OK, good stuff. I think I should be good then. I have a regulator/filter combo at 15 feet from the compressor and then 10 feet from there to the cabinet and there is another filter built-in to the cabinet at the regulator where the blast pressure is adjusted. Two filters and the long run should allow for most water and oil which is heavier to be removed. I am wondering if the first filter should be at a dip in the line (lower than the rest of the line). Since its not a permanent install yet, I can try a couple configurations.
Thanks to everyone, once again the forum proves its worth. And to think I doubted Al Gore when he invented the Internet!

In theory the line would be best if it ran downhill at 1/2" per 10'. But on an installation like this it really does not matter. As long as the filters are not installed at a high point in the line you ate fine. If it were a high pressure steam line then the slight downhill would be important.
