RE: compressed air vs. screwed pipe

yes subject to the limits stated in para 314 of B31.3. our line spec calls for the use of T&C A53-B ERW Galv pipe up to 3 in. Our plant and instrument air normally passes thru the air drier before being distributed platwide. If u dont have a drier and the volume is not significatn u want just want ot install a knockout pot to remove moisture.

You may want to consider the use of Victaulic coupling. Lately this has been our prefered pipe joining system for compressed air and fire water line. U may either visit thier site or request for a free catalog. The Victaulic is certifed to death - UL, FM, etc.
