AIR SUPPLY
Never mount oil and water extractor on or near the air compressor. During compression, air temperature
is greatly increased. As the air cools down to room temperature, moisture condenses in the air line, on
its way to the spray supply system where the compressed air temperature is lowest. Drain air lines
properly. Pitch all air lines back towards the compressor so that condensed moisture will flow back into
the air receiver where it can be drained off. Each low point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such
points should be fitted with an easily accessible drain. See diagram above.
