I've been meaning to run air around my workshop for a while, but had no compressor. I was toying with trenching a pipe across from another shed and stealing air from its compressor, but that all seemed like a lot of work, and buying another compressor would be a lot simpler. Supercheap have their Stanley belt drive unit on sale at the moment, which is a nice machine for the price, so it seems like the right time to get on with it.

Having used a bunch of Pex with push-fittings quite successfully for mains water, which here is about 800kPa, I'm thinking using 20mm Pex might be a good, quick installation.

Anyone tried Pex + push-on fittings for air?
