We generally don't recommend galvanized ... if flakes off and messes
up things. Black pipe or copper is commonly used. If you need the
corrosion protection, stainless welded tubing is pretty reasonably
priced.

In the hydraulic world, we use "velocity fuses" or "hose break valves"
for applications like this. I do not know of a pneumatic equivalant,
but it may exist. One of my customers has solenoid valves on every
air line outlet, for different purposes, but they may meet your need
with an "e-stop" string of NC pushbuttons supplying them.
I will look into the velocity fuse for compressed fluids next week.
