I know this has been beaten to death on this list but what the heck. I need to run air lines in my new garage. I figure I have several choices: 1) Black iron pipe. 2) Copper lines 3) PVC lines 4) Som

I know a lot of folk use PVC piping for air, and it does work. It's also the easiest piping to set up. But I've got older PVC pipe outside, and it's become quite brittle now after just a few years. A

I'm still looking into this for my shop, but what I found is that the black pipe is suck a cheaper, safer solution that the others don't make sense. Even if you rent a threading machine, the cost is

I did this a couple of years ago, and went with the black pipe option. I don't have a pipe threading machine either- but the local Home Depot has so many different pre-threaded lengths that I was abl

Black pipe seems to be the option that makes the most sense to me too. And a big pipe threading kit is cheap: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38438 (and that's not o

I have one of these, and it works OK for 1/2" pipe, of OK for 3/4" pipe, and I've never tried anything bigger. Don't forget you also need a big vise with the proper jaws to hold the pipe. The threads

I might use Sch40 PVC for a line I'd set up for temporary use, but not for anything I was going to leave in place for months or years. Sch80 PVC is a whole lot stronger, but more expensive than any

Yeah, it's very highly dependent on who's working that day, and how much else they've got going on. I ended up getting most of the gas pipe for our house at OSH. It was easier to have the guy inside

I have found OSH to be a much better place to shop than the Home Despot. Prices aren't much more (if at all) and less hassle. Usually the people are more helpful. AND while HD has lots of stuff, they
