RapidAir FastPipe Installation Instructions

Modular Aluminum Compressed Air Piping Installation Instructions
PLANNING/LAYOUT
Before beginning the installation, create a plan as to the location of the air compressor and where you are
going to mount the compressed air outlets. On the plan locate outlets, tees, and elbows.

AIR COMPRESSOR

Use a flexible jumper hose from the air compressor to the filter regulator unit to reduce vibration to the
FastPipe System.
FILTER REGULATOR
A filter regulator unit is reccomended to keep
contaminants out of the air system and to allow for
pressure adjustment.
PRESSURE RATINGS
The FastPipe system has a maximum working pressure
of 190 psi and a temperature range from 0 to 140 deg F.
ASSEMBLY OF THREADED COMPONENTS
Assemble all NPT threads with two wraps of teflon tape
and then PIPE SEALANT which prevents thread galling.
FLAT SURFACE INSTALLATION
• Hangers or mounting clips should be no more than
10 ft apart and one must be at least 6" from a fitting
Pipe Clip
• Use pipe clips to secure pipe to any flat surface with
mounting screw
• Ceiling or wall mount
• Clip has 5/16" thru hole and hex bore for a 5/16" hex nut
• Hex nut serves at a backer for screws
• Use #10 Drywall Screw or Tapcon
• In horizontal installations, mount clip pivot tab up
