What are you trying to accomplish with the aftercooler?
If it is to get water/vapor out of the compressed air, consider using iron pipe
for distribution. The pipe should cool down the water vaper and allow it to
condense and flow to a low point for removal.

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Looking to buy a compressor
I thought Iâ??d update you all on my compressor search. I purchased the Kobalt
60 gallon, two-stage from Loweâ??s. It mostly came down to the weight of the
Quincy unit, not sure I could handle a nearly 500 lb compressor, and getting
anyone to help is problematic.
Now Iâ??m researching after-coolers. Iâ??ve found several ideal using a
transmission cooler. I understand that putting it between the compressor and
the tank is most effective, but Iâ??m a little hesitant to start re-plumbing my
brand new compressor. So I may install it on the outflow. Iâ??ve seen other
designs using a series of pipe loops, but space is a bit of concern, so the
transmission cooler with a fan to cool is more inline with what I can install.
Any thoughts or experience on aftercoolers would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Darrell
