Well the hose does go up to the reel in the ceiling and back down. The problem I have seen is that generally the water in the air does not condense on the inside of the rubber hose. So that is why I am going to run Black Pipe. That with the water trap should help to remove alot of it. I need this for my paint guns anyway. One of my buddies just runs black pipe up one wall, across the ceiling, and down the other wall, will the pipe slope back towards the compressor side, and he never gets a drop of water at the tool end. I am going to do a similar thing, but put a trap on the tool end side, and also make it so the lowest point in the slope is not the compressor.

TP-Tools has a great diagram on the recommended way to plumb compressor air lines for anyone interested.
