Its aluminum with easy plastic fittings, 250 psi, take apart, move, change. Just want to find it to get more information.

If you want a simple do-it-yourself system, use schedule L or K copper pipe. It's easy to assemble and it's lighter than black pipe. I doubt that you are designing an elaborate system with lot's of outlets, so it's your choice on which material to use. It may be the cost that is the deciding factor and black pipe may be the way to go. I did some research and found a few articles/sites that may be of interest to you. I like the Garage Pak System. however I do not know the cost, availability or durability of the system. Maybe Ken Brown will jump in, I believe that this is his field of expertise. ....g ********************************************* Garage Pak Compressed Air Systems: The Secret is in the Pipe Compressed Air Tutorial OSHA Plumb your plant air system with Thermoplastic pipe WOODWEB: Compressed air delivery system | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | Thanks Gang, Garage Pak is what I was looking for. When I build my shop I want as much as possible in the orig. budget. I think this system will get air where I need it and will be easy to change or move as needed.

DO NOT USE PVC! PVC turns into schrapnel if it ever breaks or gets punctured, cracked, etc. There are other plastic piping sytems that can be used.
I saw that Trucks episode with the Garage-Pak system. It was pretty nice and seemd like it was really easy to work with.
Good luck on getting your shop set up like you want it
