Thanks for the reply Greg. Actually all the piping is in and fastened. In retrospect I should have used copper, but I've taken the following steps to remove water:

1. Compressor tank has an auto drain at the bottom that's activated by every 20 PSI fluctuation or when the compressor turns on.

2. I've sloped the main feed from the compressor. This is the where the hottest air is.

3. Built in two cooling risers that with drains at the bottom. As the air climbs the moisture will cool and separate falling to the bottom and collecting in the drain stubs which are galvanized with brass fittings.

My shop has some constraints given its size and shape that I've had to contend with.
