2) this is for any compressor... rubber hose retains heat, so water vapor won't condense in the air lines as quickly (bad). if you are able to run metal pipe (preferably galvanized) to a couple places in the shop, this will help water vapor condense out. also, run the pipe as high as you can to assist condensation/gravity. the next step would be a coalescing filter to remove condensed water. this isn't necessary initially, but maybe something to consider down the line.

actually galvanized is not recommended as the galvanizing can, in some instances, come off the pipe on the inside & clog separators & regulators. do not use plastic (PVC) either. black pipe is recommended.
