In my shop, I set 3/4" copper tubing into the walls sweat-soldered together 
with quick disconnects every 5 feet, around 3 sides. Don't recommend 
poly-pipe. Even if solvent-welded, it will eventually crack from the constant 
100lbs+ pressure. I also put a moisture trap on the compressor tank, and we're 
in a desert area,   but unless I drain the tank weekly, I still get a little 
moisture in the line. Good luck- JDeRyke
