I am wanting to setup outlets for my compressor, so that I can plug my air tools in without having to run long hose everywhere.
Most of this will take place inside of my 1-1/2 car garage, but I am toying with the idea of also running a line into my house and into the mechanical room in the basement.
I should note the garage is not attached, it sits about 10' off the house, but I have an area I can easily bury the line and bring it into the house.
What have others found that works well? I was thinking of using PVC, someone mentioned the grey plastic pipe, but a google search just brought up to use black metal pipe. Here is a link to that site.
When I had my drive re-poured last year, I ran metal pipe under ground and terminated it in my garage and at the edge of a box-out crawl space. I did that so that if I ever wanted gas to heat my garage, the line would already be there. I suppose I could use that and then when I get done remodeling or if I ever wanted gas in the gargage, I could switch it's use back over.
Thoughts???
