[QUOTE="BobMelroe, post: 26281, member: 2763"] I wouldn't use plastic at all. It will fail at some point guaranteed. The problem isn't pressure or heat, it's fatigue. The expansion and contraction weakens the plastic over time making it become brittle. Copper is the most expensive way to go, but it's the most ideal. Very easy to add taps, repair if necessary, doesn't rust, and absorbs a lot of heat. If you move, you can take it apart and take it with you. Unfortunately, my garage is small, so I just have a hose reel mounted in the center. Quick connect on the compressor, and a regular air hose running to the reel. My compressor and valve are shut off when not in use. Wouldn't make much sense to run airlines, I only have one "open" wall but that has the overhead and entry doors on it. The other walls are occupied by machines and my 2000lb toolbox :/ [/QUOTE]
