I wonder about using PEX for this purpose too. I have not read anything that suggests that PEX would not work OK, but maybe PEX is too new in this country for people to have long term experience.
I have a 1 inch copper air line running around the perimeter of my garage. It is sloped so the condensed moisture runs into a sump that is easily drained. In my opinion the advantage of using copper is that copper will cool the compressed air better than almost anything else, and transfer that heat to the outside air. Unfortunately copper has become awfully expensive. I am thinking about building another pole building and would like to have air lines in it. I bet they will end up being PEX, since PEX is SO much less expensive than copper.
I think that black steel pipe or galvanized pipe would work OK, but both have also got quite expensive. And over the years, they WILL rust, probably from the inside out.
