air compressor help

Guys,

I have a Craftsman air compressor (33 gallon). How do I go about attaching an frl unit? Do you recommend getting a modular unit with altogether or separate. Any decent websites showing layouts?

I'd leave off the lubricator unless you want oil in your lines. Not good when you're cleaning or painting.

what's a good setup for painting? I never use air tools, but I use the compressor for odd jobs. Like to do a bit of painting with it. I know I need a filter; what else is needed?

if you are serious about painting you need a dry desicate air dryer and good hard lines with water traps .

DRAIN THE TANKS BOTTOM DRAIN PLUG DALEY. BEST TO INSTALL A SIMPLE TWIST ON/OFF BRASS VALUE WITH A HOSE ATTACHED TO EXIT WATER TO A SAFE PLACE. KEEP COMP. OUT OF A DUSTY OR YOUR PAINTING AREA. CHECK FILTER WEEKLY IF USING HEAVELY, AND USE REQUIRED OIL, WITH CHANGES. I USE A MADEUP SYSTEM THAT I CAN TAKE WITH ME TO OTHER COMP. FOR THE FILTERS AND WATER SEPT. ATTACH WITH YOUR QUICK DISCONNECT FITTINGS. BEST TO USE HVLP SPRAY GUNS WITH YOUR LIMITED AIR SUPPLY..........
