Avoiding possible internet rumors of rusting in black pipe, we went with the Firestone rubber
stuff that most people use for their drops for our whole system. Cheap and easy and if (when) we move
it comes with me.

you can buy threaded pipe that is darn near cut to size.  You might have to get a couple pieces threaded, but probably not, at least at our shop we moved things just a little to make it work.

I used Legris in my entire shop. A few simple tools and you're ready to go. No threading pipe or anything. Available at Grainger. I got mine where I bought my compressors though. So damn easy it isn't funny. Cheap? No. But so easy. Looks nice too, especially if you like blue ;D

Are the fittings reasonable? That is one thing I noticed with the RapidAir, fittings seemed a bit pricey. That and for the RapidAir they did not have big enough diameter tube/pipe.

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...
