Lay things out on the floor and begin putting sections together one at a time.
This is IMPORTANT. You will need to think ahead and put each section together in your head first so that you can install each section easily. Otherwise you might find it nearly impossible to put two sections together.
Then once you have a section completed then attach to the wall as shown below. That jog-around is only due to the 6-foot piece I had above. I could have taken it to a hardware store and had it cut down some and re-threaded but it was just easier to just do it this way.
You can also see that I used a flexible gas range attachment to the first section. This helps minimize things coming apart when the compressor vibrates while running (and reduces noise levels as well). Here again I used plumber's tape. And I also wanted a nice slope back to the compressor so any moisture in the line there would go back. I drain the compressor often.
