Way To Run Air Through A Shop FARM SHOP Miscellaneous Setting up a shop for air-powered tools is fast and easy with Duratec Airline from IPEX An aluminum core with inner and outer layers of high-density polyethylene HDPE combines the best features of metal and plastic The inner and outer linings eliminate problems common to metal air lines
The rigid aluminum core bends and holds position where desired The exterior and interior HDPE layers protect the aluminum core from rusting scale pitting corrosion and even light impact
The unique design is 75 percent lighter than traditional copper or schedule 40 carbon steel pipe The HDPE resistance to scale and lack of rust or corrosion eliminates clogging of lines as well as tools and fixtures It also reduces friction that can cause pressure drops and airflow restrictions
The composite airline is available in 4 sizes from 3/8-in to 1-in and can handle air pressure from 200 psi at 73üF to 160 psi at 140ü F It comes in 100 and 300-ft rolls for longer runs without connections
Line installation and installation of fittings is simple The nickel-plated brass or stainless steel fittings use double O-ring seals for extended life The fittings are both quickly assembled or removed No threading fusing or cementing is required
To install a fitting simply remove the nut and split ring from the fitting and push them onto the pipe Using a Duratec beveling tool enlarge the pipe for the fitting and slip the fitting into the pipe Slide the O-ring and the nut back over the end of the pipe and tighten down over the fitting
