Features and benefits of QuickLINE System Benefits of a QuickLINE piping system Clean air and optimal efficiency Aluminium pipe ensures a total absence of corrosion Aluminium pipes prevent problems caused by rust common in metal pipe systems The fullbore design and the low friction coefficient of aluminium pipe provide optimal and constant flow throughout and minimize pressure drop due to consistent clean quality air from compressor to equipment, aluminium pipe ensures higher longevity of equipment and avoids frequent changes of filtration elements Easy to install Installation speed: simple push-in and push-in-and-tighten fittings (compression) allow installation to be done much more quickly than conventional systems requiring welding, soldering and threading of heavy components Installation is 50 % to 75 % quicker than with conventional metal pipe systems QuickLINE pipes and fittings are assembled in just a few steps by a single installer, without the need for pipe threading equipment Fast and easy drop installation: twin take-off drop fitting makes drop installation simple and fast. need to plan drops before main line installation, since system need not be depressurized for drop installation. Save money Significant energy savings: calibrated aluminium pipe used with fittings eliminates leaks, saving up to 0 % of power costs. Both pipe and fittings are designed to reduce friction and pressure drop, further reducing power consumption Substantial savings due to lower labour costs Reduced system downtime and lost or delayed production Reduced maintenance cost Easy to modify or extend System can be easily dismantled and reinstalled at a new facility Lightweight: half the weight of conventional Steel or Black Iron systems Completely reusable: components are easy to remove and relocate, making moving an easier task 0

Clean and dry compressed air Compressed air contains water, dirt, wear particles and degraded lubricating oil, which all mix together to form an unwanted condensate. This condensate rapidly wears tools and pneumatic machinery, blocks valves and orifices and also corrodes piping. This results in high maintenance costs and product spoilage which can bring your production process to an extremely expensive standstill.

Basic information Installation guide General Prior to the installation of a QuickLINE compressed air distribution system, the installer should ensure that the installation area complies with any regulations applicable to explosive hazards installed downstream of the compressed air receiver, or after the dryer. A flexible hose can be installed at the start of the system in order to eliminate any sources of vibration and to facilitate maintenance and operations. Before repair or modify the system, the dowstream pressure should be relieved. Installers should only use the components and accessories, including pipe clips and fixture clamps in particular. The technical features of the QuickLINE components, as described in the QuickLINE catalog must be respected. QuickLINE pipes QuickLINE pipes should be protected from mechanical impact, particularly if exposed to collision with fork-lift or when positioned in a environment with moving overhead loads. Similarly rotation of the pipe and pipe supports should be avoided. The pipeline system must not be welded. Component assembly QuickLINE components are provided with assembly instructions for their correct use. Simply follow the methods and RECOMMENDATIONs stated in this document. Pressurizing the system Once the QuickLINE installation has been installed and prior to pressurizing, the installer should complete all tests, inspections and compliance check as stated in any contract and according to sound engineering practice and current local regulations. Expansion / Contraction The system designer and installer should calculate the elongation and retraction of each QuickLINE line according to the recommandations in this installation guide. Situation to be avoided Installation within a solid mass (concrete, foam, etc.) Exposure to chemicals that are incompatible with Quick- LINE components. Use QuickLINE for grounding, or as a support for electrical equipment. The hanging of any external device on QuickLINE. Flexible anti-vibration hose It is recommended to install a flexible anti-vibration hose between the compressor and the air line system. A flexible anti-vibration hose will extend air line system life by reducing stress from vibration coming from the compressor and misalignment. It is not recommended to install fittings directly to the compressor. Reasonable engineering practice for the optimization of an air pipe system The installation should be performed in accordance with good engineering practice. Bends and bypasses cause pressure drop. To avoid pressure loss, use the flexible hose to offset the network and to bypass obstacles. Keep in-line pipe diameter reductions to a minimum. Keep good quality air with adequate filtration at the compressor outlet. T h e d i a m e t e r o f t h e p i p e w i l l i n fl u e n c e p r e s s u r e d r o p at the operation of point-of-use equipment. Select the d i a m e t e r a c c o r d i n g t o t h e r e q u i r e d fl o w r a t e a n d t h e acceptable pressure drop at the point of use. 6
The point of highest pressure drop The point of the highest pressure drop is typically the furthest point of use in the system. It takes into account all the pressure drops along the path from the point of generation to the point of use. A high pressure drop requires a higher loading pressure on the compressor compensating for the losses along the network. + PSI = +% energy cost A PSI increase in operating pressure results in a % increase in energy consumption. Pressure drops drastically increase the electric bill. Installation guide The pressure drop is influenced by various factors A properly designed system takes all these factors into account. By sizing the pipe properly, using QuickLINE pipe with its low friction factor, minimizing the length of pipe used, and designing a system that takes advantage of a ring design, the pressure drop throughout the network will be minimized. Pipes' inner diameter: Increasing the pipes' inner diameter reduces the pressure drop but increases the initial investment. Free air delivery: The air demand of all downstream equipment connected to the network. Friction factor: Related to the pipe's material. QuickLINE pipe has a very low friction factor due to its smooth surface as opposed to galvanized pipes. Length of the network: The longer the network, the higher the pressure drop. Design: It is recommended to build a closed loop network in order to reduce your pressure drops. Working pressure: When the working pressure is lower, the pressure drop increases. Fittings: Every direction change, cross manifold, T connection or reduction in line size within the network will cause pressure loss equivalent to adding additional line length. The table below indicates effective lengths added to the network by each of these restrictions and/or connections.

RECOMMENDATION Pipe bending is not recommended. Modifying original pipe shape during assembly or non-compliance with the instructions indicated in this guide may alter the air system, cause serious injury and void the warranty. Instructions are valid only for an ambient air temperature of 5-5 C during installation. General guideline Thermal variations (expansion / contraction) To ensure the air line functions properly, you must identify in advance especially on long lines the areas where thermal variations will cause expansion and plan to install rigid or flexible expansion loops in order to absorb this expansion.

General guideline Slopes All straight lines should have a 5-50 mm slope for every 30 meters of length. These slopes (always in the same direction as the air flow) should lead to drops with manual or automatic drains, installed as low as possible in order to eliminate condensates. Installation guide Example for proper inclination 5 to 50 mm 30 meters Fixed mounting bracket INSTALLATION In order to allow the line to expand and to avoid pressure stress points that can compromise the proper functioning of the system, you must install fixed mounting brackets at a few spots along the line. creating a fixed mounting bracket To create a fixed mounting bracket, add the EPDM insert (product no 06.548) into the pipe clip.

General guideline Mounting brackets recommended spacing A mounting bracket should be installed at least every meters for all pipe diameters (0-63 mm). A bracket also needs to be installed no more than 0 cm from every fitting along the line (downstream or upstream). Details page 4 recommended screw Pan head screws 4.
