[QUOTE="XxaquadogxX, post: 2535762, member: 119615"] It depends on your volume needs. The line inner diameter is the biggest consideration. 3/4 PVC will carry air and supply it with much less pressure drop than 1/2. While blasting do you need better sustained volume, or higher pressure? In either case, 3/4 will deliver much better results. PVC burst strength ratings as well as chemical resistance should be checked, and the burst strength should be approx 3 times your working load. Many shops use this method without an issue. I believe the blue line mentioned in an earlier post is most likely PEX, another choice from the plumbing dept, it is available as a roller product without the need for as many joints, again you would need to check burst strength. It uses push lock fittings which are also compatible with hard copper and PVC. I hope this is useful for you. [/QUOTE]
