This thread is fortunate timing for me as I just got back from pricing some pipe for my air install. Here in Australia it seems copper is actually cheaper than galv pipe which surprised me a bit, then again nobody uses steel pipe for plumbing here so I really shouldn't have been surprised.
It will be either 3/4 or 1" copper pipe for me then, probably the former as it's more of a plumbing standard therefore the tube benders etc are easier to get for it. I've seen photos of shops with copper installations but all of the "how to" articles I've read have been with steel pipe. Does anyone know of any online resources describing copper installations? The soldering etc is fine, that's just the same as standard water plumbing, but I'm not sure what's used in terms of terminating the lines with the quick connect fittings etc.
