<VV> Air compressor distribution lines

[Kent Sullivan]

My theory about PVC is that it can take the max pressure but is not designed
for the up and down pressure changes. I am a big fan of good old black iron
(gas) pipe myself. Some guys on the Shop Talk list have also had good luck
with copper pipe. They find it easier to work with than iron. I don't think
there is much difference myself.

As for the system that was the original source of this question:

There are other companies making similar products.

 Never ever use PVC for compressed air!!! I can't remember where I heard it,
but I remember the reasoning. If it fails, it shatters and sends sharp
pieces at high velocity throughout your shop.
