I run the two tanks in line. Compressors feed both, valves tank pressure gauge, and horn are fed direct from the tanks. I also have an emergency feed line to the tanks from a Schrader valve in the bumper in case of compressor failure.

I’m not a fan of water traps, your tank is the water trap. Drain your tank. Also where do you plan on placing your valves? If you’re in a northern state I would suggest under the hood or in the cab.

There is a stupid basic drawing and a fitting list, you can add from there.
Less is more in my eyes. Please only use liquid Teflon.
Also instead connecting the valves to a T you can connect to a cross and use the extra port and install a 1/2 to 1/4 bushing and run the air line to the gauge

Also here is another list

I don't run traps, and I drain the tanks regularly. After driving semis for years I'm surprised how little water there is.
I've heard the same thing about valves if you're gonna drive it in the cold. I don't do that often, so it's never been a problem for me.
