Anyone have a suggestion for metal (brass/stainless/aluminum) fittings that are compatible with rapid air 3/4 hardpipe?

Piping is powder coated aluminum tube. I have not yet confirmed the OD of their three-quarter inch tubing.

I’m running a compressed air drop into a space that does not allow plastic fittings like those typically used with the rapid air kit

I tried calling rapid air, but was told all fittings are proprietary which I seriously doubt

Anyone know of an alternative for elbows, T fittings and threaded feelings?

Prevost has fittings for their system. Therapy are aluminum with tightening collar. Very cool system.

I went with Prevost for my system. It was really easy to setup by myself, and I haven't had any issues or leaks at all.

Run the Rapidair as close as you can, then convert to copper of black iron. they do have adapter fittings.

Proprietary parts are a good reason to stay with off the shelf copper or black iron pipe, I did my shop in copper & need to finish the back room so don't have a hose all over everything to the bead blast cabinet.
