Thread: water in air lines

Tweet

I got a major water problem with my air lines in my compressor system, it's so bad it's coming out the exhaust of every tool I use. I drained the tanks but there wasn't much in them, so it must be coming from the lines or the weird way I have it set up. where should I put drains, the lowest point of the system?

Put about a 3 foot drop in the line, put a drain at the low point, bring the line back up to the same level again. Drain it daily....

sounds good. just knew I had to do somthing when I was grinding on my visor mounts with a 3m abrasive disc to round the corners of the visor mounts and my hand was getting wet from the water coming from the rear exhaust of the die grinder. by the way I got the mounts done heres a pic
Thanks for the help.

neat idea, only problem I would have with that is room, the start of my compressor system where my 2 compressors tie in and the 2 air tanks I have tie in ( but after a T and a ball valve ), under my workbench, which is approx 36" high, and on the other side of the tanks, is the wall, and on the other side is some boxes with stuff in them, then my welder at the other end. any way I could fit it in a space like this?
