A little off topic
"Andy" wrote in message ... Interesting references - thanks! This was another case where my natural procrastination paid off. The air line beween my compressor and the ceiling mounted hose reel is a piece of standard air hose. I had been meaning to tidy it up with a neatly installed hard line for years and had been thinking of using PVC. I'll spend the next procrastination phase considering copper. If your air hose is big enough to support your flow rate, just use some PVC pipe to make a neat conduit for it. It will pretty things up, if properly installed it will get rid of your low spots, and it will be perfectly safe. Vaughn |

Andy One benefit of copper is it becomes a natural cooling coil to help get rid of moisture. We have 100 ft in an array across top of shop ceiling and drip leg for condensate. No water in our air. PVC has proven over time to be a time bomb unless at pretty low pressures. UH |
