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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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.

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.
I even had good success with poly pipe. It was from necessity rather than choice. I had poly pipe and couldn't afford copper, and I had to get a job done. Been using it for a year now. All good.

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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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.
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!
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... ;)
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. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
@@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.
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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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: ruclips.net/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Still good after all these years. It’s made for that application and you want a rubber hose between the compressor and the hard line. The shaking of the compressor over time would compromise the hard line.
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.
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
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) 😁
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 🔥👍🏼🔥
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
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. 😉🙌🏼
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.
@@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!!
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.
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.
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 😉
I really enjoyed your video. Also liked the music you paired with it. I was hoping to find links to the music. How do you like your system now 4 years later?
Thank you. Really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment. The system is great hasn’t let me down even painting and blasting in the humid season. Can’t really help you with the music. It is just royalty free stock.
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 🔥👍🏼🔥
I did the air distribution in my garage using 3/4" pex but I'm going to rig up a roll of copper pipe between the compressor head and the tank and submerge it in a barrel of cooling water. (Eventually. The Honey-do list is a bit long at the moment...) Pre-made coils are available from beer and wine making supply shops, or used (beer makers often give up and sell...)
Hell yeah!!! Thank you. You wouldn’t believe the amount of grief I catch for being pumped up about this stuff. Seems these days many only want to see miserable. 🤣🙌🏼 Thank you for the sub and taking a moment to shoot me a message! Always awesome 🙌🏼🙇🏻
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.
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!
@@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 👌👌👌! Love it man! 🤝👊
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.
It would be better between the compressor and the tank. You’d keep the moisture out of the tank that way. If it would have worked here it’s exactly the way I would have done it.
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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Is a filter at the end really necessary? I would think what you are doing with the looping at the beginning is cooling, drying and filtering. Only thing I would change is your fall should have continued to your dump valve, so as the dirt is moving through your system it would get thrown toward your dump valve vs. getting thrown to the T. Still most of the dirt can't fly so it would still fall and sit at the dump valve until you open to shoot it out. So, are you catching anything in your filter? I'm redoing my system as my filter was within 3 feet of my compressor and I will get better results if it is further away. But I have debris in there and I have seen water in there after heavy use once, yet mine is auto draining on pressure drop.
The filter is probably a bit overkill but I wanted it set up to paint and the desiccant option of that filter system is attractive for painting. I will occasionally find a drop or two in the filter after really long runs on VERY humid days otherwise it is empty. It’s been a very effective system. You are likely not seeing any water in your filter because it is so close. When you send it down the line a bit it will have a better shot at doing it’s job. Good luck.
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.
I know you did this video a while back but would you be willing to put together a parts list at least for the main section? I'm sure I could figure out the rest from there. I'm finally upgrading to a 60gal. after having my current 30gal. Craftsman for over 25 years and plan on doing a bit of painting as well as I have a blast cabinet. Thanks in advance.
Congratulations on the upgrade to your system! Should be awesome for painting and blasting. As for the list, in the description I have links to many of the things I couldn’t find locally and for the copper parts I can do better than that. Here’s a link to my Instagram with them all laid out on the table before I started putting things together. instagram.com/p/Bw9xbopjwze/?igshid=wfmynago11ux Check out the posts from around that time. There is a bit more detail in some of the stills. 😉 Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment.
@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.
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. 😉
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: ruclips.net/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/видео.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
Curious, you used 2 45* and a 90 at the top and bottom of the manifolds. I've seen a number of video's and you are the only one to add an extra fitting, most of em use 90's. Any reason Why? I'm having some idea's, but, would rather have your feedback. Thanks. Nice Set-up and quality craftsmanship.
Thank you. You have it right I used two 45° and a 90°. Really was just an aesthetic choice I’m not sure air flow wise it would make a huge difference either way. Mine comes after the tank but ideally if you can get it to be between the compressor head and the tank you’ll really have it right. Because of space I couldn’t do it without it looking like a mess but that without a doubt would be a huge improvement. Keeping moisture and contaminants out of the tank will surly prolong the life of the tank.
@@HouseofChop Yea, and it really takes very little to modify and separate the two. I was thinking 90's are a inhibitor to flow whether it be water or air and maybe the 45's would flow better. That was my thought. I am going to separate mine and the pulley acts as a cooling fan on the compressor section. I am adding a Derale cooling fin (radiator basically) in front of that pulley cause of the air flow and cool the air before it reaches the dryer then back to the tank with a 5 filter system for pure clean air. Adding a bypass to a 3 filter system to preserve the 5 system for my plasma cutter. . I do have dual outputs and can separate them easily. And my shop is 40 x 60 so space is not an issue. :)
@@anonimous2451 That going to be an excellent system and you most definitely have the space. Jealous of that! As you know plasma wants the cleanest air. I see very consistent cuts in your future.
Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. If you are referring to the welding table with the holes in it yes there is a video. Check out my Rhino Cart video. It’s back a bit.
@@HouseofChop dude i love this video. watched it again cuz i wanna build something. mine is gonna use unistrut and cushion clamps...its only 2" further off the wall
I'm building mine getting ready for my new 60 gallon ingersoll rand compressor , what do think of tying all 3 lines together into 1 ball valve instead of the 3
Congratulations on the new gear. Good luck with it. The idea is to get that air to travel through all that length of line so you would have to tie them together in a way that didn’t allow the air to potentially run by sections. In the description of this video there is a link to a video where a gentleman ran the whole thing horizontally across his wall with a drip leg at the lowest point and had only one ball valve there. That could be a very strong possibility.
@@HouseofChop its just my ocd 😂 trying to make it as pretty as possible I guess I mean it's not going to kill me to open 3 valves in the same location vs just 1
@@Ricardo_Wade The price might those valves aren’t cheap 🤣🙌🏼 In all seriousness I hear you. I actually kind of find it pretty interesting to see how much moisture made it to each leg. You can really see the drop off as you open the different valves.

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.

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.

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.
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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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: ruclips.net/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/видео.htmlfeature=shared
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.
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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
How has the soft hose coming from the pump held up? Seems like the air going into it would be extremely hot.
Still good after all these years. It’s made for that application and you want a rubber hose between the compressor and the hard line. The shaking of the compressor over time would compromise the hard line.
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.
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. 🙌🏼
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.
Nice work on the whole thing.
Now you can add some automatic drain valves to it so it flushes automatically!
Really nice, clean project.
Thank you! Appreciate the comment 🙌🏼
done right, done once, beautiful work mate 👍💪
Thank you, sir! Your generous gift of the lab coat made it all possible.
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 🔥👍🏼🔥
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. 😉🙌🏼
Beautiful Work Professor Chop. Awesome design, setup, and execution.
Super appreciate it Dave. Thank you 🔥👍🏼🔥
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
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.
Love the science behind how it works!
Yes! I would suspect this from a Weld Scientist 🤣🙌🏼
The professor gag alone was worth a like and sub! Lol. Great vid....
Thank you for the sub and feedback. Seriously appreciated 🙌🏼🙇🏻
🙌🙌🙌 Thanks professor Chop!! Great video as always!!
Thank you for hopping over here and having a watch. Delighted you enjoyed it. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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.
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.
Found you today. Great video. I learned a great deal.

Good tip. Not worth losing an eye over for sure.
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.
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.
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 😉
Excellent work Phil 👌 well executed and as always, very entertaining 👍 😁
So glad you enjoyed it Darrell. I appreciate the kind words.
I really enjoyed your video. Also liked the music you paired with it. I was hoping to find links to the music. How do you like your system now 4 years later?
Thank you. Really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment. The system is great hasn’t let me down even painting and blasting in the humid season. Can’t really help you with the music. It is just royalty free stock.
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 🔥👍🏼🔥
I did the air distribution in my garage using 3/4" pex but I'm going to rig up a roll of copper pipe between the compressor head and the tank and submerge it in a barrel of cooling water. (Eventually. The Honey-do list is a bit long at the moment...)
Pre-made coils are available from beer and wine making supply shops, or used (beer makers often give up and sell...)
Love the energy. You just a new subscriber.

Cross Cut Creations Thank you! It was a fun one! 🔥👍🏼🔥
That's one way to filter without having a filter. Old steam locomotives used something similar between the compressor and brake system.
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.
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!

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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Can I put the same set up in between the compressor and tank or does it have to be after the tank?
It would be better between the compressor and the tank. You’d keep the moisture out of the tank that way. If it would have worked here it’s exactly the way I would have done it.
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. 🔥👍🏼🔥
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.
Is a filter at the end really necessary? I would think what you are doing with the looping at the beginning is cooling, drying and filtering. Only thing I would change is your fall should have continued to your dump valve, so as the dirt is moving through your system it would get thrown toward your dump valve vs. getting thrown to the T. Still most of the dirt can't fly so it would still fall and sit at the dump valve until you open to shoot it out. So, are you catching anything in your filter? I'm redoing my system as my filter was within 3 feet of my compressor and I will get better results if it is further away. But I have debris in there and I have seen water in there after heavy use once, yet mine is auto draining on pressure drop.
The filter is probably a bit overkill but I wanted it set up to paint and the desiccant option of that filter system is attractive for painting.
I will occasionally find a drop or two in the filter after really long runs on VERY humid days otherwise it is empty. It’s been a very effective system.
You are likely not seeing any water in your filter because it is so close. When you send it down the line a bit it will have a better shot at doing it’s job. Good luck.
Great video sir. You’ve got a great persona!

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.
I know you did this video a while back but would you be willing to put together a parts list at least for the main section? I'm sure I could figure out the rest from there. I'm finally upgrading to a 60gal. after having my current 30gal. Craftsman for over 25 years and plan on doing a bit of painting as well as I have a blast cabinet. Thanks in advance.
Congratulations on the upgrade to your system! Should be awesome for painting and blasting.
As for the list, in the description I have links to many of the things I couldn’t find locally and for the copper parts I can do better than that. Here’s a link to my Instagram with them all laid out on the table before I started putting things together.

@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 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. 😉
Nice. I've never brazed myself. How much did all of this run you?
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: ruclips.net/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/видео.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.

Man, nice joints
Thank you 🙌🏼
Curious, you used 2 45* and a 90 at the top and bottom of the manifolds. I've seen a number of video's and you are the only one to add an extra fitting, most of em use 90's. Any reason Why? I'm having some idea's, but, would rather have your feedback. Thanks.
Nice Set-up and quality craftsmanship.
Thank you. You have it right I used two 45° and a 90°. Really was just an aesthetic choice I’m not sure air flow wise it would make a huge difference either way.
Mine comes after the tank but ideally if you can get it to be between the compressor head and the tank you’ll really have it right. Because of space I couldn’t do it without it looking like a mess but that without a doubt would be a huge improvement. Keeping moisture and contaminants out of the tank will surly prolong the life of the tank.
@@HouseofChop Yea, and it really takes very little to modify and separate the two. I was thinking 90's are a inhibitor to flow whether it be water or air and maybe the 45's would flow better. That was my thought. I am going to separate mine and the pulley acts as a cooling fan on the compressor section. I am adding a Derale cooling fin (radiator basically) in front of that pulley cause of the air flow and cool the air before it reaches the dryer then back to the tank with a 5 filter system for pure clean air. Adding a bypass to a 3 filter system to preserve the 5 system for my plasma cutter. . I do have dual outputs and can separate them easily. And my shop is 40 x 60 so space is not an issue. :)
@@anonimous2451 That going to be an excellent system and you most definitely have the space. Jealous of that! As you know plasma wants the cleanest air. I see very consistent cuts in your future.

I'm building mine getting ready for my new 60 gallon ingersoll rand compressor , what do think of tying all 3 lines together into 1 ball valve instead of the 3
Congratulations on the new gear. Good luck with it. The idea is to get that air to travel through all that length of line so you would have to tie them together in a way that didn’t allow the air to potentially run by sections.
In the description of this video there is a link to a video where a gentleman ran the whole thing horizontally across his wall with a drip leg at the lowest point and had only one ball valve there. That could be a very strong possibility.
@@HouseofChop its just my ocd 😂 trying to make it as pretty as possible I guess I mean it's not going to kill me to open 3 valves in the same location vs just 1
@@Ricardo_Wade The price might those valves aren’t cheap 🤣🙌🏼
In all seriousness I hear you. I actually kind of find it pretty interesting to see how much moisture made it to each leg. You can really see the drop off as you open the different valves.
