RE: [ihc] Outfitting my shop

Jim, 

I have no wisdom on the subject for you, but am eagerly awaiting the
responses because I am considering the same project.  Not a sandblaster
yet, but plumbing my shop for air. Hopefully.

Subject: [ihc] Outfitting my shop


This christmas I'm finally taking the big step of buying a fancy
sandblasting cabinet from tptools.com and big air compressor to replace
the fisher-price thing 3hp thing I've gotten by on for years (decades?).

This should eliminate my last reason for not finishing a '68 truck I've
been rehabbing for years.

What I want to do, though, is build some sort of manifold system so I
can
put the compressor in a corner and have piping to air outlets around the
shop - a total of probably 100 feet of piping.	What do people recommend
for piping and connections and valves?	I will have to attach it to
cinder
block walls.  Do I need a condensation/dirt trap at each outlet?  Any
help
based on experience would be appreciated.
