Connection Technology

AIRpipe, the fourth-generation of pipe connection design uses pipe clamps, surface sealing ring and convex pipe as whole parts, which achieves a quick fit with very good sealing. Compared to an O-type sealing ring, this AIRpipe fourth-generation of sealing ring upgrades to surface contact sealing: performance is more reliable and life time is doubled compared to line type sealing.

Grab Ring Clamping Style Connection – DN 20-50mm

• metal clamshell union connector, quick install & re-assembly,
• grab ring with surface contact, no shrinking on inner diameter,
• surface contact, active concentric sealing, leak free,
• superior reliability & longevity, 20 years’ lifespan.

Lugged Ring Clamping Style Connection – DN 63-200mm

• metal clamshell union connector, quick install & re-assembly,
• convex ring, no shrinking on inner diameter,
• surface contact, active concentric sealing, leak free,
• superior reliability & longevity, 20 years’ lifespan.

Customer benefits

AIRpipe, the full performance compressed air pipe system is a complete, high quality ring main solution, combining flexibility with efficiency for quick and easy installations.

Quick & Easy to install

• no detailed technical training required,
• the pipe and the joints can be assembled quickly without any preparation; no welding, gluing or crimping needed,
• lightweight, easy to cut pipes: easy to handle on site.

AIRpipe fittings : A Flexible Solution

• AIRpipe fittings can be disconnected and re-used,
• quick drops can be added at any time, adapting to changes in the production line,
• as the connections are made from the side, the risk of condensate waste is eradicated,
• high quality Terminal Wall Connector complete with manual drain and twin outlet connection,
• AIRpipe’s extensive range of pipe and fittings enables a bespoke compressed air system to be built which can meet specific production needs.

Durable & Resistant: Low Pressure Drop

• high quality, smooth inner surface will never rust. It ensures a constant flow of clean compressed air and guarantees safety at the point of use,
• the high performance sealing system ensures a leak free seal,
• low friction inner surface eliminates airflow restriction, reducing the pressure drop and saving energy,
• AIRpipe is corrosion, vibration and heat resistant; the air quality is preserved throughout the whole system up to the point of use, protecting the downstream equipment and the manufacturing process.

Seamless Compatibility

• AIRpipe can connect seamlessly to the female thread, male thread and flange joints,
• full-flow design on the valve allows quick installation and saves energy.
