Default more compressor questions

My monster compressor arrived yesterday. I admit that I haven't
totally read the manual yet.

I need a globe valve, dryer, filter, and pressure regulator. Can
anyone suggest an all-in-one unit?

I'm a bit concerned with getting the right fittings. The threading in
the air outlet looks a little more coarse than what I remember about
the threading on regular black pipe.

The manual also shows a short section of flex hose between the
compressor and the rest of the air distribution system. Is this sort
of thing at home depot? I don't remember seeing it. Maybe you have to
make this from compression fittings and a section of hose? What should
I be looking for?

Also, it's a 6 horse motor. Is a 20 amp 220 line with 12 gauge wire
enough? I'm getting the feeling that I need to go to 30 amp and fatter
wire.
