you've done almost the exact same installation I've
done with my 60 gal vertical compressor, except I
skipped the upper shock bushing. Had it for 5 years
and no problems. I did find (Grainger) and automatic
water drain that works on a change in the pressure
in the tank. Also, my flex hose is the SS braided hose.
Good luck!
