By eck, you're not taking any chances on pressure drops due to restrictions, are you.
To be fair I only went 2" for the main circuit because it came at the right money, I have ordered the rest of the fittings and brackets for the rest of the drop legs etc and its scary how expensive the little bits add up

Very scarey, mines going to be over £400 by the time I add filters and regulators, maybe nearest £500. Worth it though, think of all the headaches and wasted time with an I sufficient airline system.

That's the thing with something like this. It may not be a necessity, but it's sure as hell nice to have. One of those little workshop luxuries which is worth its weight.
@SmartWerks is that to allow any moisture to drop down the bottom so you can drain it off?

Yes buddy, to condense and remove as much moisture before the air hits the water filter.

SmartWerks, we are practically neighbours. I am in Little Sutton.
Out of curiosity, do you have a problem with moisture laden air? I don't have any kind of drier on my set up but never have moisture issues, whether painting, blasting etc.
Some good work on the piping Woody, have you threaded by hand?

Not major issues, and mostly self created but i need good clean dry air. Only have a 2 small comps so they have to work hard, and certainly for what I am wanting to achieve this is a big part of it. I'm basically eliminating problems as contaminated air when coating is no good.
