Pex-Al-Pex is what the air line kit I bought uses. I think the fittings were
special. I don't think that something that can explode and send srapnel in the
shop is a place to save mmoney, though I did shop for the least expensive
solution.

I just did some cursory searching, and the general consensus seems to be that
while you can use PEX for air lines, it’s not considered ideal for a number of
reasons, most of which seem to focus on permeability and burst pressure.
What many of the articles do suggest, however, is to consider
Yea I think you are right, it will be much cheaper using regular pex
fittings and buying the crimp tool and rings off amazon.

I would tend to believe it would be cost-prohibitive as well to use SharkBite
fittings. They seem to average about $10-$20/each, depending on the type of
fitting or valve. That could get real expensive, really quick. It’s got to be
cheaper and easier to just spec out what you need or buy a kit

And, shark bite fittings tend to be expensive. I think I would use PEX
fittings and the crimp rings. You will need the crimp tool as well as
the cutter for removing rings when you mess up or decide to change
something.
I have not used them for air but I probably should install a line in my
Good luck with that - in my experience, shark bite fittings don't reliably hold
60psi water, much less 100+ psi of air though I've never tried it.

Instead of a kit I think I’m going to use pex and shark bit fittings along with
ball valves I already have. It appears this will be cheaper.

My boss got sprayed and didn't like it. Had to refit drain(s).
This despite having a water separator and dryer.

Every time you leave the shop for longer than to take lunch.

I wonder about PEX? It is more flexible and less brittle than PVC or ABS.

Consider an el-stupido move like catching a hose on the bumper of a car you're

You don't want your entire air system to go out the door too, dragging your
compressor on
its side out

Supposedly galvanized is not recommended, not sure
You could cheap out and use PEX and black iron or copper. You will have to
invest in the tools for PEX tubing though.

This young fellow used copper. At the present time, it would be too much money.

Another couple votes for PEX.
