Has anyone used PVC pipe to run air lines from a air compressor? I know a guy who used it and he says he hasn't had any problems. I'm wondering if it's safe.

OK IMO, use the heaviest wall pipe you can get.

A better safer option would be to use poly tubing, they make it in various standard sizes and its safe for industrial applications.

We had a pvc section to blow out in a plant about 20 years ago and it hit someone and hurt them. I wouldn't use it unless my pressure was pretty low.

We did it at a shop I worked at years ago by using that gray colored, thick wall, pipe (can't remember what you actually call it). No one ever got hurt but we were constantly repairing busted pipe. It just couldn't handle the pressure, and constant use, of the bead blaster and air tools. I wouldn't do it. The samll amount of savings isn't worth the risk.

Look at a kit from RapidAir instead of PVC. You can get aluminum or nylon tubing and all of the fittings you need in a kit This is probably what I'll use since it's so cheap for the kit. I have a small 9 gallon compressor but I'm wanting to use air tools. I'm looking at the 60 gallon 3.5 hp Kobalt compressor from Lowe's that's $499. Thanks guys!

Lowes has pretty much the same kit but tubing is 3/8" Kobalt Garage Air Line Kit
