Installation Guidelines
1. 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.
2. Expansion and 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.
3. Situation to avoid: Installation within a solid mass (concrete, foam, etc.),
the hanging of any external equipment to Transair pipe, the use of Transair
for grounding or as a support for electrical equipment, and exposure to
chemicals that are incompatible.
4. When assembling Transair connectors, do not interchange the nuts
with different Transair bodies due to our calibration process.
1. Cutting the pipe:
■ place the pipe in the pipe cutter
■ position the blade onto the pipe
■ rotate the pipe cutter around the pipe
while gently tightening the wheel.
2. Carefully chamfer the outer edges.
3. Deburr the inner end of the pipe.
4. Trace the connection indicator using the marking tool.
Connection
To connect, simply insert the pipe into the connector up to the connection mark.
Pre-assembled Tightening Indicators for
1/2"(16.5mm), 1"(25mm) and 1 1/2"(40mm) Connectors
There are important visual markings on the bodies
and nuts of Transair® 1/2", 1" and 1 1/2" connectors.
These are represented by solid and empty arrows
and indicate the optimum torque. When assembling
Transair® connectors, the nuts are tightened to a predefined
torque on the body of the connector. This torque
guarantees the seal and safety of each connection.
Before using 1/2"(16.5mm), 1"(25mm) or 1 1/2"(40mm) connectors, ensure that
the arrow marks are correctly aligned with each other.
Disconnection
To disconnect, unscrew the nut by one half turn and remove the pipe.
Lateral Dismantling
Loosen the nuts located on the side of the pipe to be removed and slide them along the pipe. Then remove the pipe.
