PEX for plumbing air?

[joshhouse]

Hello ladies and gents,

If I were to plumb air lines in my double, could I use PEX? Or is copper the only safe way to go? I tried searching for a thread with some answers (I'm sure I'm not the only one to ask this question). If someone could point me to a thread that answers this question, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

maxline, better than pex and ends up being cheaper too, plus easier, and made for the application you are trying to use it in.

I buried about 40 feet of 3/4 and I have about 75 feet of 1/2" in the building...

Thank you! I'll look into it.

Anyone else have any experience going this route?

Also, is this compressor "too small" to run air through maxline?
