Yes they would.

With a line that large, thats quite alot of CFM, you must have a very large air dryer.

are your air lines under ground? also what type of compressor did you have screw? or piston?

Increase Pressure / Capacity of compressor or go for another air dryer. Visit www.puriflair.com-----J Vanamudan

The company ABN has a very effective water separation device ("Water Separation Tube"), which you attach to the air hose. It keeps the air dry. Write to Karl Hieghl (kontakt@abn-drucklufttechnik.de) for assistance. Hope this helps.

What type of air dryer are you using? If it's a refrigerant dryer, you may need to replenish it. If it's an adsorbent dryer, you may need to dry out your adsorbent.
