Hey guys - need your advice
I have a 30x40 building that is split into two parts. The front part is 30x20 and is where we store mower, 4 wheelers, etc. My 60 gallon air compressor sits here. I have it connected to a pressure regulator and a hose reel that is used to air up tires, use air wrenches, etc.
Now, I want to run air pipe to the back room which is my woodworking shop. My initial thought was just to run black pipe back there too. I left a capped off tee in the front room just for this purpose.
The problem is that I keep reading about black iron rusting and damaging my tools. Some suggest copper. I also think I need to incorporate a water and air filter in my system but I don't know if they need to be just off the main compressor or at each drop. I did plan to install a second regulator at the woodworking drop. The woodworking drop would only be to run nailers at this point but who knows in the future.
I have never soldered copper before but I consider my self a pretty advanced DIY-er so I'm not scared a bit at learning to work with the copper if that is the consensus.
Thanks for your input!
