I agree anything to make maintenance less of a choir happy machine makes for a happy life.

The ball valve actually was a kit 1/4 npt street elbow stainless braided line about 8" long with a ball valve on the end. It was cheaper then buying all the brass parts and home depot or lowes didn't have any 1/4 npt or 3/8 npt over 3" annoyingly.

And compressor oil they don't stock synthetic 30w either
