I have a small compressor just like that as well Ed. I might point out that while it's normal for that line to get hot during typical use, it gets EXTRA hot during the break-in procedure because the compressor is running non-stop for what is it..... 30 minutes with the tank valve wide open?
I ran mine through the break-in twice because there was quite a lot of metal sparkles that came out in the oil on the first run. I also got some on the second run but not nearly as much, so I'm glad to know it was pretty well cleaned out after the second oil change.
