If you want something easy to work with... Why not just run an

something like tygon that will even work with push lock connectors.
It doesn't get much easier that that. You may want to clamp it down
some way to avoid it going wild if it ever does come loose.

The company I used to work for used probably miles of tygon type air
lines. They also had some galvanized pipe/rigid conduit. But without
a pipe threader pipe can be a pain. They did have some stainless
steel pipe for air lines connected with compression fittings. I seen
a couple of them compression fittings blow apart though.

I used 1/2" air hose. Ran it in the C purlin at the 12' level with
drops to 4'. I put an unrefrigerated condenser between the tank and
the service line.

I put some Boston air hose on a service truck in 1983. It is still in
service after outlasting many trucks. This is on a reel unprotected
from the sun or elements.
