Compressed air flow rate has many myths associated with it today. Most people will tell you that a bigger pipe is better and for the most part that is true. However, bigger will cost more! The reason that we sell 2 unique compressed air systems is to offer the customer a choice to choose what suits them best. Size your air system for the tools you will use and the size of your workshop.
The RapidAir system of nylon tubing was designed for the hobbyist workshop to offer an affordable and easy to install system. Its smooth inner wall structure flows better than the same size black pipe. It is more than adequate for the average workshop with standard air tools. Use the flow rate calculator and cfm tool chart to figure what system is best for you.
If longer air lines are necessary, or if your air compressor is far away from your workshop, simply add a pipe run of our Airnet hard piping. RapidAir can be adapted easily to it.
