I agree, check valve failure is low. But if it fails open, alot of morons that are in the construction industry will just get a plug for a quick fix and move on and forget it. And don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the use of something that is potentially unsafe. But stupidity is most likely what brought it on to begin with. Kind of like the hot coffee in the lap deal.
Right on, my one-legged friend.
He states somewhere the company he bought that from. Its aluminum and is made in Germany. But the name escapes me.
j/k
I had just pulled it in from outside where I washed it in 20* weather. Got it inside so it could dry and waxed it.

Ok the pipe is schedule 80 and the first part of it is metal until the valves which will stay closed unless being used, max 150psi from the compressor and regulators and psi guages are installed so that tools are not overpowered, the schedule 80 may not be the best idea but for 10 bucks ran all that was needed and had 2--10' sections leftover, the little bit of metal pipe from the compressor to the valves was $30 IIRC
Pretty sure we wont have any problems, and one line goes to a reel hung up that has 50' of line and the other goes to the side door to an attachment for the 25' line that will go to the side yard.

What's wrong with using a rolling chair as a ladder to change a lightbulb? It's a good way to do it because you just have to kick off the wall and grab the bulb while you're spinning. Gotta avoid that carpel tunnel syndrome.

It takes a certain level of skill to master.
I'm not there yet.
A friend of my dads tried it once and broke his shoulder.
I think I'll practice some more before I get you that video.
