You may find you have to lag it down to the concrete to stop it walking around on the floor, Rubber pads between the feet and the floor will help a little bit on the noise. Get rid of the tank drain and use an elbow to bring the line out to the side and put in a ball valve. The ones they use will rust up, seize so you cant open them or start leaking. If you have a sump pump or floor drain run a line from the tank drain over there, they produce lots of water.
Greg,
By "good quality hose section" are you talking about the rubber type of air hose or some other special type of hose for the vibration and noise isolation.
Thanks for the information. There's a floor drain in the laundry area so I'll do as you suggested. Are the fittings on the compressor regular pipe fittings so I can use a regular galvanized pipe elbow for routing the drain line to the floor drain?
