Zelko-4-EVA:
i read that the oils from the air compressor can cause PVC pipes to weaken... also, i dont think that PVC pipes are osha approved - if they get hit with something they could break.
i set my air compressor to reduce pressure to 65psi at night and weekends when we arent here. its easier than draining 300+ gallons of air in the tanks.

I didn't want to run metal because the fear of rust over the years, but I do need drain my tank more often.

Yep I know so far, I've been telling myself I'm going to replumb it to metal one day, really ain't that much... one pipe in and one to the press area

I had pvc years ago. It blew and scared the crap out of me. I was glad I was not in the room. I think it could have been dangerous.
When you replace the pipes I strongly suggest more unions than you think you need.

I was just going to recommend this to Daryl as well.
Easy stuff to work with for the most part.
