Other Types of Air Piping

Stainless Steel – to minimize corrosion has a long and successful history – combines all strength and durability og black pipe. Victaulic fittings are installed with a rubber seal and bolted clamp.

Copper Pipe is commonly recommended for clean air, it works well, and it is expensive.

Black Pipe is the most commonly used pipe – it is strong and durable; but it will produce rust contamination.

Galvanized Pipe: commonly used for water distribution and for general plumbing; galvanized coating resists moisture in compressed air, but pieces of the coating will flake off (not recommended for compressed air).

PVC Pipe – not recommended for compressed air; though readily available and inexpensive. PVC gets brittle over time and can crack, break, or even shatter.
