How do you determine which type is best? To help you make your decision a little easier, take a closer look at some of the benefits AIRtrust® aluminum piping offers and why it may be the right choice for your compressed air system:

● Minimized Leakage: Traditional threaded piping connections are more prone to leaks due to system vibration and corrosion. This can cause your compressor to use up more energy since it has to work harder and longer to produce the desired results caused by leakage, resulting higher utility costs. Conversely, fittings that are used with the AIRtrust® aluminum piping system can ensure a secure fit between joints and are far less likely to leak. Thus, you can avoid a costly problem while improving your productivity.

● Corrosion-Resistant: While steel or copper piping for use as your compressed air systems are better alternatives than relying on PVC piping, which may be illegal in some regions, their purchase and installation costs are very high. Unlike these traditional piping materials, aluminum piping contains corrosion-resistant properties that provide optimal air flow and improve the overall air quality. By eliminating corrosion and rusting throughout your piping system, you can also ensure your energy costs remain low.

● Low Maintenance and Installation Costs: Aluminum piping is easier to install and modify compared to other pipe systems for several reasons. The material is much lighter than a traditional steel or copper pipe and aluminum piping is supplied ready for use, further reducing installation, modification and labour costs. Thanks to its quick connect components, there is no need to use special equipment or hire skilled workers to install your aluminum piping system. When you build your system using aluminum piping, you can ensure that your compressed air system is delivering cleaner air.
