The Alu Air compressed air piping system is a high-performance aluminium reticulation solution designed for efficient, reliable air distribution in industrial and commercial environments. Available in sizes from 20mm to 63mm, it combines lightweight aluminium pipe with quick-install, push-on fittings for fast installation and long-term flexibility.

Features

1 Rust-Free Aluminium System

Featuring a durable anodised coating, the aluminium pipe is suitable for both interior and exterior installations. Unlike black or galvanised pipe, it won’t develop rust that restricts airflow over time. Alu Air naturally forms a protective internal oxidation layer, making it highly resistant to corrosion and ensuring long-term performance.

2 Push-On, Reusable Fittings

The system uses lightweight yet robust nylon or aluminium push-lock fittings that can be easily disassembled and reused. This allows the system to be extended, reconfigured, or fully dismantled as compressed air requirements change, without unnecessary waste or downtime.

3 Double-Locking Clamp Technology

Alloy fittings incorporate a double-locking clamp system to deliver a secure, high-strength connection. Designed for reliability, the system supports operating pressures of up to 40 bar.

4 Fire-Resistant Construction

The Alu Air metal fitting range has a melting point of 600°C, providing excellent resistance to fire damage and added peace of mind in demanding industrial environments.

Why is aluminium better than steel for compressed air piping?

Aluminium does not rust or corrode internally, helping maintain smooth airflow and consistent pressure over time. Unlike steel pipe, it won’t contaminate the air supply or increase pressure drop due to internal corrosion, making it a more energy-efficient and low-maintenance option.

What sizes does the Alu Air compressed air piping system come in?

The Alu Air system is available in pipe sizes from 20mm to 63mm, with larger diameters available for high-flow industrial applications. This range allows the system to suit everything from small workshops to large manufacturing plants.

How do I choose the correct compressed air pipe size?

Correct pipe sizing depends on airflow requirements, compressor capacity, and the distance to the furthest outlet. Using the correct diameter helps reduce pressure loss and improve system efficiency. Industrial Air Systems offers a piping calculator to help determine the optimal ring main pipe size.

Can Alu Air piping be expanded or modified in the future?

Yes. Alu Air uses reusable push-on fittings that allow the system to be easily extended, reconfigured, or dismantled as compressed air requirements change, without cutting or replacing the entire system.
