[AT] Air lines

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

I plan to use PEX in my shop.  I also have heard the manufacturer of PEX
uses it for their airlines, and they also don't have any UV problems with
the lines run inside the factory.  They are not in direct sunlight, but are
exposed inside.  I plan on running 3/4 PEX around the perimeter of the shop
and then drop airlines wherever I need them.  One big advantage is I can cut
the pipe and drop a new line in about 10 minutes.

The only concern I would have with PEX is that it is vulnerable to UV
degradation. The tubing would need to be shielded from the light or the
lifespan would be reduced to the point where installation would be
problematic.
