I used the RapidAir 3/4" Maxline kit in my shop. It worked out really well. The piping come in a roll and needs to be unrolled and straightened but it wasn't difficult. The fittings are high priced as well, so buyer beware. I have three drop outlets and I have two hose reels mounted inside, and one hose reel mounted outside under the eave. I used 3/4" stainless steel pipe fittings to make the manifold and I have a Wilkerson 3/4" filter/regulator. I've been using the Milton V-style hose fittings for better air flow.
That's a pretty sweet way to handle piping. When we were with champion - they had a quick lock system that was pretty much the same as the Rapidair Fast pipe stuff with nylon fittings (I believe both are made by transair). Right now the Aluminum pipe is actually cheaper than copper here in MA. The fittings may be expensive, but Rigid ProPress copper fittings aren't cheap either. We make up any of that cost in labor - it's so much faster using the push to connect fittings like the Fast Pipe system than crimping or soldering copper fittings. As always - thanks for the content!
Quick, clean, and easy! I can see that this would be great for anyone, but especially helpful if you're not experienced in pipe fitting. Also, it has a polished/finished appearance. Cool.
Heard nothing but good reviews about Rapid Air Systems, I used some of it in my Shop and its working great
Thanks Bud👍🏻
