RapidAir makes nice all-in-one systems for compressed air systems, including certain types of tubing appropriate for burrial ...
The condensation factor someone mentioned seems to make sense ... compressed air warms up, hit cold tubes, condensation occurs ... Unless maybe you have a really good filter/dehydrator at the source in the shed, but even then ... In my basement the compressor is next to the adjoining wall to the garage, one floor down ... one hole in the wall (top basement, bottom garage) and voila I'm in. With the RapidAir kit, this was all done quickly and easily ... |

Many people have said that PVC has worked fine for them in the past, and they are not wrong in their observations. They are wrong in writing off the risk because "it hasn't happened (to them) yet." |
Not a recommendation to use PVC, but 3" sch 40 is dancing a lot closer to the edge than 1/2" or 3/4".
