My tool room has had PVC air lines for 7 years. Look at the pressure ratings. More than you will ever see in an air system.
@ashmuckinagarage83217 жыл бұрын
PVC is not a problem for air lines except in certain environments PVC gets brittle over time as the oils leave the pipe.. It will then shatter or burst at the weak point usually a fitting screwed into the pipe to accept a hose . Use at least SCH 40 or heavier. Where I live I can take a piece of 3/4 PVC that's over 5 years old and it will shatter when being cut with a PVC cutter unless you use a saw. If it's starting to look dull and faded it's getting old. I have a friend who has sch 40 PVC in his shop for over 20 years... NO PROBLEM. He painted it and it's still working and he does bodywork. But just be aware.

Just saw a couple of your videos for the first time. I made a desiccant drier for my compressor with galvanized steel pipe. It isn't as snazzy as yours but it does the job. I don't want to be That Guy but it really is fairly dangerous to make this out of PVC. Ignoring anything else, PVC is far more likely to break if, say, something falls on it. Combine that with the pressure behind it and it gets ugly. You never see PVC being used for air lines in industry for good reason(s). Anyway, you definitely have what we in the industry call "madd skillz" when it comes to building things, and I think it's awesome that you build stuff. You remind me of me, though you're way ahead of me on when you started welding. I used activated alumina for my desiccant. It's cheaper and, IIRC, a bit more effective, and it doesn't break apart when it gets really wet. It doesn't have the indicator but I personally prefer that, as the cobalt in the that is nasty stuff.

You could make a 3/4 inch plywood frame around the outside (top, sides, NO bottom) and a 3/4 inch plywood door on hinges to open when you want to work on it or change desiccant. If it were to blow it would blow all the chips out the bottom onto the floor not causing anyone any injury (or hardly any).

@Chairman of the Board I imagine that is true. but schedule 80 PVC has a max working pressure of 340 psi - that would be a 300% over rated.

Fantastic video, great knowledge base. In order to minimise the safety issues with using pvc piping i would recommend using 1 or 2 pressure relief valves rated at 8 bar (100psi) (1 at the entrance and one at the exit). This is within the operating pressure according to ASTM D1785 for all your pipe tube diameters. The problem with PVC and in fact anything brittle is micro fracturing initiated by pressure cycling. So try to keep the pressure constant in the desiccant dryer you built and insert the pressure relief valves. Also don't use higher pressure than what is required for your project. 6-7 bar is more than enough. Again well done for the great explanation. I hope you are teaching this in school/university setting. A final word if the budget allows it its better to use metallic piping for this project it will literally be full proof for compressor use.

Make a hanger for the key and develop the habit of always putting it there. Happy DIYing and stay safe!

My second attempt has lead me to a simple discovery. This time, I was able to properly size and seat the 3/4" inlet pipe and the 1/2" outlet pipe, but had not yet reached the step of gluing in the elbows. After staring at the 2" Tees for a bit, I considered rearranging them so the inlet and outlet stab out of the tops rather than the sides making the entire assembly resemble the letter "H". Further consideration of this lead me to find that a simple straight coupler, or not even cutting either of the inner pipes would make for a much more forgiving and simple assembly, so I will acquire the other parts I need and finish my build, then share my dryer once complete on a forum with photos and link back to this video both ways to pay my respect to Hannah for originally sharing such a great idea with us. I'm stoked and can't wait to dry some air!

I forgot to give you a tip when using slip-joint tools. These tools work best when used in the same way a pipe-wrench is used. Apply the top of the tool so that the open side is pointed away from the direction of travel and the bottom part of the tool open side points toward the direction of travel. This applies to adjustable wrenches as well. This permits the work to be done more easily, prevents rounding of the fastener heads and prevents breakage of the tools. When fastening bolts and nuts; always turn the nut if possible. :-)

I really liked the how it works part of the vid. Hannah, you are correct in getting rid of the humidity to help control sand clumping and stopping up your blaster. However the real problem is that you are using sand. Some other medias don't have this problem. I usually spread the sand onto a tarp and leave in the sun to dry, then screen out the junk before using. If I am recycling the sand, I also screen out the fines into another bucket to use for finer sand. I assume that you are going to paint your VW and sand blasting cases problems here also. Fine dust buildup in crevices is common to all types of blasting and can cause the paint not to stick. If you get out your magnifying glass and closely examine the blasted surface you will see tiny grains of sand actually embedded in the metal Some say that this is silicon and will cause problems with some paints. Cure is to use sandpaper after blasting to knock these off. Now for the real problem with sand. I started to say this on one of the other videos, but I didn't. Sand dust causes silicosis. Irreversible and ultimately deadly. Google it. Some other medias don't. Blasting cabinets solve the problem by containing the dust. I assume that you are using a respirator under your hood The hood protects your eyes and skin but does nothing for your lungs. And it is hot. A solution that i like a lot better and that can also be used while welding, painting, or any time you need it, is outside positive air pressure. It involves an oil free air pump/fan, a long flexible hose fitted to your hood and set the pump some where where there is clean air. I set mine inside by the air conditioner/heater. I droop the hose down from the ceiling in the work area so it is out of my way. The positive pressure in the hood keeps the dust out, provides a cooling breeze across your head, and keeps the window from fogging. I tried to make a homemade one from 4" flex duct and a 4" fan but it didn't work too well and was cumbersome. So I bought one from ebay with a 120v tubine type fan and 100' of 3/4" light weight flex tubing and quick disconnect hood connectors. Works good but the fan is noisy in the house, so a remote switch to turn on and off is nice. About $250 10 years ago, $400 now, but you can easily spend 10 times that on better systems. I know its expensive, but worth it to my lungs and comfort. Can also be used to blow up air mattresses, boats, and beach toys quickly. Works pretty good for light dusting as well, not as good as an air line. Scuba compressor would work if you have one. This would be a good DIY project for you. You could run 1" pvc out to your work area/areas and then quick disconnect adaptors to your flex hose Google "positive pressure respirator system" Here is one similar to my cheap one www.ebay.com/bhp/supplied-air-respirator

My build of your idea is near complete, just have to wait for the clear sch. 40 to arrive in the mail. Some things I learned are as follows; 1) Definitely build each of the sides first before putting anything else together. I made the mistake of joining the 2 Tees together and building down to the Wye on the desiccant side before adding in the inner lines. Now I have to cut that back off, build the remaining 1/2" inners, then rejoin the 2" with a coupler to save the parts. 2) For those (like me) that don't have a lathe, I used a die grinder attachment on my little HF Dremel rotary tool to grind out the stops in the reducer caps. I also learned that the tapers needed to be sanded out, so I used plumber's abrasive mesh to gradually sand out the taper enough that I could work the respective pipes through, then I buffed the sanded surfaces smooth with the rotary tool's buffing pad. I think overall, this project will turn out good and function properly, so long as I don't get the PSI over 140, as that is Sch. 40 rated PSI. I'll let y'all know how things turn out for me, and THANK YOU Hannah for sharing this to your channel!!!

I think I discovered another mistake on my part, one that may be a costly learning experience, but I am coming to gain a deeper understanding of the difference between Schedule 40 and DWV PVC pipe. I believe it was Keith that questioned Hannah's choice to use a Tee and Elbow combo over use of a Wye, so I took it upon myself to blindly purchase the Wye. Now I come to find out DWV fittings aren't rated for PSI the way Schedule 40 is, if there is even a PSI rating. Further searching left me hard pressed to locate Sch 40 Wyes from Lowes or Home D. I found Sch 40 wyes on pvcfittingsonline.com for about $11, but that's much more than an elbow/tee combo from the big box stores. Also, many of my other parts are DWV (grrrrrrr). Lesson learned! Hannah, please share any insights you have regarding the difference b/c I still can't find much info about DWV aside from their obvious low pressure applications. TYIA!

@MichaelJeffers757 жыл бұрын
I found and used the Wye that was pressure rated and to be honest, I wish I used the 90° elbow. The 45° just doesn't allow for quick pouring the way a 90° would. The H layout works good and was way easier to build as no elbows were used internally. If I build another, I will be looking to use a + on the desiccant side to further simplify the design. My water trap doesn't collect any water, but I think I drilled too many holes in the 3/4" inlet pipe, but the desiccant side does collect a lot of water as I had to bake the desiccant twice already. The $15 desiccant I found in the art store for flower drying does have roughly 5-10% indicating beads, so it works the same as the all blue.

you explain everything very clearly, normally the "pizzazz" moments are distracting when people are doing DIY vids on youtube, but yours seemed well timed and gave me a second to analyze, letting me take it in so i could follow. keep up the videos!

2" Schedule 40 PVC is rated to 280psi max working pressure. You just need to make sure that you have excellent glue joints. Been using this for years on a 150psi compressor with no issues. Just keep the assembly out of direct sunlight since PVC is not UV resistant.

We've used Schedule 40, thick wall pvc at the top of our 3000 sq. ft. shop with drop lines for 15 years with no issues.

I see a lot of comments at how dangerous this is. Well I worked for years in a machine shop where all the air lines were pvc. Sometimes they would break, but never exploded. They just cracked and bled off air. I also have pvc lines in my shop for yesrs. Never had an issue. Perfectly safe.

Great project you are one very clever young lady. Here is something you may find useful, perhaps an upgrade to your air dryer. On the water collecting side, you can add a water Sprinkling Valve or a Water Pressure Relay Switch, the actual name escapes me at the moment to release the water once full. What the Switch or Relay will do is open when there is too much water and empty into a drain or possible some sort of water collection to be used in the Garden or where ever. That way you won't have to stop what you are doing as the Switch or Relay will do the work for you, automatically, and you can continue to work. How to wire it, I will let you figure out as I wish to challenge you here. Also be sure to add a manual switch to open and release the water after you're done for the day. There is a Water Sprinkling Switch that is used to allow water to pass for hydrating your yard and it works off of a solenoid. It might just adapt to your current Drain Plug fitting too. Again I forget what it's called but as I remember there are a few to choose from and I am sure you will get what ever is best for your setup. You can use another Arduino or figure out a way to add some sort of pressure switch or maybe have it empty by timer or something like that. I know they make sensors that detect water as well. Something you may want to adapt too is learning how to drill and tap plastic pipe. Rather than use adapters and reducers, you may be able to get away with end caps and fittings or drilling a tapping the pipe itself to add fittings and sensors and what not. A clever young lady like you will figure this out easily. I look forward to seeing what you come up with...

Cute kid. Have never seen her before. That setup looks dangerous. That blasting medium is going to abraid the inside of that PVC and make the wall thin over time. That is, if I am looking at what she is doing correctly. Hope the girl doesn't get hurt before she grows up and figures it all out. We need young women to have a sense of physical accomplishment in this world along with young men. Her crush on Mr. Hemsworth is endearing, too.

Girl, you rock. You are going to humble every guy you encounter. I'm going to guess that one or both your parents are engineers and if you are not headed in that direction you should be. You all ready no more and better understand things that a lot of engineers I work with don't. Engineering needs more women .

I live in the north east of the usa and in the winter it gets cold well below freezing it might not be an issue in australia it never got that cold when i was there

Anything that contains liquid water is going to weaken if that water is allowed to freeze. You'd need to empty the liquid water after each use in the winter.

That's exactly what I was worried about but when she said she was using pieces that where pressure rated thought it would be okay but then I don't know about the smaller fitting's and stuff I would not personally ever put plastic under air pressure.
@fastlanehobbies75806 жыл бұрын
Joey Brewer PVC is used under air pressure all the time. I had it in my former shop that sublet from a 20k sq ft wood working facility who ran a 25hp compressor through it and it worked fantastic. You do have to be careful not to impact it in any way while under pressure we had a fork lift get too close and it does explode when once it’s cracked. I wouldn’t call the pieces sharp but they were certainly flying everywhere. Ultimately it comes down to common sense use.

Whoa! How old are you? I tried to mold my daughter to be just like you in the garage lol Needless to say she hated cars, Restoring them or anything to do with them but driving them. I tried making her but that didn't turn out too well. She is going to be a nurse now in college and I couldn't be more proud. BUT I just had a little girl again 10 days ago so I have another chance to have my little Tom Boy again!! I subscribed so can actually be schooled by your videos on ways to sandblast my classic. Go figure! I'm extremely impressed on your knowledge around the garage and tools. GREAT JOB ON YOUR VIDEOS!!! PS my first car was a 1973 Super Beetle. Loved it! Miss it!
