Sioux County, NWIA
Is there much to be gained by using 1” instead of 3/4” for permanent shop air line supply? Thinking to use RapidAir airline. Runs could extend 100’ from the source. Heaviest air demand would likely be a blow gun for cleaning equipment.
It would be possible to make the system a full loop eventually but for now it would be single leg. Shop is 40 x 80 with the compressor at one end.
