[Shop-talk] Airline Piping

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

I don't recall the brand that I have on my upright 5hp compressor, but
I know that I bought it from Grainger
http://www.grainger.com/
and it works on pressure differential.  When the pressure changes, it
dumps.  When the unit is idle, there's no activation of the bottom
water dump.  Had it for 6+ years with no problems.  However, when
you're in the shop and everything is quiet....and then it "burps"....it 
can
grab your attention!
Enjoy
