Default AIR COMPRESSOR SUPPLY LINE

Picking up a 155 PSI 80 Gal today
I have some people tell me to use schd 80 pvc pipe others say to use metal pipe. A plumber told me PVC is not rated for air. Has anyone had experience in using PVC.
My gut feeling is to use metal.

Dude your username is freakin awesome lol

PVC shouldnt be used for compressed air man, people have gotten away with it but its not the best idea. Schedule 80 PVC is the only pipe rated for that kind of psi and its not easy to come by.

Find some metal line, do it right the 1st time
