    advice on sources for air regulator, filter, etc.

    Hey folks,
    Where are you getting your regulators, filters, water filters, ball valves, etc. for your compressed air lines? Borgs, TSC, Harbor Freight seem to have pretty much lower grade stuff. The customer reviews on the HF stuff is particularly bad, as are many for the Borgs, Sears, etc.
    I've made the decision to go with copper lines. I've read all the other options, which contain many good ideas, but the decision is for copper.
    If anyone has used and can recommend good online specialty sources or even bigger outfits that carry air accessories, I'd appreciate your input.
    Thanks, JS

    I went to an auto paint and supply store they carry real good air tools. Also the company I work for got a water trap regulator from Carquest that they have hooked up to their $500,000 printer. That is no mistake it did cost $500,000.

    Two sources that I have used. TP Tools has some great information on air line plumbing.

    I got my valves at Harbor Freight and they've been great. My frl units came from eBay and are industrial brands like Parker. I paid about $25 each new.
