Given my history of things going wrong in the garage, I decline to advise either way ;D

I wont even use push fit on water  ;D

But water fittings for an airline is questionable, airlines often have oil in them and you need seals in the fittings capable of withstanding exposure to the oil.

 On a site a few years ago, all the mains water in the building was being preasure tested overnight after being pumped up to 20bar. It dropped to -17c overnight. every fitting blew out and it flooded the floor being tested. Plastic pipe and fitting specialy designed for air are made. I would strongly advise going that route. The old way was to use steel threaded pipe and in some small establishments, copper pipe. Plastic is now the norm
