How to DIY Design & Build a Cheap Shop Air System

I install a TPEE hose and push connector 3/8" filtered compressed air setup after talking through how to design an effective, budget layout for your home garage or small shop that includes important water separation, dryer, air filtration and lubrication - and all the necessary fittings. The primary components come from Primefit's 26-Piece Air Push to Connect Kit, supplemented by other Primefit product (see inventory list below).

My compressed air system consists of a primary air/water separator plus desiccant bead filter before splitting three ways at a manifold. The first line goes directly to a suspended air hose reel for general duty. The second passes through another set of filters that add another air filter for more water removal, plus a regulator to decrease PSI for smaller pneumatic tools, and an oil lubricator to provide air tool oil to the line downstream. The third line only contains another air/water separator to remove as much water as possible since it is used as a painting air source.
