Air Compressor setup in my garage help

[franken]

With plastic pipe you're gonna wind up w/ hot, wet air. What are the plans to cool it and remove water?
What diameter tube will you use? That determines initial fitting size, and you can always reduce from there.

Hmm, their website says the ID of the RapidAir tube is .375". http://www.rapidairproducts.com/flowrate.asp which seems off since pipe is usually measured by ID.

Says right there (but most folks don't think about it.) Tube. Tube is measured in O.D., pipe is I.D. (least that's what the boilermakers and pipefitters taught me.)

Most of what I use for line size is 3/8" hose and 1/4" fittings, seems to be the most common for replacement parts, extra hose... I also have a 1/4" line at work that gets used as a "whip", very flexible and easy to move around. That line will slow down my 1/2" gun, just pull the 3/8" line out and all is good.
Blast cabinet, don't know about a filter, but I would suggest some sort of water separator.

I don't have a dedicated system, hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.
