[QUOTE="NVGuide, post: 2543281, member: 119078"] It has been mentioned a couple time already but OSHA will have a HeyDay in your shop if you are in business and use PVC (SCH 40 or 80). I don’t care for those pencil pushing jerks but in this case they were right. I had a spray in bed liner business and I piped my shop with schedule 80. 18 months after I opened my doors, I got a surprise inspection from them. They gave me 10 business days to remove the PVC and replace with iron pipe or copper. I was rather miffed because I had been using my set up for 18 months with zero issues. Two days after the surprise inspection, one of my employees ran the handle of a floor jack into the pressurized air line. It promptly exploded sending shrapnel all over the shop. Thankfully no one was injured. Lesson learned. I replaced everything with an iron pipe tree and copper drops as others have mentioned with multiple drains for condensation. Worked great for 10+ years before I sold the business. JMHO Good luck. [/QUOTE]
