General
Prior to the installation of a Transair® compressed air
distribution system, the installer should ensure that the
installation area complies with any regulations applicable
to areas exposed to explosive hazards (in particular
the effect of static electricity in a silo area). Transair®
should be installed downstream of the compressed air
receiver, or after the dryer. 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
use only Transair® components and accessories, in
particular Transair® pipe clips and fixture clamps. The
technical properties of the Transair® components, as
described in the Transair catalog, must be respected.
Pressurizing the System
Once the Transair® installation has been installed and
prior to pressurizing, the installer should complete
all tests, inspections and compliance checks as
stated in any contract and according to sound
engineering practice and current local regulations.
Transair® Pipe and Hoses
Transair® pipe should be protected from mechanical impact,
particularly if exposed to 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.
Expansion/Contraction
Expansion and contraction of the system should be
calculated prior to installation. The system designer
and installer should calculate the elongation or
retraction of each Transair line according to the
recommendations in this installation guide.
Component assembly
Transair® components are provided with assembly
instructions for their correct use - simply follow the
methods and recommendations stated in this document.
Pipe-to-pipe and male connectors in Ø 1/2", Ø 1" and Ø 1 1/2" can be immediately connected to Transair pipe – simply push the pipe into the connector up to the connection mark. The gripping ring of each fitting is then automatically secured and the connection is safe.
Pipe-to-pipe and male connectors in Ø 2" and Ø 2 1/2" can be quickly connected to Transair aluminum pipe by means of a snap ring. This secures the connection between the nut and the pipe – tightening of the nuts secures the final assembly.
Pipe-to-pipe and male connectors in Ø 3", Ø 4" and Ø 6" can be quickly connected to Transair aluminum pipe. Position the pipes to be connected within a Transair cartridge and close/ tighten a Transair clamp.
