Hi all,
Getting ready to prime some internal bits, and it looks like I'm going to need to install some permanent compressed air lines around the shop. My experience with compressed air installation consists of putting the compressor in a good spot and hooking up hoses to it, but I need to make it a little more refined than that, I think.
I have a 4-way regulator, a filter, an inline oiler, and a hose reserved explicitly for painting/priming, but now I need to figure out the best way to set everything up. I know the oiler and the paint hose need to be on two
different lines and there should probably be a filter on both oil and oil-free. Is there special steel tubing, flaring tools and flared fittings for this? Can anybody point me to a howto? Can I get the parts at Home Depot/Lowes,
or do I need to go someplace that specializes in automotive repair supplies?
thanks,
-John
