Header configuration for compressed air distibution

Header configuration for compressed air distibution

(OP)
Good afternoon,

  We are planning a new install of twin 200 hp compressors and a new refrigerated drier late November. Our old system distributes the compressed air through a header located above our exsisting compressors. Does any one have any suggestion on thing to consider while designing this system. Our current set up is a 4" header with the classic tee's and ball valve for bypass. We have been looking into smart pipe (quick connect) and flexiable hose to reduce the resistance at the corners. Any help will be appreciated. each compressor will deliver 918 acfm.

thanks in advanced
