finally ran air lines in the man cave
I have been planning on running air lines in the garage for a while now but other projects put this on the back burner. This weekend it was time. Right or wrong I decided to use 1/2 inch SCHD. 40 CPVC pipe. I have a Ingersol Rand 5 hp 2 stage compressor with a 60 gallon tank. I have 5 drops with quick disconnects. One in the center of the work bench. Two on the sides of the garage. One going to the outside on the front of the garage and finally one going into a 3rd bay garage. Today I picked up ball valves that I will install at the bottom of each drop that will allow me to drain moisture. At the feed point from the compressor is an industrial filter/regulator which I hope will keep moisture to a minimum. I know some folks don't like CPVC because it can burst when cold but in Georgia it doesn't get that cold. The way I planned it I can now easily have air anywhere in the shop including outdoors. I love my man cave  .
