[DeTomaso] [NPC] Air pressure regulator

 Mark,

My suggestion would be to put a central water trap on the tank outlet and individual regulator(s) where needed. My experience is that the only time I want to reduce pressure is when I use a paint gun. The blasting cabinet should have an additional water trap mounted directly to it unless it's extremely close to the central trap. If you're painting I again recommend a secondary water trap as close to the gun as possible. As long as the compressor intake is effectively filtered I see no need to add secondary filters.
