on turbine based? I don't have trust in turbine because I own a continous duty compressor with decent cfm. I am just afraid that turbines are very expensive and also generate a lot of heat when trigger is not pressed and the turbine is running continously. That can burn up motor and the motors are also high rpm.
A soldered coil of copper tube in a water bucket is another option if you don’t have all that wall space available.
Is there a video on the channel which describes what the requirements are for the compressor itself? How to select an appropriate compressor?
Great set up! Appreciate vids like this, pelase keep them coming. Also could you show what the rest of the set up would look like, specifically for painting. Thanks
Sure thing!
@@PaintSociety Hey man, any videos regarding the painting setup? such as PSI, guns for various jobs, how to setup the guns, adjusting spary partterns.
@@greatestever467 yes. I have one on how to set up your spray gun. Check a few years back
Easy for you US/AUS lot, ample amounts of space for everything, even your houses have garages the size of our units here.
Could you please explain why you went up and down the wall with your blue lines several times, then added your filter and regulator, why you just didn't go straight across to your filter & regulator?
I want to begin painting an was thinking of buying a 27 gallon 200 psi air compressor from harbor freight. Im not planning on doing big jobs but I wasn’t sure what air hose to buy or the perfect spray gun for this compressor. Can you guide me to the right direction etc. Please.
What are the cfm’s on that compressor.. what type of gun can it support?
The Amazon link for piping kit says "out of stock" with no price. What's the price? Where to get? Will this also work as a dryer for my sand blasting cabinet? Tired of clumpy sand.
Which is suitable for car painting work, an air compressor that runs on gasoline , oil, or only electric?
Another tip that works great. Get eBay cheap transmission cooler and run your compressed air thru it before it enters your tank. Wouldn’t believe the difference
Thanks for the info
I have done that + the copper purge lines after the tank....very dry air after that
I got rid of the short line from the head of the compressor to the tank..... installed a small coil of copper from head to a bucket of water from the water to the tank. It made a massive difference....dirt cheap. The line I use to spray with goes through a filter with the bead's in it.....works great as long as you're not running a DA sander all day. Sometimes I even throw some ice or ice packs in the bucket of water
Just a transmssion cooler? With a fan??
What's the drawback on using PVC? Just asking because that is the route I was about to go before this video.
Can PEX pipe be used for this? It’s rated for 160 psi.
Brain, what size hose and quick connects do you use for your paint gun? I have been using a 3/8 Flexzilla hose and some Milton hi-flo 1/4 couplers. Should I look for something bigger?
Per Brian’s recommendation I switched all of my air tools, including paint gun, over to Prevost high flow fittings which are significantly larger than the OEM tools high flow fittings I was using previously.
Prevost ERP 076251
Prevost - Safety Coupler (ESI071201)
The safety coupler is a game changer with how easily you can connect and disconnect tools. Just push the button and poof, easily disconnect your tool AND it doesn’t want to fly away.
Money well spent.
What was the HDLP fitting he references in the video?
I have a 20 gallon/ 125psi
Displacement 11.7 scfm
Maximum delivery 6.6 scfm at 125 psi
Is this a good compressor to paint a car?
Doesnt the cooler cool the air already or is that to cool the oil?
Can I use a 33 GAL Compressor to paint with or do I need a larger size.
Depends on the CFM and what exactly your wanting to paint
I cant seem to find anyone ecomically DIY tackling booth atmospheric humidity (RH%). I live in a very rainy area and as soon as that meter exceeds 70%, I tend to get blushings. Only solutions I have found yet to process a booth worth of air flow at 0,5-0,7m/s , is fun fare size incandescent wheels or rather expensive and power hungry professional HVAC solutions. Someone mentioned use of UV lamps on the booth intake, but I have´nt found illustrations. Is there simpler and more economical ways to go about it?
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to use a high pass turbine sprayer setup for a home garage?
Am I buying the 3/4 kit or 1” kit, description for parts says 1” but 3/4 in video?
What is that hood on your Eastwood compressor?
Hey Brian, which Quick Connect fittings do you use? Not happy with the ones I have. Please let me know if possible. Thk you 👍
Prevost
Link for air cooling system does not work and I couldn't find it through a quick amazon search either. I definitely need something like this for my compressor
What diameter is the hose in use?
Hello sir, may i know the diameter of the hose that you are using?
This is why I switched to turbine years ago. And I can paint anything Mobley if I have to.
What size airlines are you using?
Can’t wait to you get your inflatable paint booth. Been thinking about getting one but I’m waiting on your review.
What kind of piping is that
How much did all that cost please?
Do I really need this? I’m looking to start spaying liquid wrap
copper pipe is going to cool the air down about twice as well. So keep that in mind when purchasing this.
So is this all you need to do a full paint job? 27 ft of pipe and a Eastwood dryer?
