Eastwood Air LineKit

Has anyone used this kit? I am thinking copper lines but then I saw this. I still think copper is the way to go. I know copper prices are up but I think $200 still buys a good bit of 3/4 inch.

Yeah I know its poly pipe. I have all the walls open in the shop right now as we just finished rewiring everything so I'm thinking I will run the copper inside the walls and just have the drains and air stations showing outside the new sheetrock..

what copper?

[mljjones67]

He is saying he could just use copper instead of the Eastwood stuff for around $200 and have it hidden in the walls. I think he wanted input on the eastwood stuff.

ok i see i thought he wanted to use that kit because it had copper tubing with it. i think i would make sure all of my fitting and junction were accessable from the interior of the building though. leaks can happen over the years.

He thought like Nellie......
I am going with the copper in the walls. I am confident in my copper sweating skills.

i hate sweating copper fittings. i can ususally do it. but there is always one that will never sweat for some stupid reason. i love soft copper and flares. no bull needed to put that all together.

I think Dirty Harry said it best, " a man has got to know his limitations".

I was thinking 3/4 copper. Might as well do it right. Shopping for some regulators for the air stations.

PVC can develope a crack and explode and send spinter flying! It is not a safe option.

Copper can crack but will just "un-zip" so to speek, but not send shrapnel flying.
