the link you noted, i am a tad un=easy about when they showed diagram of were all the lines are. and not showing any sort of "drip legs" for water condensation within the pipes. an air dryer/cooler to remove water before it goes into your pipe system is advised. and the drip legs, that you can easily remove a end cap and let water out. ((when there is no pressure in system)) is advised.
air tools that use the most CFM of air, at the highest PSI. will require the most air. and you should size air line pipes/hose based on that. other words if cash allows. go for 1" main lines. and then reduce down at the quick connect box. were a short hose and air tool would connect.
you might want to run a secondary air line pipe. and hook a oiler up, before air goes into second pipe run. for tools that need regular oiling. and then have the other pipe run for air gun / paint sprayers, tire inflaters and like.
make sure what ever you use, is UV resistant. and try to keep out of the sun.
you may want to run some metal pipe off of air compressor, oilers, heaters, coolers, regulator, and like. before air goes into the distribution air piping. the metal. can with stand higher heat most likely. that may get transferred from the various things.
vibrations will be a killer for plastic hose / pipe. and you will need to take extra caution in how you run it, and how you fasten the hose to walls and ceilings or what you run hose over.
pending on setup, it might be worth while to run a "loop" clear around building and dropping down were needed for air connection vs running a different hose and teeing off were ever.
. Have any of you tried these people? Compressed Air Piping | Compressed Air Systems | Do It Yourself Compressed Air Systems Do you have any other suggestions for me. thanks a lot.
