Default Re: Shop air compressor lines

There is not a worst material to use for compressed air then pvc. The stuff will hold shop air pressures but it doesn't take much of an impact to rupture like a gernade. Shrapnel everywhere. I know this for a fact. Use something else. Copper,steel,aluminum,dot air line anything but pvc. There are pvc like air rated pipe but it is very expensive and uses a special glue. The stuff we use where I work is blue. Its called dura-pipe.
