I ran 1 1/2 main copper lin for my friends body shop. He runs two 25 HP compressors at 175 PSI. Went with copper as steel piping rusts and causes problems with the air tools. The drops were done in 3/4 copper pipe. When we pressured it up, we had one 1 1/2 joint come apart at 60 PSI, missed sodering it. I will only copper pipe for air lines. If you don't think copper will take the pressure, look up the pressure rating for the copper pipe, you will be surprised, it's way up there, I believe over 1000 PSI.
