What type of copper tubing should be used for air lines? Line pressure will be limited to a maximum of 125 psi. I have seen some information on B88 Type L copper tubing but am curious if there is another option. One thing is that the connections have to be done with compression fittings so an annealed tubing will have to be used (assumption). Also, is there any reference material for allowable support spacing for the use of copper tubing? aumechengr
