What is EZAir ?
• Low cost aluminium piping system– Higher flow rates– Safe, secure, and leak proof– Reduced pressure loss
• Simple push to connect fittings– Easy to install piping – Easy to reconfigure system
EZAir Markets
• For all compressed air systems downstream of the air receiver
• Small to medium body shops
• Light industrial manufacturing and assembly
• Dealers/resellers

28mm – 22mm –15mm ReducersProvide a simple solution to interchange between:
28mm piping and fittings to 22mm piping and fittings or 22mm piping and fittings to 15mm piping and fittings

15mm and 22mm Stem ElbowsEnables tight 90-degree turns from the outlet of any 15mm or 22mm fitting
How do the fittings work?
• Simple push-to-connect system• Collet gripper has stainless steel teeth that
bite into tubing• “O” ring provides permanent leak-proof seal
Tubing
• EZAir line promotes use of non-anodized tubing
• Anodized tubing is too hard for stainless collet to bite into tubing
• Non anodized tubing makes installation simple and requires very little instruction
Non-Anodized Tubing• Achieves better air quality delivery than
black steel or galvanized tubing
• Equal quality to that of copper tubing
• Non-anodized tubing could oxidize if moisture is allowed to lay in the piping
• Will build up white powder to self protect against corrosion
EZAir Tubing• 10 foot tubing lengths sold in pack quantities of 10
• Shorter lengths - less handling in warehouse
• Lower cost and easier transportation
• Less storage space needed, easier for distributors to stock
• Tubing can still be formed with pipe bender
Assembly of Pipe & Fittings
• It is essential that all installers and users of the EZAir system have a copy of our installation instructions.
• It is vital that the procedures stated in the instructions are followed for a safe and secure working system.
Tube Preparation• Tubing must be cut square.• Use a suitable pipe cutter to ensure
that the ends of the tubing are free from any burrs that might damage the “O” ring
Assembly of 15mm and 22mm fittings
• Make sure the tube ends are cut square
• Verify the piping and fittings are clean
• Simply push the pipe until it reaches a stopping point in the fitting
• Pull on the pipe to check that fitting is secure.
Assembly
Check
Assembly of 28mm Fittings
• Prepare tubing
• Loosen screw cap 1/4 turn
• Insert tubing until it reaches internal stop
• Push tubing until it reaches internal stop and turn screw cap until tight on tubing
28mm assembly
Disconnecting 28mm Tubing
• Turn screw cap counter-clockwise 1/4 turn
• Push in collet & pull on pipe at the same time
Disconnection
Piping Capacities• 15mm 36scfm @ 103psig (7 bar)• 15mm 38scfm @ 118psig (8 bar)• 15mm 42scfm @ 147psig (10 bar)

• 1 psi loss per 30 meters (100ft) for a straight line• .5 psi loss per 30 meters (100ft) for a loop system
EZAir Testing• Tested to ANSI B31.1
• 4 x burst - 600 psig test
• 1.5 times leak - 225psi test
• No leakage at any pressure - up to failure
• 150psig (10BAR) Maximum working pressure allowed to comply with ANSI B31.1 testing standard
EZAir Endurance Testing
• EZAir line tested in temperature chamber between :-20°C (-4°F) to +60°C (+140°F)
• Cycle tested every 5 seconds (0-175psig)
• Temperature range cycled every 2 hours
• Over 1,000,000 cycles completed so far
Competition
• Steel pipe – needs skill, tooling, heavy and time consuming to install
• Copper – needs skill, costly and time consuming to install
• Plastic pipe & hose – not durable and very dangerous
