Put two homes together using the 4' foam blocks.... An amazing way to build except its a bit spendy
Fill the interior ( the wall ) with concrete. inside and the outside of the foam blocks have metal strips to screw your sheetrock or siding to...
super strong, very quiet inside and well insulated..
We set large sheets of the same styrofoam for the floor of the second story and cris crossed with rebar, then poured concrete over it..... Hard to believe the foam held the weight of the concrete.. The inside of the floor foam had tunnels inside it to run electricity and water....
Seems like we ran the hot water pipe ( heat ) before we poured also.....
Quite a structure......

Look at all of that PEX

On a side note: If you place a 12v Peltier against those coils, it will [always] be chillier than ambient air.

The Florida heat is no worse than the Utah cold
Plus, it gets hot as hell here in the high mountain desert
108 last summer and over 30 days of 100+
That said we use the blue plastic pipe made for compressed air
We just had a contractor do the shop and he used band clamps with a machine tool to do the clamps
Compressed air is compressed air
The Nascar boys used to use 180 psi through their guns
I'd push 160 through that Quincy all day long with the pipe you have considered and worry not

The only time I experienced a PVC blow apart on a compressed air system it was exposed to sunlight all day long, for years, yeah, it was exciting for a second.
BOOM! Took the guy's 10 minutes to get me out from under the car

Did they clean the brown streak that was left on the concrete after pulling you out?

Here is the thing with PVC Schedule 40 or 80:

It expands and contracts until it pops. It could take a year or 10 years Most PVC is made for a specific purpose and largely constant pressures at lower pressures.

Good old Google AI....

I dunno - I think I'm with @limp on this. Do it once and never have to worry about it. I mean I've seen it used in a couple different places, but I don't know if I'd want to be standing next to a line that decides to let go at some random time.

@limp - How about this? It looks like it's cheaper than the other stuff that you linked the other day and probably a little easier to work with.

I honestly don't like the flexible pipe.... I want to stay with hard line....

Like always, he just left after he put his mark on the wall.

I was at HD yesterday, pricing out some copper and Galvanized pipe... Whoooeeee.. Not sure what I was thinking but I guess bidenomics destroyed everything... No price savings over the Rapid Air products.....
I could buy a few things at a time as I installed a copper or iron pipe system and spread the cost out over many Social Security checks would be about it..... LOL

PVC starting to look pretty good eh?

No, but it makes the Rapid aire look better....

I just don't get the whole issue with PVC. We ran 1" SCH 80 all over the shop and have had zero issues for over 20 years. Support it and use a good primer and glue.
