[Shop-talk] Airline Piping

[Kent Sullivan]

Hi,

I looked at my unit and verified that the one I have is:

http://www.granzow.com/valves/drain/ET20M-3-8/

I am fortunate to not have to worry about neighbors hearing the noise. The
first reason is that the discharge pipe stays inside the shop: it dumps into
a floor drain. The second reason is the shop is back from the street a ways.

  Wow, I think I finally found what I was looking for all these 
years, I have read every post here on auto-drains over the last few 
years and most people just said don't get the HF one.

  Now this one I understand, I wish I could set it for 15 second 
bursts every say 8 hours since I am home shop and most of the time my 
compressor does not run that much, when I blast that is of course 
different as it runs a lot then.  But that light timer would work.

  Now the issue is this thing opening up in the middle of the night 
and waking up the neighborhood...how do you guys handle the 
noise when it opens up ?  My compressor is in my garage and I would 
hate to be near it when it opens up and lets that 175psi out at full noise.
