View product →A Modular Alternative to Traditional Plant-Air Piping
AIRpipe combines corrosion-resistant aluminum pipe with a broad family of reusable fittings and high-flow connectors designed around industrial air and gas distribution.
Corrosion Resistant
Aluminum pipe helps avoid the internal corrosion associated with traditional ferrous piping in compressed-air service.
High-Flow Design
Smooth pipe interiors and full-flow fittings are designed to support efficient air delivery with reduced restriction.
Modular & Reusable
Many AIRpipe connectors can be dismantled, reassembled and reused when a line is changed or expanded.
Fast Installation
Lightweight pipe and mechanical connections can simplify routing compared with welded or threaded metallic pipe systems.
Broad Component Range
Pipe, unions, elbows, tees, adapters, valves, hangers and accessories support complete plant distribution layouts.
Recyclable Materials
AIRpipe's published submittal states that the materials used for its pipe and fittings are recyclable.

I am designing a new compressed-air distribution system
Start with the required flow, allowable pressure drop, system pressure, total run length and expected future expansion. From there, choose the main-line size and lay out the straight pipe, directional fittings, branch drops and isolation points.
- Use the master catalog to see the complete AIRpipe component family.
- Use the dimensions PDFs to verify fitting envelopes and space requirements.
- Use the submittal for published operating data and engineering information.

I am expanding an existing AIRpipe system
Identify the existing pipe size and the type of connector already in service. For a branch or extension, also confirm the new line size, direction of travel, required isolation valve and the threaded or flanged connection needed at the destination.
I need to replace a damaged fitting or section of pipe
Capture the AIRpipe part number if it is visible. If not, record the pipe outside diameter or nominal system size, fitting type, branch size, thread size and connection style. Photos are especially useful when identifying older or unfamiliar fittings.

Contact Tri-State Bearing for AIRpipe support →Frequently Asked Questions About AIRpipe USA
Quick answers for customers planning, expanding or repairing an AIRpipe aluminum piping system.
What is AIRpipe USA?
AIRpipe USA is a modular piping system built around aluminum pipe and mechanical fittings for industrial compressed-air, vacuum and compatible inert-gas distribution. Tri-State Bearing carries AIRpipe pipe, connectors, valves, adapters, branch fittings and installation accessories.
Can AIRpipe be used for compressed air, vacuum and inert gases?
According to AIRpipe's published submittal, the system is approved for compressed air, vacuum and inert gases including common industrial gas applications. Application suitability should still be verified against the specific media, pressure, temperature and project requirements.
What pressure is AIRpipe rated for?
AIRpipe's published working-pressure rating varies with pipe size. The submittal lists ratings up to 300 psi for smaller diameters, with lower published ratings for larger sizes. Use the submittal and the exact product data for the size being installed rather than applying one pressure rating to every component.
What is the published AIRpipe working-temperature range?
The AIRpipe submittal lists a working-temperature range of -4°F to +176°F. Verify the complete component and application requirements before installation.
Where can I find AIRpipe dimensions?
This page links both the AIRpipe Dimensions PDF and the AIRpipe Product Dimensions PDF, along with bending data and the master catalog.
Can Tri-State Bearing help identify an AIRpipe fitting from a photo or dimensions?
Yes. Provide the visible markings, nominal pipe size or outside diameter, fitting type, branch or thread size, and clear photos of the installed component. That information can help narrow the correct AIRpipe family and part number.
