What size gal pipe do you use macca?

Three inch for the main runs, inch and a half or two inch for branches and either three quarter or half inch for the droppers, (usually half inch) in the pic I posted you can see one of the three inch above the roller door on the right and a balance pipe running across the top of the spray booth and gantry, we run the three inch in a grid, one down each side of the factory and then run a three inch pipe between them every eight metres, the wall on the left is actually a dividing wall there is another three inch on that side.
They run a bloody big bead blaster along with a heap of CNC's, so when the blaster kicks in you need to make sure the CNC,s have enough air otherwise the result aint pretty

It's all about the air volume required isn't it

I project managed a large manufacturing factory that had a 2 part ring main using 40mm bore pe100  with welded joints and lots of drop legs to fittings - all done by a specialist subbie. Cost a motza (shed is 6000m2). All fixed piping should have falls to dead legs with drain taps to catch condensation.

No worries, I'm just up the road

I think in one post you said you were going to line the walls? if you do and you run hose behind the lining you will have problems when a hose blows off a fitting and it will eventually

Yeah, couple lengths half inch gal and a few fittings will be more than enough, only takes 15 to 20 seconds to cut a thread so you can put as many fittings as you like, be done in no time at all

I'll get some prices for you tomorrow, joint where I am do all their own purchasing and me being an old fart I cant remember, but its not a lot

[fishfinder]

Far enough maybe higher rating again? This shot
is 25mm PN16

i think you will find that is pn12.5"blue line" used for mains water - the "green line" stuff is used for agriculture  - I only sell water transfer poly so not sure the coding of the other poly pipe.

[achjimmy]

Nah it's pn16 or at least it's labeled that way on the pipe. Your tight though it's the first time I have seen 16 with blue stripe

[fishfinder]

not doubting you but never seen it - that will confuse a plumber using that on long runs being a smaller ID the friction loss will be greater.

Repco have the retractable air hose on special

[Bird]

I better start this gig in th next month... time to go shopping for the bits.

[Diesel Power]

Those air hose reels are only good for light use applications due to only being 10mm hose.
If you want to get into rattle guns etc you need 12 mm ID hose.
