Martin, Typical flexible air hoses are fine, within their pressure ratings. However, if you ever decide to plumb the room with rigid piping, be aware that there are a number of anecdotal accounts that PVC and similar plastics are not suited to the purpose and may explode, sending shrapnel around the room. If you need sources for these anecdotes, I can ask around. Bruce NJ On Mon, May 10, 2021 at 6:01 PM Martin Flynn via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Sounds like there is enough value to move forward with accepting it.
For now, the plan is a flexible hose with enough length to reach the middle of the classroom, and out the furnace room exterior doors. Might run a manifold via the attic later on, but that about it as far a distribution goes...
Power connection is a Hubbell 560P9W pin & sleeve connector - not planning to hardwire it to prevent ownership confusion.

I was able to find a 140 psi craftsman horizontal 30 gallon motor on tank compressor in nice shape, at an estate sale, for $150. I use it all the time for blowing off circuit boards, to powering air tool for working on my car.
Definitely a required tool for any shop.
One thing for certain, that if you don’t have enough reserve on your tank and pressure on your line it’s going cause a lot of PSI problems when you run lines throughout different buildings or rooms.
