Installation Instructions
THE GOLDEN RULES OF INSTALLATION
Prior to the installation of a Transair
®
compressed air distribution system, plan to install an adequate air filtration and
drying system. Flexible Transair
®
hose can be installed at the start of the system in order to eliminate any sources of
vibration and to facilitate maintenance operations.
When maintaining or modifying a Transair
®
system, the relevant section should be vented prior to the commencement of any
work.
Installers should only use Transair
®
components and accessories, in particular Transair
®
pipe clips and fixture clamps.
The technical properties of the Transair
®
components, as described in the Transair
®
catalogue, must be respected.
Transair
®
pipe should be protected from mechanical impact, particularly if exposed to potential collision with fork-lift trucks
or when sited in an environment with moving overhead loads.
Similarly, rotation of the pipe and pipe supports should be avoided.
Transair
®
pipe must not be welded.
Flexible Transair
®
hoses should be used in accordance with the recommendations of the installation guidelines of this
catalogue (pages 93 to 97).
NB: for bending a Transair
®
aluminium pipe, please refer to page 110 of this catalogue.
Transair
®
components are provided with assembly instructions for their correct use - simply follow the methods and
recommendations stated in this document.
Expansion and contraction of the system are automatically catered for by correct installation. The system designer and
installer should calculate the expansion or contraction of each Transair
®
line according to the recommendations in this
installation guide.
