i have pretty much dismissed using pvc, though a number of guys i know have done it. i talked to the schultz factory today and their compressor is cast iron as well.
so for airlines, the choices in front of me are.....1. pvc (dismissed) 2. black iron (to heavy, i dont have a threader and it isnt that cheap anymore) 3. copper (easiet for me other than slip fit stuff), 4. blue aluminum (nice but really pricey) 5. rapid airs plastic tubing.
since i have a while, it is fun to research. there are a lot of threads on garagejournal and air lines about it.
