Air compressor line question

[sukchew at cox-internet.com (Chuck Blue)]

What size is the compressor and how long a run do you need to make?You
should be able to make a couple of hundred foot run with no problem.The
ground acts as a condenser so be sure and use a water trap on the line
before it goes into any tools.I would use a 1/2 inch copper pipe it will
withstand the electrolysis better than iron pipe.
