[Shop-talk] Compressed Air Lines, RapidAir

[Mark Andy]

Howdy,

I know absolutely nothing about it, but it seems to be rated at 175psi _at 
70 deg_ with only 140 psi at 140 deg.  Presumably there's enough safety 
factor built in, but in my shop that stuff would see 175psi at as much as 
95 deg if it gets really hot out / due to heat from the compressed air.

Still, its attractive to me from an ease of assembly / modification 
standpoint.  Copper is what I was going to use when I finally upgraded 
from my redneck "manifold and a lot of rubber air lines" system I have 
today.  :-)
