Engineered for AIRpipe specializes in solutions for compressed air and fluids distribution. Throughout the last 10 years we have continued to invest in R&D; taking into account market feedback and real-world conditions. Our products are engineered to be the most Competitive Advantage Superior reliability ongevity Cost savings Quick & easy install superior available - Advancing the compressed air & gas piping industry. AIRpipe maintains a >300,000 sq ft campus for manufacturing, R&D, and logistics. We a r e committed to being your total system solutions provider. Superior Reliability & ongevity Highly-durable materials resistant to corrosion, vibration, thermal variation, and outdoor weather conditions. Metal clamshell connectors for all diameters are stronger and more durable versus polymer fittings. Unique grab ring design (-mm) and lugged ring (-0mm) allows for zero risk of disconnection. Patented active concentric seals provide leak-free performance, even in high vibration applications. Seal lifespan is double that of industry competitors. Energy & Cost Savings The smooth interior design and highflow connectors ensures a constant supply of clean air at a reduced pressure drop, resulting in significant energy savings. Quick & Easy Modular Installation Complete range of pipe, fittings and accessories works easily for new projects renovations & extensions. Requires no special tooling, welding, gluing, brazing, soldering, or thread Guaranteed leak-free performance and cutting. superior longevity versus traditional pipe systems. Reusable, lightweight, and modular design allows for easy modifications. Quick drops can be added at any time to create new points of use. 01/02

Hand-held hydraulic lugging machine operation requirements Pipe Clip 01 02 3 8-16 XX AIRpipe's pipe clips are designed for versatility. They can be secured via all-thread rod through the clips internal 3/8'' 16 nut, or mounted directly with wall anchors. Manually open the jaws of the clamp and insert the aluminum pipe into the clamp as far as possible. Release the jaws.press the trigger and crimp the pipe until a snap sound is heard. m/19ft 03 04 The bolt size 3/8''-16 is suitable for all fixing clips. This clip allows expansion and contraction of the pipe to occur freely. The fixing clip should be fixed at the min distance of 6 inch (1mm) from the connector in order to allow for the expansion and contraction effect. Spacers for pipe clips Re-open the two jaws to remove the pipe and rotate the pipe slightly.put the jaw side to the mark position. Renew the operation until the required minimum number of lugs for each diameter is finished.

Installing Quick Drop Connectors 01 02 05 06 Mark the pipe where the hole for the quick drop connector will be installed. Identify the drill arbor & hole saw bit required by locating the quick drop part number on the sizing chart. Note: the quick drop part number is located on the connector. Apply steady pressure until the hole saw bit has completely entered the pipe. Remove debris and deburr cut edges. 03 04 07 08 With the proper drill arbor & hole saw bit part numbers identified, thread the hole saw bit onto the drill arbor to create a single drill bit. Hold the drill perpendicular to the pipe with the drill bit in the center of the mark placed on the pipe. The quick drop connector easily aligns into the drilled hole.

Compensating for the effect of expansion and contraction due to temperature variations Consequences of not properly accounting for thermal variations: eakage and system deformation, that in extreme situations, could result in a connection separation. Pipe system movement could create an obstruction. Quick drop connections could become compromised. 1. In order to compensate for the effects of expansion and contraction due to temperature variations, system lengths should be appropriately evalulated and expansion joints installed where needed. a. Anytime there is a change in temperature between areas. b. If there is a temperature differential of 30 F or more possible in the system. c. For significant lengths of piping. 2. Recommended locations of flexible hoses or expansion loops include but are not limited to. a. The discharge of the compressor. b. The middle of of a long run of pipe. c. Corners of a piping network. d. In a multiple pipeline loop at the beginning of a parallel line internal to the pipeline loop. 3. Best practices include but are not limited to: a. All aluminum piping to be installed in strict accordance with AIRpipe installation instructions and specifications. b. Allowing the corners to expand and contract by placing pipe clips an appropriate distance from each corner. Avoid placing a pipe clip directly in the corner. c. Install piping indicated to be exposed and piping in equipment rooms and service areas at right angles or parallel to building walls. d. Install piping adjacent to equipment and machines to allow service and maintenance. e. Install air and drain piping with 1 percent slope download in direction of flow. f. Install nipples, flanges, unions, transition and special fittings, and valves with pressure ratings same as or higher than system pressure rating, unless otherwise indicated. g. Install branch connections to compressed-air mains from top of main. Provide drain leg and drain trap at end of each main and branch and at low points. h. Install piping to permit valve servicing. i. Install piping free of sags and bends. j. Install unions, adjacent to each valve and at final connection to each piece of equipment and machine. k. Install sleeves and escutcheons for piping penetrations of walls, ceilings, and floors as necessary. l. The fixing clips shall allow axial movement of the pipe to compensate for system expansion and contraction. m.horizontal and vertical AIRpipe piping shall be supported by AIRpipe pipe clips. Hanger rods to be solid with only enough thread for the connection ends. Hangers to be spaced at intervals as described herein, as required to avoid sag, prevent vibration, and allow accurate leveling or grading. 1. Single loop system A) Installing flexible hose in the middle of a pipe run. The distance between pipe clip and the connector should be appropriately sized. Flexible hose B) Installing flexible hose at the corner of a long pipe run 2) Multiloop pipeline Reserve adequate distance from system corners to walls and fixed structures. Consider flexibility for drops from the main header. Note that a hose can be used to compensate for temperature changes at the corners. Compensating for the effects of expansion or contraction. For deformation part, reserve 11.8'' to 19.6'' for stretch. Pipe clips The distance between pipe clip and the corner should be approximately 6' or larger. The distance between pipe clip and the corner should be large than 6.56' x0 328' x1 Compensating for the effects of thermal variation. 656' 33/34
