Maxline M7500 Master Kit, 3/4-Inch x 100-Feet

I had been having an issue with moisture in my air compressor lines and started doing some research on dryers and line systems. As part of the solution for the moisture, I ended up getting this RapidAir 3/4" 100' kit to get drains all around my shop. Prior to this, I only had one port for connecting the air compressor and was getting water every time I was using my compressor.Well, what a great product! For the money you can't beat it. It took me about 6 hours to install the kit but I was taking my time and wanted to think through where to put the ports. The line is pretty stiff but I was able to get it straight enough for my OCD by bending it and eyeballing the line as I unrolled it. Once it was up, if a spot looked too low or high on the wall I would just push up and adjust it and it stayed in place and it looks great. I did the install by myself so it was definitely something that anyone can do. So far no leaks and I love the new "universal" couplers that I got at Lowes for the ports.

After reading some of the reviews I was wondering how the install was going to go. Pleasantly surprised how easy it was to work with. I did use a conduit bender for the 90s, but not necessary at all, and you'll end up moving it around a bit anyways. Did most of my garage in about 3-4 hours on a Saturday. Once you get it in place it's easy to push on it and straighten it out.I bought two extra bags of clips, a couple of their fittings (for instance I knew I'd need a 90 fitting for a hard turn behind my work bench), and a different block they sell (pictured by the hose reel). Plan accordingly, Amazon is great with returns and you can't just run down to the hardware store to get parts for this system if you get halfway into the install and realize you need something. You don't need to go overboard with the straps/clips either, the pipe is super rigid and light weight, holds itself in place well. All in all, on straight runs, 1 clip every 8 feet is plenty.Was 100% planning on chasing some leaks down on startup, but didn't have any to chase. Haven't noticed any more leak down than I had before with my reel hooked directly to the compressor.Been in for a couple months now, pressurized 150 psi for most of that time, occasionally turned down to 90 for die grinders and what not. Still operating same as it was day one. I've already recommended it to a couple buddies for their shops, for price and ease of install vs copper or iron, it really can't be beat. About the only down side is the exorbitant cost of their fittings, but tbh if you plan well and are willing to deal with the little extra hassle of dealing with long runs (avoiding splices), you won't need many of them.

In my other shop, I have the 1/2" Rapid Air system. It served me well for several years. In my new shop, i had been meaning to get the air plumbed-in for almost a year. I was tired of dragging an air hose across the floor.Now, one thing that never occurred to me is why my air tools never seems like they had the oomph that they should. So, I was poking around on Amazon Warehouse Deals and found the 3/4" setup for $145. I figured the additional volume that the 3/4" pipe would offer the the outlets, could make a big difference. That along with learning that there are air fittings with a 3/8" opening, that pass about 2x the volume of air that the typically 1/4" fitting and couplers do.The 100' kit was more than enough to plumb-in three outlets in my large shop. The tubing cutter and reaming tools provided made easy work of attaching the T's and couplings to the outlet blocks. You will need to make rather wide radius bends, and if you're up on a tall ladder installing the lines overhead, it'll help to have someone to assist uncoiling and feeding the pipe to you.I've refitted my air tools with 3/8" Milton P-style (also known as Automotive Interchange or Truflate T-style) coupler snd plugs, along with 3/8' ID air hose. Now my Snap-on impact guns sound like the tire guns at NASCAR. The difference is remarkable.For well under $200, you can't go wrong and if you find this setup on Warehouse Deals, it is a downright bargain.

This is a serious piece of equipment and screams quality from the start. The tube is a softer poly tube, but it is lined with an aluminum. Sure uncoiling is a little tough, but it's much easier than say a coil of PEX, since the aluminum keeps it's shape when bent straight. I loved the ease of working with the product and to my surprise the cutters worked without any force at all. Very impressive.I used a good teflon tape and made some connections direct to black pipe where I went through a concrete wall. The female fittings thread directly into a male end of black pipe. For the black pipe connections I tried the PTFE paste which also seemed to work flawlessly with the product.I read some reviews of leaks, but after checking all mine with soapy water, I didn't have a single bubble on the first try. Keep in mind this is a compression fitting, so you need to tension the nuts pretty tight. There will be a point where you can feel the nut loosen a bit due to the compression happening. Then it will snug down nicely.Great Product! 5 Stars!
