Hello,
I got a new air compressor last night (a nice big one). I've see a
lot of information on how to do plumbing form this list and
places like tptools.com, but I have a couple of questions:
1: The flex hose that should run from the compressor to the rigid plumbing:
Can this be the sort of flex hose that Home Depot, etc. sell for
water heaters, etc., or do I need a specialty item? The compressor
is a two-stage model, so it will have 175 PSI or so.
2: Will ordinary ball-style valves work OK for shutoff valves without leaking?
When the compressor instructions refer to a "globe valve", is that just
another term for a ball valve?
Thanks,
Doug Braun
