I installed this kit over 5 years ago its absolutely excellent. My only issue with it is that the hose retainers are garbage especially around turns the tubing likes to come out of them they should make it a two screw hole with a full wrap around the pipe retainer. I added prevost quick connects on the drop legs and its absolutely excellent. Also buy a tube of loctite 545 for air fittings it will be your best friend for all the threaded fittings in the kit its way faster and works better than teflon tape if not you will be chasing leaks.
Use the tape for joining natural gas, it's normally yellow. Teflon can work, but it's meant to hold water pressure. The natural gas seals air tight. Strange.
Great video! One question though, isn’t using pipe sealant on top of teflon tape a bit unnecessary? I thought teflon tape was used in place of pipe thread sealant.
I find these so frustrating.... all these companies talk how important air flow is and sell the lovely aluminum pipe BUT then make these pathetic fittings that are half the diameter of the pipe!!!!! Seriously... look at the pipe you are holding and the T on the end of it, it's LESS than half the diameter! th-cam.com/video/3VN5eMmRIv8/w-d-xo.html. There are other companies that do have the correct fittings but they are $80 a fitting so I'm sticking to soldered copper and will save money.
I've been wanting one of these kits for over five years. The problem is that every year, I use less and less air power and more battery power. I rarely power up my 60 gallon IR air compressor.
Thanks for what you guys do. Got a lot of great power tools!

I've never had a problem with mine sounds like you don't have a clue what's going on.

Completely a waste of time and resources.
Good Video I bought same Kit!
