Is there any consensus on whether or not to use PVC or CPVC for air lines?
Yes, there is -- don't.
My compressor is capable of 150psi.
I already have copper for most of my distribution system but I need to add a
branch and the copper prices are profanity inducing.
So use steel. Never, never, never, never use PVC/CPVC for compressed air. It's
been discussed here a number of times before. Do a Google Groups search on
this newsgroup, and I'm sure you'll find a few horror stories.
