In this episode we install the tubing that will carry our compressed air from our compressors to multiple
distribution points in the shop. We go over how to cut it, how to install the fittings, etc.

I replaced my entire house with pex 6yrs ago. It's wonderful to work with. I've been very pleased with the results. I bought the expensive crimp tool. But I've since been paid well to replumb several campers since.

It’s exceedingly dangerous when it fails. Yours hasn’t failed yet. It creates razor like shards of shrapnel. That’s why we don’t use it for commercial fireworks mortars. Instead we use HDPE, high density polyethylene. It doesn’t create shrapnel, just bursts open.
@Ben28782

The fact that the lines are 15 years old is what’s going to become the problem. The oils from compressed air degrade PVC over time which is what leads to inevitable failure. Hopefully nobody is standing near the pipe when it bursts. And it will eventually burst. It’s not a question of if, but rather when.

One of the dangers of PEX is that if it is not well secured and in the open it can whip around worst that Indiana Jones if a connection blows open. I've used PEX in air systems in places where the PEX is threaded through holes drilled in the studs and covered with sheetrock or plywood. Otherwise PEX is great. For outlets, you can get brass drop ear elbows with PEX connections.

@Haslip Cycle Works - PVC pipe is unsuitable for carrying compressed gases, because when it fails, it tends to shatter and produce deadly shrapnel. This is not a problem with water at the same pressure, because water is incompressible and when a PVC water pipe fails, the pressure is instantly relieved, so there is no available energy to propel shrapnel. My brother ran compressed air through SCH40 PVC at about 120 psi in his business, but when the building inspector saw it, he was forced to replace it with galvanized iron for the aforementioned reason.

@Haslip Cycle Works - PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is not be used where the tubing will be exposed to daylight and maybe not even where it will be continuously exposed to low level UV leakage from fluorescent lamps. PEX suppliers typically specify that the tubing shall not be exposed to daylight on a construction site for more than 30 days to prevent embrittlement. It would be great if PEX were available in a black, UV-resistant form for projects such as this where it is mounted in exposed locations, but I've never seen it. I'm only aware of it being supplied in red, blue and natural/white.

What causes a water separator to not pickup water? Does the hose need to have a straight even shot to the separator? I did have it coiled up before the separator, then I moved and now it's got a big dip in one part of the line. I wonder if the water just stays in the hose. I know it stays in the tank cause I drain a ton out all the time.

Pex is probably one the best ways to run any form of plumbing now a days bc it's cheap and reliable. The only thing you have to watch out for is using the correct PEX for your project. Generally PEX A(Uponor) is gonna be the best one of all 3. Some of the major benefits of Uponor is the fact that it doesn't crack in harsh weather, it always tries to go back to the original shape(good for winters), and it's generally rated for up to 500 psi. But if you do use PEX B, always size one size bigger as the fittings are smaller than the pipe itself causing more flow restrictions. It's very common that people experience low water pressure with PEX B.

I have been sorting out my wip connection off the tank and i think i am going to run with the pex there too, it should be flexible enough. I mount my regulators and water traps at the drops to give the air time to cool and release the moisture properly, plus it gives me less line loss having tank pressure within 20ft of the tool. I changed out my HF quick connects for Milton high flows (type V) and I am not disappointed. It feels like I have an extra 10 gallons in the tank. At $25 for a 14 piece set they are not much more than the HF crap I was using and I haven't worn one out yet so I am already saving over the cheapies I kept replacing with every trip. I learned on fittings "buy once, cry once" works out.

I know everyone likes to save money on using less fittings but it just looks so much better when you keep everything plumb and level. Im talking about the blue pex line behind him. Instead of curving the the line to change direction it would of looked much cleaner to use a 90 degree elbow. By the way that brass fitting with female threads is called a drop ear 90. Not try to rag on your work cause it got the job done right. Just saying it would look much better to keep it plumb and level.

You did not put drip traps below your hose coupling blocks. I recommend you extend the pex at least 8" below the coupling blocks and put ball valves to trap and drain any rouge moisture before it goes into your tools.

Ok Your right about pvc but Pex pipe is not meant for air lines. It can not handle the high pressures you will be using and it will eventually bulge out and fail. The type of air hose you need should be designed for air not water. I'm using TPEE pipe which is for air lines and it looks just like pex but it's not made out of the same "plastic". Another thing is the fittings used for airlines are cheaper and you can remove them without tools. They are not made for pex so you cant use them. I hope everything works out for you but just know it most likely will leak or burst (line will split and not explode like pvc) later on down the road.

Great but you did not allow for a drip leg with a blowout to take out any moisture before it reached your equipment! Never use an oiler on the compressor side, only on the equipment side. Once you contaminate your lines with oil you can never use them for anything else.

I usually put and water separator in front of each piece of equipment with quick connections. That gives me more flexibility. I agree there should be a drip leg, I’ll put one in on version 2.0. There were no oilers in this video but when I use one it’s the same setup as the water separator, right inline right before the tool that needs it and only feeds the tool not the entire line or system.

t I do love the irony of "PVC was NOT designed to be used for AIr lines".. Uhh, neither was PEX lol. It's actually explicitly noted that it does NOT recommend it for Air. That said though, I agree, don't use PVC, instead use Pex.. Preferably Pex A

@@AntonioCunningham Pex A is much more flexible allowing you to make bends in the line, and if the Pex kinks, which is very common, you don't have to redo the line, you can simply just use a heat gun to make it go back to it's original shape.

PEX A is good, but due to the cost of the tool to expand the pipe, it is not for homeowners with small projects like this. Also, not 1 supply house or Lowes/Home Depot carried any PEX A stuff until recently, So it just wasn't available for years here in the south, it was more popular up north!

Yeah, I wouldn't do this... PEX is rated ONLY for liquids and not air. The air from your compressor can reach temps over 200 F, which degrades the PSI of PEX to about 60 PSI and over time makes it brittle. A friend of mine taught me this the hard way when brass fitting and the PEX lip and clamp attached about 3 feet away from the compressor exploded off a 140 PSI compressor striking him in the eye. He lost that eye, nearly died and THEN did the research... You've been warned.
