I have to agree with John. My system will leak down in a day. That was fine, it wasn't worth my time to find and stop the leaks. When I turn on my compressor, then I drag out my air hoses and hook th

Best way to say it is that my air system is a bunch of leaks connected together by some pipes. This talk sure makes me happy I went with copper as the only leaks I have are at the quick disconnect fi

I also went with copper (although my system is a much smaller scale than other folks have). My only leak is a crappy air drier that sometimes vents on its own. Tim ___________________________________

I'll also add a third vote for copper. My leaks are in the plumbing on the tank itself ... the auto drain or ??? ... which I have not been able to track down. But the rest of the system is tight righ

Good quality pipe threading and fixtures. There are lots of shitty pipe threading machines and dies around. If the tapers don't match, the pipe isn't liable to seal. Rector seal helps, too. -- David

I think it misses another case, perhaps more important, which is where the tank is hot while the compressor is working and then cools at the end of the work day. Water will condense inside the tank

I had one of these on my system for about six months. Eventually scale and crap built up on the guts of the dump valve and it started leaking, and I took it off. Most of the parts are sitting in a ca

Yes, I do, anyway. I pulled the anode out of my 75 gallon tank when it was five years old and it only had a few inches of magnesium left at the bottom of the rod. Since it is in a closet, I got a se
