Shop air for coach
#1

i recently got my rapidaire fast pipe system and am laying it out for the shop.  

i will be putting a port for the newell to be on shop air.  

the question is this......should i put a check valve inline to the newell so if a massive air leak happens in the newell that the shop air doesnt deplete and run for however long i am out of the shop?

thanks

How would a check valve to the Newell protect the shop compressor? Wouldn't it just prevent air from flowing from the Newell to the shop compressor?

Isn't there a device for propane systems that shuts off flow in case of large leaks?
Maybe something like that would work.

Just use a manual ball valve & shut off air from compressor to Newell when you are going to be out of the shop for extended times.

Just turn off the compressor, then you'll only loose a tank of air...

I installed a Heavy Duty light switch right in the box where my shop light switches are. When I leave the shop I can shut the compressor off when I shut the lights off.

Tom: why would a massive air leak in the coach be much more likely than a similar size leak elsewhere in your shop air system?
