because it wont start outdoors in cold weather. But I have to run a long
air hose thru the house, then leave my door part way open during cold
weather, in order to pump up a tire. I want to pipe the air thru the
house and bring it outside near where I park vehicles, and put an air
coupler out there.
I've seen a lot of service garages use steel pipe, but that would be
costly and a lot of work to install. PEX would be much cheaper and
easier to install. But can it handle the air pressure? My compressor
shuts off around 100lbs. I would not leave it under pressure, it would
only be turned on when I need to use it.
