DeVillbiss is a top of ther line compressor.
If you are gonna keep it, do an oil change every 6 months, keep the airfilters clean and pliable.Make it a ritual,every day, to check the oil level and drain the tank before starting.

You asked about using copper for the line you need. Not likely to work as with the vibrations from the compressor the copper would work harden and likely fail by cracking in a fairly short time.

Hey Mike. Where in Fla are you? There are others of us in the state. Someone might be close by to lend a hand sometime. I'm in Tampa.
