Re: Scene Shop Air Compressors?
For compressed air piping systems, use steel pipe. Small diameter (less than 2.5 inches) uses threaded joints. Larger diameter pipe is welded, but I doubt your system is that big.
DO NOT USE PVC FOR COMPRESSED AIR.
If you want to use a polymer product for the piping, use ABS. Many of the major PVC producers make ABS and market it for compressed air systems.
Make sure the valves are rated for the high pressure.
If you are really comfortable working with threaded steel pipe, you could probably do it yourself, but I don't know if such a system falls under the Plumbing Codes. Plus, the pipe support will require some thought and work.
