[AT] Shop LP Plumbing

[Cecil Bearden]

Might I suggest this.  Get you some long lengths of black pipe.  You 
will be better off running 3/4 or 1 inch diameter if the runs are long 
or there are very many bends.  Go to Harbor Freight and get a pipe 
threader.  They have some that work very well for less than $40 Use a 
lot of cutting oil with them preferable the dark kind.  Harbor freight 
also has this.  You will be happier with the end result.  You can also 
get enough pipe at the time to plumb your shop for air lines also.  We 
have a big plumbing supplier here that can sometimes beat the Lowes or 
Home Depot stores.  Lowes and Home Depot sometimes sell the pipe below 
cost and then stick it to you on the fittings....

I have an electric threader and a hydraulic bender, but that is another 
story.
