Hey guys,

Thanks for all the ideas (see several posts below). Here's some details I left out. The source air compressor will feed the line through a drop. The drop (underground) to the other shop will be going down hill (1/4 to 1/2 inch/ foot) all the way (about 70 to 80 feet?). It will then enter the other shop about 5 feet off the floor. In other words, where you drive out of my house basement, is a few feet above the top of the basement in the guest house. The guy who built this place had VISION!

I have a extra small compressor for the guest house basement, but wanted a way to get air from the big compressor over there once in a while.

With this kind of grade, will rusting from the inside out be a problem? T_Bone, what do you mean by risers every so often? By the way, I live in north Georgia, and we don't really have a frost line, so a foot or so should be plenty.

Mike

Hi Mike, Rusting will not be a problem as long as you put in a drain. Risers are vertical pipes from a horzontial run. Buring pipe shallow is ok if your not driving over them. If you drive over the pipe it will rub a hole after awhile if not laying in sand bed.

At the lowest point of the run, you need to install a drain cock so you drain off any collected water at that point periodically (before and after each use or once a month whichever comes first).
