I never thought about painting our copper piping. I always thought the patina that covers the pipes adds a bit of history and class, ya know an antique-feel, to the shop. I was in a shop years ago that used PVC piping for their air. From looking a

I have to disagree with you SWAG. Unless you thread it, it doesn't meet fire code. If you got connections that operators plug into, copper bends easy compared to other pipe. PVC is only allowed for compressed air if it is used underground (at leas

Hello all, I have a few CP43's and am struggling to find their air consumption ratings. I found that our IP3 consumes 240 Nl/min for the machine itself, and the MTU unit consumes 600 Nl/min, however Fuji's spec sheets do not list these ratings for t

Check your local building code first. A lot of people 'say' they use various types of pipes. If you're looking for a complete system, try Patton Sonic. They're piping section is at; http://pattonsinc.com/piping.htm
