CONT

If the air system is large enough in volume so that no air receiver is used, a condensate leg with drain valve should be placed in the piping at a joint as far from the compressor as possible and just ahead of the point at which the air is used. This leg should be kept drained by use of a drain cock, and all the piping should slope toward it.
