Compressor set up advice

[hanvyj]

Finally got enough bits to pressurize the system to 50psi, only need a regulator on the end now. And a hose, and some paint, and a mask, and a spray gun...

Decided to give the DIY desiccant dryer a go:

Melted in a spare BSP connector in while soldering. Sadly it got a little too hot and there's a few holes I'll need to patch up, shouldn't be too hard:

Miles away though, oh well.

First time soldering. Lot of fun, even if I'm terrible at it! I'm sure it will hold together and the rest of the garage isn't pretty.

Just a question,
Why the over bridge piece ( well underbridge as it is, in the picture ) in the pipe work ?
because any dips like that, in the pipe work, when using small amounts of air will allow moisture to sit and be picked and carried as globs of water when a large amount of air is required.

Can those water filter housings take 10bar of pressure?

That bit goes over the nearly horizontal 3m bit along the top, since it's going up-down I don't forsee it gathering any water?

It's rated to 10bar max Working pressure, yep! Might have it on the other side of the regulator though. Haven't decided.
