Looks like I'll be changing out my PVC also... I have had my line break a couple of times and it was never a major catastrophe but I'm not taking anymore chances... Glad I read this...
My plan was to run 1/2" black pipe but the price of the Northern Tools kit was too good to pass up. I know what I will be doing days off!
I just threaded a bit of 1/2 and 3/4 pipe by hand not too long ago. It's gotten a LOT harder (for me). When I was doing HVAC work, this is a van I put together. It was a passenger van, I built everything, the ladder rack, bulkhead, and shelves. The vise unplugs like a hitch receiver and I could plug a pipe vise in there, with a little bracket between the side doors to support a long length.
Used to use one of these:
This is the ol' Dodge. Year after that the boss bought me a shiny new GMC 1 T van, and I "had" to build everything all over again. GMC was first rig I ever had with ABS brakes. Early 90's I forget when. I still have that little green vise, LOL
having been a plumber for 42+ yesrs, I`m not the least afraid of sch. 80 pvc as a floating system---been in forso many yrs, I can`t remember-----bobI could see running 3/4" if I would be using 2 - 3 outlets at once, but being a one man operation I can't justify the additional cost.
I am really lookin at that kit too. I like it a lot. I would want the 3/4" I think though, because I have my media blaster on that compressor and if I do any painting, it will also be done on that compressor. The small portable I have only has a 30 gallon tank and that's not enough volume. My big compressor is a 120 gallon tank.
Looks like you had that van earnin every bit of its pay, Del. Good job.
What im saying is your insurance inspector will TELL you what to run.OR they wont cover you.
