compressed air piping

We did our garage in 1/2" copper and it is really out of the way and quite nice. Make sure you have drains as wel as a dryer/regulator.

agreed.. so what is the harm in using pvc inside?

I was told by a cat over at Portland Air that PVC reacts with the acids made by compressing air.

Dunno if that is the truth, but the cheap bastard that ran PVC across the street from me learned the hard way...

That's the benefit of East County. You can do whatever you want in your driveway/garage and your neigbors won't care.

I think the reason to avoid PVC is that when it is under pressure, if something hits it, it will fracture and send shrapnel flying. I used PVC for a long stretch from one shop to another underground. It has held up fine.

True story. I had a bunch of books I had to study out of when I got my present job. In one of them it had a topic on this. Oils from compressors migrate and with the moisture it makes an acidic compound.
