I'm interested in the groups experiences and comments about using oil filled compressors in dry systems. The reason I broach the subject is that many coupling manufacturers include in their datasheet: "Approved by Factory Mutual Research for wet and dry (oil free air) sprinkler services up to the rated working pressure". Without an air/oil separator installed in the air supply line some of the air compressor oil is going to make it in the system. Oil filled compressors are cheaper (in some cases) than oil less; and cheaper is good practice these days as long as the rules are followed.
