Layout and Design
Maximize your flow by using less fittings in your design.
Pre-planning your layout before you begin installation will help
you install the system faster and using just the right amount
of fittings. To maximize your air flow we would recommend a
looped piping layout, this may not be necessary or convenient in
what you are planning. Create a plan as to the location of the air
compressor and where you are going to mount the compressed
air outlets. On the plan consider what fittings you will use where
or where you plan to bend the line to keep the continuous flow.
Do not install underground, or in concrete.
NOTICE:
If installing outside we recommend covering or painting
the tubing with water-based latex paint to protect from the
harmful UV rays.
Air Compressor
NOTICE:
DO NOT connect this kit directly to compressor. A ¾"
NPT Hydraulic Hose (not included) needs to be used to connect
the compressor to the regulator unit so vibration to the tubing is
minimized.
Filter Regulator
A high quality ¾" Filter regulator filter is recommended to catch
oils entering the air system. A filter regulator must be used.
Ratings
200 psi at 73°F 160 psi at 140°F ASTM F1281.
Bending the Tubing
The tubing can be bent to hold any shape. Care should be taken
not to kink the tubing, but rather bend the tubing in a sweeping
radius no less than 6"-8" around corners and obstacles. Elbow
fittings are available for sharp corners.
Threaded Components Assembly
Gather all threaded components and apply two wraps of PTFE
Tape on the threads. To prevent galling you may also apply a pipe
sealant.
Tubing and Wall Bracket Installation
Tubing will expand and contract slightly with changes in
temperature. Use wall clips spaced 5' for ¾" tubing.
Checking Installation
After tubing is installed be sure to check for air leaks. Pressurize
system with air, and spray soapy water solution onto each
connection. No foam or bubbles from solution should be present.
