Prevost Piping System - Full aluminium compressed air network
48Pages

What is a compressed air system? A compressed air system moves energy throughout a network to power workstations and machinery. Mount the ringmain of a Prevost 100% aluminum pipe system a minimum height of 8.2 ft. from the floor. Install smaller diameter “downpipes” or “drops” off the main line to terminate at distribution points throughout the network approximately 4 ft. from the floor. From these points various accessories can be attached (manifolds, safety couplings, filtration, hoses, etc.). SIZING A COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM When designing a system, consider the following: desired flow...

PREVOST PIPING SYSTEM 100% aluminum fittings Prevost designs and manufactures compact, high-performance fittings. POSITIONING arrow indicates pipe insertion depth IDENTIFICATION Logo etched on each fitting PRESSURE Maximum operating pressure (bar/psi) Manufacturing date DIAMETER Pipe outside diameter (mm/in) The PPS Grip Concept is based on two factors. The pipe is locked into the fitting with a stainless steel ring of teeth which penetrates the aluminum. The double-lobed, lubricated seal guarantees a secure connection and provides optimum results even in the harshest working conditions....

TAPPING FLANGE A tapping flange connects a down pipe (drop) to workstations. Its purpose is to replace a traditional "gooseneck" configuration and reduce condensates in the line. Flanges transport clean air from the side of the pipe to workstations. Any remaining condensates which remain at the bottom of the pipe are then evacuated via drains located throughout the system. Tapping flanges can quickly integrate into existing systems, no disassembly required. The flange is compact and equipped with an anti-rotation system which securely locks the fitting in place. TAPPING FLANGES BENT TAPPING...

Safety and energy savings REMOTE CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC SAFETY VALVE Compact and lightweight Easy to operate - even at ceiling height Quick to install 100% aluminum Fully pneumatic Available in Ø 1 1/2 - 2” - 3” - 4” Every compressed air installation, replacement, repair or retrofit should include at least one shut off valve. This shut off valve can quickly depressurize certain areas of the system in the event of emergency or if maintenance is necessary. By isolating only targeted areas of the system, productivity will not be lost. VALVE REMOTE CONTROL Several options to control the valve are...
