That's what I did for the lead I use to paint, but I added about a 12" vertical section with a lever valve to drain it, below a T fitting so the paint gun comes off a horizontal above the drain area.

Water has to be pretty darn smart to make it to my gun.
 
Cleaning out the garage some and listing some 65 Belvedere and 67 satellite parts here
 
Unfortunately I went to the credit union last Friday and the obnoxious woman behind me in line who was talking so loud on her cell phone in another language that it was distracting the tellers who were trying to count money was coughing hacking,and blowing her nose while carrying on. She breathed all over me and after I finished working on my Charger fender,I ended up sick in bed all night and I am still dealing with it at work today!

All my lines have a gradual fall back to the compressor and a ball valve to dump water at the lowest point just below the inlet to my compressor. Every house has had this set up, some with sixty feet between each other. I start by laying out my drops and work my way back to my compressor, it being the lowest. This and my condo were the shortest I have done. I only used sixty feet of copper for this job, total. I use to have two air dryer setups, one at each end, those days are over and this is all I need now. The regulator in my picture, with this setup, is the system I used. You can see I deleted the air dryer and ball valve. The runs are to short now to worry about a ball valve, which is at the compressor. I had an inline dryer and oiler years ago, that quick connected for air tools, also not needed now. The older I get, the fewer my needs. I use electric tools more now, air is for small stuff like filling up tires and a few small brad nailers when I tinker with some wood projects. I'm just that easy!!!

I never get water here in super humid FL.

Big blue is comp tank.
Small blue rectangle- traditional bowl filter
Blue lines- lever valve
Black rectangle- female connector
Red rectangle- regulator- the one on the tank regulates only the last connection on that line.
I also have a silica trap on the paint gun line, after the connector.

I need to put another extension and lever trap at the bottom of the line from the tank, but so far, the bowl gets most of it, and the more critical lines have all that pipe to fight any moisture travel.
 
My wife and daughter-in-law decorated the house and put the tree up yesterday. I put up "my" ornaments last. They did the living room, entryway, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Outside lights go up today.

Oh, we have four trees of various sizes!

Now that I've got time. One more thing almost off the tadoo list, before I can seriously get into cars for the Winter. Another couple of hours work after the sealer has dried I can then tack the skirt to the wall and splash in my tub.

a little help from the laser. skylight doors are working great just enough clearance, duty cycled the inline actuators at least 100 times each seems to be holding up well so far. will triple coat the beams and butt joints, for added reasurance of paint coverage, will be using a semi-gloss paint, a drywallers worst enemy.
 
Ok ok STOP right there Wayne!
I have to go to work in a few minutes.
I DO NOT want that image in my head for the night! :rofl:
