Modular Aluminum Compressed Air Piping Installation Instructions 3/4”-2”
PLANNING/LAYOUT
Before beginning the installation, 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 locate outlets, tees, and elbows.
AIR COMPRESSOR
Use a flexible jumper hose from the air compressor to the filter regulator unit to reduce vibration to the
FastPipe System.
FILTER REGULATOR
A filter regulator unit is reccomended to keep
contaminants out of the air system and to allow for
pressure adjustment.
PRESSURE RATINGS
The FastPipe system has a maximum working pressure
of 190 psi and a temperature range from 0 to 140 deg F.
ASSEMBLY OF THREADED COMPONENTS
Assemble all NPT threads with two wraps of teflon tape
and then PIPE SEALANT which prevents thread galling.
