Air compressor pipework & Installation

Design and installation of high quality industrial air compressor pipework to keep your compressors running at the optimal performance.

Commercial & industrial pipework installations for factory compressed air systems built to last

ReddiAir uses leading aircom pipework for all of our installations leaving you with a system that is easily added to and completely dynamic. Our engineers use aluminum aircom pipe with solid ABS intermediates which makes a much stronger, longer-lasting system, there is also no internal corrosion of the pipework keeping air flow to a maximum many years after installation.

Pipework Options

Overview

Galvanised Pipework

Pros of galvanised steel pipework

Durability: Galvanized steel is strong and resistant to mechanical damage, making it suitable for industrial environments.
Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized coating provides some protection against rust, particularly in dry air systems.
Cost-Effective: Generally cheaper than stainless steel and aluminum.

Cons of galvanised steel pipework

Limited Corrosion Resistance: Over time, the galvanized coating can degrade, especially in systems exposed to moisture, leading to rust and contamination
Difficult to Install: Galvanized steel requires threading or welding, which increases installation time and cost.
Heavy: The material is bulky and harder to manage compared to alternatives like plastic or aluminum.

Plastic PVC Pipework

Pros of Plastic (PVC, PEX pipework

Lightweight: Easy to handle and install, reducing labor costs.
Corrosion-Free: Plastic does not rust or corrode, ensuring clean air delivery.
Cost-Effective: Often the most affordable material for smaller systems.
Flexible: PEX systems are adaptable and easy to modify.

Cons of Plastic (PVC, PEX pipework

Pressure Limitations: Plastic pipes may not withstand high-pressure systems, especially PVC, which can fail under stress.
Temperature Sensitivity: Plastic may deform or degrade in extreme temperatures
Regulatory Restrictions: Some plastics, like PVC, are not approved for use in compressed air systems in certain regions due to safety concerns

Aluminium Pipework

Pros of Aluminium

Lightweight: Easy to install and transport, making it ideal for large systems.
Corrosion Resistant: Aluminum resists rust, ensuring clean air and minimal contamination.
Smooth Interior Surface: Reduces friction, leading to improved airflow and energy efficiency.
Modular Design: Many aluminum systems come with modular fittings, allowing quick and easy assembly or reconfiguration.

Cons of Aluminium

Higher Initial Cost: Aluminum pipes are more expensive than galvanized steel or plastic upfront.
Less Durable: While corrosion-resistant, aluminum can be prone to dents and physical damage in harsh environments.
Requires Special Fittings: Installation often necessitates specific fittings, adding to overall costs.

Stainless Steel Pipework

Pros of Stainless Steal

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for systems exposed to moisture, chemicals, or humid environments.
High Strength: Withstands high pressures and temperatures, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Longevity: Stainless steel is highly durable, offering a long service life with minimal maintenance.
Clean Air Quality: Non-corrosive properties ensure no contamination in the air supply.

Cons of Stainless Steel

Expensive: Stainless steel is one of the most costly materials, both in terms of material and installation.
Difficult Installation: Requires skilled labor and specialized tools for welding or fitting connections.
Heavy: Heavier than aluminum or plastic, which can make installation more labor-intensive.

Copper Pipework

Pros of Copper

Corrosion Resistance: Copper is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring clean and uncontaminated air.
Thermal Stability: Excellent for systems exposed to high temperatures.
Smooth Interior: Reduces friction, improving airflow efficiency and reducing pressure drops.
Aesthetics: Copper has a professional and polished appearance.

Cons of Copper

High Cost: Copper is expensive to purchase and install due to material and labor costs.
Prone to Theft: Copper is a valuable material and may be targeted for theft in some areas.
Limited Pressure Capability: While suitable for low- and medium-pressure systems, it may not handle high-pressure applications as effectively as stainless steel.

Conclusion

We will help you design and decide on the pipework you want and need

Each material offers distinct advantages and drawbacks, and the best choice depends on the specific requirements of your compressed air system, such as pressure, environment, budget, and long-term goals.

• For cost-conscious systems: Plastic or galvanized steel may be sufficient for light-duty, dry environments.

•For high-performance systems: Stainless steel or aluminum are better suited for durability and efficiency.

•For aesthetic or low-pressure systems: Copper provides a clean and professional solution.
