Compressed Air Piping
Galvanized pipe is the way to go, cheaper then copper and galvanized is more durable. Copper fittings can get expensive and then you have to swag together with solder, and connectors must be clean, really clean. Copper fittings to pipe will not take the twist you may need to tighten the connection even using sealants Plastic anything will age and get brittle, using a torch or welder or a grinder in the shop, just a tiny spark may burn a hole in the plastic pipe.
I am sure that you know you will have to use some type of flexible pipe from the compressor to the wall. I used a hydraulic hose like the ones off of a tractor or such, most farm supply stores carries pre-made hoses with pipe fittings. Pipe service outlets are like electrical outlets never enough of them, so plan ahead....
