Run some water through it?
This is a great thread, very timely as my next workshop improvement is a proper airline with dryer. I won a brand new norgren regulator and oiler on eBay years ago never installed it. Last time I sprayed I had terrible problems with the finnish which I’m putting partly down to the air quality (partly).

I'm planning the installation of my own compressor and am thinking about some thing like this. Could it be simplified by having the tubes slightly downwards off the horizontal towards the usage end? The wall is over 5m long so I might not need to double back.
It could be done with one valve that way. That I already have just the one valve may have played a part in this design.

Gave this some use today and seems to be working well, no moisture in the inline filter at the gun, less water at each ball valve on the cooler and hardly any in the filter regulator on the wall.

Mt two cents worth. Again depending on the amount of usage. People seem to think they can whip up some pipe , put it on the wall or in a bucket of cold water and no more moisture in the air lines. If you have a serious job (that also varies from person to person what is a serious job) to do, along with the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) all these 'fixes' will leave you lacking. You can also, talk yourself into anything (famous Australian saying) 'she'll be right mate' springs to mind
. There are ways of doing it right and let's not forget water / moisture is only the first thing. Those of us that do more of this blasting thing, know, we try to advise and help. I am not saying that it can't work, what I am saying is that it has limitations
Looks good, I have a similar setup that traps the water well - I've not had any issues with paint defects.
Only criticism is perhaps you should secure the blue flexible line a bit securely to the wall, as it could stress where the blue hose and copper connects.
Also release the valves under pressure for maxiumum expel of moisture.

Thats the thing, it probably wont get a lot of use so it isnt worth going much further than knocking up a cheap solution.Mt two cents worth. Again depending on the amount of usage.
