    The fittings work awesome. They are a breeze to install and when we finally started the compresor there were no leaks at all. I would highly recomend them to anyone.

    copper air lines

    I did a search and could not find what I was looking for. Home Depot has two different 3/4 copper pipe. Which one do I want? I assume one is thicker or stronger than the other and I want to get the right one. But I don't want to just waste money. Any suggestions????????????
