- Thanks for watching. I wanted to show how easy it is to build an air line system using PEX. This is a very basic system but you can get as creative or complicated as you like. I’m happy to say the system has been leak free and only took a few hours to complete. Please like and subscribe.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Awesome, so it should be no problem using pex to run air lines ..that awesome I will give it a shot. Thanks for the informative video sir 👍👍👍👍👍
He better hope so after putting it behind his walls. Man I'd be scared to put any air line behind my wall. No matter what you use, eventually it's gonna leak.
Nice job though.
Matt reslnger (he does house building videos) tested pex a b c, with a hydraulic kine test kit. I think that they failed at between 385 psi and 425 psi. And they failed in the middle of the line, not at a connection.
I hope you are running less than 150psi. I blew mine out using regular PEX. I had to switch to Pex A. But I run 170PSI to all drops then regulate from their. It took a few months but I guess it got too hot this summer and the pex got too soft and formed a bubble. I regret not getting video of it now. I thought about going Iron but here in Georgia the humidity is horrid. I am however fixing to add a copper loop in the system to separate it better though.
My system is set up at 150psi. The pipe is rated for 300psi so hopefully I don’t have any issues. It’s been in and working for a few months with no signs of leaks or breaks. Thanks for watching and good luck with your system.
@@humandoing9675 Ya know maybe my line got smacked by something and weakened that spot. I really don't know. I was just too paranoid as I never shut my compressor off, so if a line blows at night it will run all night. so I just erred on the side of caution. But I like your work man, looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
I recommend you also add a copper coil between your compressor and your tank for cooling and condensing.
@@mikegrok That does look like the best all-around point of dehumidification, eh
I'm surprised on how Civil the comment section is. Also surprised the comment section isn't filled with people telling you how there's no way the PEX will work for an Air line and if you do use it, it's going to EXPLODE and turn your garage into a pile of rubble.
I'm debating if I should make life easier and run an Air line around the interior of my garage with some extra PEX I have. Have you had any issues between the time you installed the PEX and today?
I think it’s pretty common to use Pex these days. I’ve had no issues and no leaks. Even through very cold winters and hot summers.
Very Good!... 13🐄🦉🏴☠✝
Hi bud, did you use pex A or pex B . Thanks mate ☺️👍
I used Pex B.
What do you call those connections that have the stopper on it for when you go to crimp the fitting the name and where do you buy?
The brand I used are called CrimpRite. I purchased them from Lowe’s.
@@humandoing9675 thank you and happy New Year 2022
Can I ask why 1/2" not 3/4" for air line?
I used 1/2” because it’s what I had left over from a bathroom Reno. If you need more CFM, 3/4” is the way to go.
PEX will work, but it's not made for air and will leak air through the fittings and pipe itself. It can eventually fail as it's not made for the constant pressure.
My system is on 24/7 and doesn’t leak. The tube will not leak as long as it isn’t damaged and the seals shouldn’t leak if installed correctly. You can contact PEX, they will tell you the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Read the specs.
Dislike for the tesla wall
Lol. I’m not trading it in any time soon.
Why no shut off valves anywhere in the system?
If it was a larger or more complex system I’d add them, but as it stands, I didn’t think they were needed.
