Hi folks.
I am hoping to run an air line from a compressor in my basement to my
detached garage through a burried steel electrical conduit. The length
of the conduit is approximately 75'. The conduit currently contains
two unused 12 gauge conductors and looks to be about 3/4" in diameter
and heavier than your standard EMT . Does anyone see any potential
problems with this arrangement?

I was thinking flexible hose, any suggestions as to type?

Thanks,
Andy

(Ideally I would have the compressor in the garage, but I don't have
enough circuits/capacity out there. - I basically use the air for
blowing around sawdust)


We use miles of this stuff at work

and it runs thru conduit and cable trays, indoors and outdoors. We've had
very little problems using this tubing. I would suggest that you put an air
receiver in the garage to prevent pressure drops that will occur over the
75' of tubing run.
