have to install a compressed air line in a workshop.
do i have to install filters etc on it or could anyone give me a wee smiple drawing of a design.
 
It all depends on what the compressed air lines are being used for and how dry you want the air.
as air is compressed you will end up with water in yer pipe so you need to have water traps, I always install my air lines at high level and then have any take offs tees facing up and the dropping down. every drop should be valved with whatever type of outlet that the customer wants, what type of compressor are yer installing and does it come with an air dryer
 
There wont be much that doesnt need a filter. Some outlets will need lubricators.
We did runs as unguided says and at the outlets fitted either filters and regulators or filter, lubricator regulator sets, that was big commercial stuff
Depends on use
