I am unaware of any requirement to pipe it to the riser. I would pipe it in, above the drum drip so you still have drainage. Many properties have remote air compresspea' I would just place a sign on the riser indicating where the air is fed from.

Inside of a recycling building at a waste facility we have a 6" dry system. The air compressor is a riser mount single piston that takes 3 hours and 17 minutes to fill the system back up after trip. The customer has a 50 gallon vertical on the opposite end of the building that has 1 airhose hooked up to it used for tires. The comppressor is hardly ever used and is bolted to the floor and hard wired on a dedicated circuit. Next to the compressor is a low point drum drip. If a UL listed air maintenance device is installed can that compressor be tied into the system even though it is at the back of the system. I cant find anything that says you cant do this but Im not sure im looking in the right spot. The suggestion was made to install a t above the top valve of the drum drip. Im stumped.
