could result.  Any tube, pipe, or hose used must have a pressure rating higher than 
150 PSI.  Minimum recommended pipe size:  Up to 50 feet long use 1/2” diameter.  
Greater than 50 feet use 3/4” diameter.  Larger diameter pipe is always better.

Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to the
