- The double wall manifolds from Prevost are the type of quality you wish all things were built. We run our drops from the main loop, install the manifolds, and plumb the scissor lift.

Oh man, Matt is going to lose sleep over the block of wood on the wall!!
Imagine putting this on a bagged car, you could send compressed air to anything even maybe a lift haha ;P Holy crap That’s Nicely Done.
Particle board!!! What is this good enough garage? Lol jk awesome setup coming together Matt. Loving the series
Sigh...dang it... I had too much going on when the drywall guy was doing the walls.
Have you seen this ? Mark MSM 4 kW screw compressor - integrated tank (200 liters) and cooling dryer.
What's your compressed air "operating strategy" going to be once completed? Are you going to leave the tank full all the time, and/or the lines full all the time? Or will you drain the whole system down every day and refill at the start of the next day, or periodically like once a week?
The whole reason for me doing an electronic drain valve on my setup is so I could leave the air tank charged all the time without worrying about moisture buildup and rust issues in the tank. That way it would be much easier to just grab the hose out of the reel and check and fill car tires, for example. Whereas if I keep my tank empty and have to fill it every time I want to use it, I won't be as likely to check my car tire pressure as often as I should. However over the years the various leaking issues have prevented the tank from staying full like I want it to. So I've been trying to get those sorted out here recently.
Of course this video series is giving me the kick in the butt I need to actually get it done. Just ordered a new pressure switch last night to replace my faulty one I currently have.
I'm going to leave the tank and lines full, but I will be disconnecting the power when I'm not there.
I believe that is the way to go Matt. Constantly draining the air lines and refilling them probably is more stress on the pipes, seals and fittings than just leaving it full. My system has been charged for 23 years - never drained, not even once! Still works great although I recently upgraded to a Jenny Air compressor.
Now see there's where I would really wonder what the inside of my tank looked like being charged for that long. Even with automatic condensate drainage and everything, I would still wonder in the back of my mind how that steel tank looks inside.
My granddaddy had an old portable compressor/tank that he never, ever drained via the bottom petcock plug for years. I think the tank was at least 1/3 full of liquid water when he passed on and I got a hold of it.
Also good point about stress on the joints and seals with constant draining and refilling. If I can ever get the stupid leaks worked out I'm going to start leaving mine charged again. Mine is plug-in so I would have to unplug to cut power, which is a bit of a pain because of where the receptacle is. I have the pressure switch with integrated on-off switch, which kind of sucks also. I'm having to replace it because it's not turning off when I flip the lever up into the off position, which is a little scary.
I just sold my 36 year old 2 HP 20 gallon Dayton Speedaire to a friend that was charge its entire life. As long as you drain it regularly, it does not seem to matter! I've also had 2 other 60 gallon units at my business that were always charged. For what it's worth, anyone I know with a compressor always keeps it charged.
I could do with compressed air tools in my garage, makes life a lot easier! Ps please paint the wood mate!
Come on bro... of course it will be painted.
Obsessed Garage Glad to hear mate, was just checking but by your standards I don’t see why I asked😂
How long of tubing did you use?
I have about 150ft of pipe in the garage.
Please paint that piece of wood!
Done!
9:45 dude
Nic D commented before seeing that haha
Matt getting over his fear of heights yet?
Ha, ha... Nope!
This no-loss drain valve is pretty slick, but it does require power. www.ecompressedair.com/drain-valves/no-loss/sensor-controlled/beko-bekomat-31-no-loss-drain-valve-115-vac.aspx
Okay and now for the first real comment... use WOOD screws in wood not drywall screws!!! J/K man I use drywall screws for almost everything in wood.

Looks ruined after all that perfect work it looks ruined with a block of wood.
It will look fine once he paints it.
I always die laughing at idiots with drywall gayrages
What would you have me do? This is a metal building. Should I put a block wall inside it?
