Choose or build a compressor shelter with good ventilation to keep the pump cool and dry. Compressors have two big enemies: heat and dampness - moisture. Natural weather proof ventilation or an internal fan are acceptable. Just holes in the shelter allow rain/snow inside. Screened foundation vents or roof vents work well. Valves last longer and work better if in a shelter. Gasline ball valves work good.
