muledeerarea33? Report post Posted July 25, 2017 The shop I'm in now is 40+ years old, original air plumbing is copper and the newer/repaired parts are galvanized. During monsoons the galvanized pipe sweats, rusts, and blows metal flakes. Our drier is a two stage devilbiss made for paint booths but the compressor is old. Whatever you use make sure you install a decent drier and drain the lines and the compressor regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having refrigerated dryer will definitely keep the moisture down to a minimum and a good coalescing filter set up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Do not use PVC! It is not rated for air. Exploding PVC will is not a nice thing to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
