RapidAir is a complete compressed air distribution system that is designed to easily install beneath walls of new construction, or on wall surfaces of existing workshops. Imagine putting compressed air lines exactly where you want them, just like electrical outlets. No more dragging hoses across the shop to your work area.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Better than I was expecting
I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews before finally deciding to get this RapidAir kit for my new workshop. I bought it because of the overall value - but I was concerned, based on other reviews, that I would have problems with leaks or that the hose wouldn't stretch out straight.
Well, let me say that I didn't have any problems at all!
When I got the kit, I unrolled the hose and let it sit in my workshop for about 24 hours before attempting anything. During that time, I pulled out all the included parts and decided how I wanted the system laid out. In my case, I hooked the air compressor up to the manifold using a coupler (that wasn't included) and then installed 2 air access points on opposite ends of the workshop - probably a fairly common install.
It turned out that I didn't need all of the elbow connectors that were included - but I also needed some pieces that weren't in the system. That was easy enough to resolve using the...

Prepare to buy more parts!
I'm less forgiving than the other reviewers here. If it's anything I hate is being nickel and dimed and especially having to run to the store or internet for more parts. What comes in the master kit is enough parts to almost install two outlets in a simple install. Their website says they listened to their customers and made the tubing more flexible. I sure feel sorry for the poor saps that got the "stiff" stuff. The first thing I did was remove the tubing and stretch it out in the 95 degree Florida sun. This had little effect. The tubing is very stiff and fights you all along the way, trying to curl up. I can live with that. Perhaps that's the best it can get. It has to handle a lot of pressure after all. But they don't supply any support clips. I don't see any way to install the system without them and they are cheap, so why not just include them in the kit? So you'll have to run to the store if you didn't order them with your kit.
There is no adapter to hook...
Easy Installation
With some trepidation I bought this product. Read the instructions, and went to their website for further info. There were articles on installation, and videos. I assembled the Manifold and Outlet as instructed. Then I the Manifold and Outlet in their respective locations. Measured the lengths of hose as I proceeded across my shop. First from the compressor to the manifold, then to the hose outlet. Then from there across the shop using a 90o angle. This went to another 90o angle down to the Outlet. Hooked up another hose with a blowing air nozzle. Turned on the compressor and used soapy water to search for any leaks.
Found one and fixed it in the nozzle. No leaks in the system. So far works great with two usable outlets for a nail gun and other tools, as well as blowing off my bench and floor.
