[QUOTE="Full time hunter, post: 2535171, member: 112320"] From best to worst: copper is by far the best. It dissipates heat the best and there is almost zero corrosion. Next would be galvanized steel. It’s heavy and harder to plumb. Doesn’t dissipate heat as well either. Third is black pipe. With compressed air there is always moisture. Rust actually forms inside the piping and will flow into air tools and restrict pinch points in lines. The worst is pvc. Although it’s easiest and cheapest it holds heat like a styrophome coffee cup which promotes moisture which damages air powered components. [/QUOTE]
