Weekend Project

[22T]

Heres some pics of last weekends project, copper air line install.
This is my manifold set up where I can isolate the compressor from the rest of the system and also keep an eye on the pressures.The air comes from the compressor outside through the wall behind the chrome cover in the pic.

The rest of the pics are the piping through out the shop. I still have to get the air couplers and pressurize the whole system.

Hey 22T.........if you don't mind someone asking.....ballpark price to run all of that? I'd like to run copper around mine this summer, and I have noticed that prices have come down considerably on some things. Nice job BTW!!!!

Right about $200-220, I used 9 lenghts of 3/4" L copper at $13 bucks each(3/4" black pipe was the same price at HD and Lowes),The ball valves,elbows,
tees, and split ring hangers took up the rest.Then like someone else on this board did, I scotch brited the whole system and sprayed it with clear.
