Help a noob?

Hey guys,

My work got a new compressor and let me nab the old one. Unfortunately I've not a clue how to get it setup correctly. I bow down to you guys to show me the ways of the compressor master.

I plan on getting a few air tools, like a rattle gun and a (very) small blast cabinet for small car parts.

I want to order everything I need to get up and running but could do with an expert's assessment on the connections? To my untrained eye it looks like...

- 1/2" BSP outlet from compressor shut-off valve to 1/2" BSP inlet on the moisture trap / regulator? Do I just get barb fitting adapters and cheap hose?

- Weird outlet connector on the moisture trap / regulator - is it some sort of quick release connector? Do I stick with it or replace with barb and hose?

- Moisture trap will split to a few valved connections (manifold or just T pieces with valves?). The first will go direct to the blast cabinet (which will be right next to the moisture trap / regulator). The second will go to a lubricator then retractable hose and only be used for tools. Maybe a third go to another retractable hose and be used for dusting off and filling tyres?

Would really appreciate any recommendations and suggestions on what fixtures/fittings to get.

Thanks guys!!

forget the oil lubricator just 3 drops of oil in tool before use will be ok
