What is Duratec pipe?

What is Duratec pipe?

Duratec® is a completely clean industrial compressed air piping system that is especially suited for the food and beverage industry and hospitality sector. Duratec® fittings are also protected with a corrosion-resistant, industrial-strength nickel plating and include double o-ring seals ensuring joint integrity.

What is the function air piping system?

The purpose of the compressed air piping system is to deliver compressed air to the points of usage. The compressed air needs to be delivered with enough volume, appropriate quality, and pressure to properly power the components that use the compressed air.

What kind of pipe is best for compressed air?

A great choice for compressed air piping is stainless steel because it is strong and resists corrosion. Like with copper, corrosion resistance in stainless steel piping produces a cleaner, more consistent stream of air.

Can you use PEX for air lines?

My personal preference for small-shop compressed-air piping is PEX. It’s lightweight and flexible, and the fittings literally snap together. Because of its flexibility, you can often place PEX where it would be difficult to install rigid pipe, such as in finished walls and ceilings.

Can I use PEX tubing for compressed air lines?

Can galvanized pipe be used for air lines?

Not Recommended for Compressed Air Galvanized piping is commonly used for water distribution and for general plumbing. However, it is not recommended for use with compressed air. Galvanized coating resists moisture in compressed air but pieces of the coating will flake off and end up in your tools.

What pipe is best for compressed air?

How much psi can PEX?

PEX-a pipe can withstand a burst pressure of around 800 psi (almost two times the requirement for ASTM F876, the standard specification for PEX tubing). So neither the pipe nor the fittings are weak points, making for an extremely high-performing system in domestic water and hydronic piping applications.

What is the length of a Duratec pipe?

Duratec pipe comes in long 100 foot or 300 foot coils, which significantly reduces the number of joints in your system. Duratec fittings feature unique double o-ring seals to ensure long-term joint integrity.

What is driveduratec compressed air?

Duratec is an innovative compressed air and inert gas distribution system. Traditional metallic compressed air systems are a main cause of unnecessary energy use, excessive wear and tear on compressors and high consumption of compressor oils and filters. The culprits?

What is directduratec ®?

Duratec ® is a semi flexible tubing that comes in a 100 ft or 300 ft coil and uses compression fittings for leak proof performance. It is designed for efficient installation in diverse settings, from small shops to breweries, bakehouses, and large manufacturing facilities. It delivers clean compressed air, inert gas, and welding gas.

What is a bendable pipe system?

Duratec® Airline Pipe System / Bendable Pipe. Duratec® is an innovative compressed air and inert gas distribution system designed to be leak proof, installed quickly, easily, and maintained cost-effectively.
