Finally plumbed for compressed air

I've done Sched40 PVC before, but once you've had that explode a few times you start to avoid it (and OSHA prohibits it I think, but I'm in my own house so can be as dangerous as I want to be).

I went with the 1" blue aluminum "fast pipe" you've likely seen on the TV shows. The pipe is cheap but each fitting is $15-$30 so that's what really adds up. I have about $750 into this total, not counting the dryer and hose reel and stuff I already had.

Looks pretty and should really up the game of my blast cabinet, which was running through about 100' of 3/8" hose before the gun beforehand. The large 1" pipe likely acts as a multi-gallon reservoir on its own, I imagine.

Beats me why vBulletin in the year 2015 can't figure out which was is up, so you get a sideways picture! [Edit: and it's actually 2016]
