PVC for air, is gray better than white?

[Strouty]

April fools!

 

[nine4gmc]

Everyone knows gray is for electric, white is for water and the yellow CPVC is for air, that's what the "c" is for, compressed... get it, got it, good.

 

[Strouty]

I was thinking about using the CPVC for the unicorn blood.

 

[928'er]

In case anyone didn't get the joke, PVC for compressed air lines is a definite NO NO.

 

[Superbec]

got me !!!

NO.

It doesn't.

 

[sailah]

NO.

It doesn't.

Mine does, got it from Harbor Freight. They own Snap On now so you can get air rated CPVC from the truck too.

I prefer white for air. Makes it easier for the surgeon to find the pieces...

 

[txvwnut]

I just looked at who started the thread and quickly figured it out.

 

[bcradio]

Just finished my whole garage in it. Thanks

I used ABS because it's black and better matched my color scheme. Was that the wrong choice?

 

[Strouty]

I have found that if the color matches your walls, it gets the moisture out easier.

This is true! My copper lines against my white walls don't let any moisture out!!

 

[MacTexas]

Couldn't wait to open this one. You got me!!!!

I assembled my entire garage air system out of used green garden hoses.

Nobody was ever killed by an exploding garden hose so you're good to go.
It's that nasty black iron pipe that's the worst. When it shatters it breaks into tiny sharp deadly fragments. THAT'S why pipe bombs are made of it and not PVC.

I laughed out loud on that one

 

[cbacres]

For safety, the thin wall PVC for sprinklers should be used, smaller pieces flying through the air!

Yes, because black is out. Everything needs to be matching stainless now.
Stainless is the new black.

 

[PSYKO_Inc]

I use McDonald's straws glued together, they give 'em away for free!

 

[CNGsaves]

No, stick with the basic white PVC for airlines.

That way you can use same crew that's installing sprinkler system, to come inside the garage and glue up bunch of airlines in garage.

You do know that they're MOST Qualified to decide on your airline system !!

Damn, I can't keep up with all the new trends!: lol_hitti

 

[Richard Cranium]

Use the thin walled white pvc so it doesn't have as much mass to hit as hard as thick walled pvc.

Strouty, you are just a fool. April has nothing to do with it....Rich

 

[CoogarXR]

Just in case you want any more Harbor Freight branded PVC, I think this coupon is still good:

 

[kwschumm]

Tempered glass lines are the best. You can see how much water is in the lines and if over pressurized they burst into a million tiny pieces (much safer than giant shards).

 

[1Garageman]

Just use your garden hose!

 

[jakemac]

Screw PVC, just hook your compressor up to the copper pipes running through your basement and then you can have air instantly available at every sink in your house.

 

[mnoeltne]

My wife uses clear vinyl tubing for the air on her fish tank. I figure on using the same stuff in my new garage!

 

[ddawg16]

Ok....you suckered me in too.....I was expecting to see all the flaming posts....

 

[Ghost11]

Yeah. I was ready to read about some great new thing. Nice job

 

[Bronson]

I used electrical conduit in My shop.
Maybe not the best choice, I used 55 gallons on JB Weld to stop all the leaks.
Good to go, now!

 

[tarmy]

You guys are idiots...everybody knows that once you complete the entire garage...and don't forget that extension line into the master bath for activating the redneck juccuzzi set up...then you run the pressure up and test every length of cpvc to make sure it holds air by hitting it firmly with a 1.734 pound ball peen hammer...not a claw hammer....that would be dangerous...and stupid.

 

[Ironhorse74]

Really? Based on this thread I just installed 300 feet of pvc and pressurized it to 450 psi to test it. Matter of fact I am standing next to it right n

 

[kunkernator]

I have a couple lengths of 4" pvc plumbed in, easiest and quickest way to add volume to your air tank.
