- I read an article somewhere can't place it now. But the jist of the article was that PVC pipe was a very bad idea for plumming high pressure air lines. there were several reasons listed, the most com

- I would think PVC would be reasonable. But, I know that copper pipe works good, and has all those fittings & adapters available. PVC wouldn't corrode tho.. (I've got to plumb my air soon too..) _____

- Aaaugh!!! Don't say that word! (Sorry, I'm a bit touchy about compressors at the moment -- my Ingersol-Rand ate itself last night: broken connecting rod. What a bummer! And naturally the busted bit

- If you use the super-economy stuff this may be true because it is only rated at 180 or 200 psi. I don't see why it should'nt be reasonable to use schedule 40 PVC which is rated at 480 psi and only c

- That was my point in asking. Even with a rating of 180-200 psi, that is considerably higher than most home shop compressors can even come close to. My Sears unit can generate up to 125 psi and that

- Hmmm. Might it be possible for pulses from the compressor to exceed 180 psi? In other words, the pressure in the lines may AVERAGE 100-120 psi, but the individual bumps from the compressor might go s

- That would be likely if there was no tank, I'd expect the tank (20 gallon in my case) to act as a "buffer" or capacitor to smooth out any sudden pressure increases due to the action of each stroke o

- I have been planning to plumb my garage with 0.5" schedule 40 PVC. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. That stuff is rated at 600 psi, which seems adequate to me. I saw a demonstration of QA test
