Air Piping - Inney or Outey?

[hamholfarm]

Hello all,

I'm almost finished wiring up the new shop. I have not yet put up the insulation. I will be piping the shop for air, including making long "legs" to help the water condensate and be able to drain it off.

My question - inney or outey - should I bury the pipes in the wall while I can, or do you always want the piping on the outside of the wall?

I thank you in advance for all responses, please include why inney or outey.

Thank you,

Chip

If you are confident in your piping skills and want a clean appearance, then run it inside the wall. The downside is obvious - repairs and alterations will be a chore. I guess it depends on what your space is going to serve as - a shop or a showcase.
