Got to agree with the posts suggesting a flexible line vs copper. I've seen many compressors tied in with copper and sooner or later all of them had the problem described in the other posts, the line work hardens from vibration and heat and cracks. Funny thing is it always seemed to happen when the compressor was really needed. The only thing I will say different is get a line made up that is actually for air service, don't get a "hydraulic" line. With a true "hydraulic" service line the rubber will eventually deteriorate from the heat, especially right at the compressor discharge, and dry air and start leaking also. I watched that happen on our shop compressor within about 4 years (but it was a used line to begin with so that probably shortened it's life too). Many hydraulic shops will have the proper type hose to make up the line you need for air service or you can often get one premade through somewhere like McMaster Carr ot MSC.
