compressed air pipe lines

Pneumatic air pipe line materials

For compressed air pipework we generally recommend either galvanised steel or aluminium pipework. Each has its merits which we have outlined below:-

Galvanised Steel air pipe

Stronger pipework
More resilient to knocks and bumps
Often more cost effective for larger systems
Greater choice of fittings and pipe sizes
Suitable for higher pressures

Aluminium air pipe

Cleaner (No cutting oil required)
More aesthetically pleasing
Often more cost effective for small installations
In some circumstances it can be easier to expand Aluminium systems at a later date.
Can be installed without a specialised threading machine or welder


Which type of system is best suited to your application really depends on to many factors to discuss here but we can offer free impartial advice via telephone 01480 811997 or via our contact form.

We can also install systems with flexible reinforced PVC hose and ABS plastic where this is required.
