Compressed Air Piping

Laughing at this subject still going around about what people think is best. I aint saying mine is best , but I put 3/4'' shedule 80 pvc in about 2 compressors ago, no problems. Shedule 80 was designed for way more pressure than any of ur compressors will put out !
Easy to come up with and easy and fast to install , can be modified easier than about anything else, with exception of the new air poly systems. Make stationary, never in sunlight , vibration connection at compressor ,no problems------
even added a pex line "for speed" to the other side of garage. If I ever have to redo it , it will all be PEX.

I've used schedule 80 pvc in the past too, and it's still in the rafters in my basement. PVC is rated for water pressure, which is a lot different than air pressure. I've been lucky, just like you have...but I'm at the age that pushing my luck just ain't worth it no more. I wouldn't be afraid of Pex pipe for air lines, but I would use the brass fittings. Shark Bite fittings cost out the ying yang!
