Rapid Air System

I used the system with the plastic push-in fittings and it was horrible! I got everything all cut, trimmed, layed out and first time I pressurized the system the "push-in" fittings started blowing out. Plus, even applying heat, I couldn't get the "curl" out of the hose from it being coiled up in the box. Supposedly, their new product is supposed to be easier to work with, but I wouldn't waste my time and money again! I had the same idea you did with wanting to compliment a new compressor, but it didn't work out for me. I now have regular air hose run throughout the garage with "T" fittings and whatnot. There's definitely a pressure drop at the point of use, but it's been working ok for a few years now.
