RapidAir® FastPipe®

Aluminum Pipes for Compressed Air & Gasses


RapidAir® Compressed Air FastPipe®

FastPipe® is colored Blue for easy identification as compressed Air, Also available in Green for use with Gases.

  • Compression style fittings make installation simple.
  • Easily install in small shops to industrial plants.
  • Expand or modify your system with ease.
  • No corrosion in the pipe and fittings means longer tool life.
  • Cools hot compressed air quickly for better filter performance.
  • Smooth inner wall and free flowing fittings lower compressed air costs.
  • A Sealed connection means your compressor run time is less.

FastPipe® Is Not Designed For The Following:

  • Underground Burial
  • To electrically ground equipment
  • To be welded
  • To take violent impacts
  • To be used when the compressed air temperature is above 140 Degrees Farenheit
  • For environments of caustic or corrosive chemicals.

Safety Information

  • Compressed Air is dangerous if not used properly.
  • Do not point compressed air at yourself or others.
  • Always use eye protection.
  • Pressurize the system slowly.
  • Keep children away from system.
  • System must have a safety relief valve installed.
  • Turn off compressed air when not in use.
  • Check local building codes prior to installation.

Installation Recommendations For FastPipe®

  • Thoroughly read and follow all installation instructions.
  • Assemble all NPT Pipe Threads with two wraps of teflon tape and then pipe sealant which prevents thread galling.
  • Support the pipe with clips / hangers a maximum of 10ft spacing and on one side of each fitting.
  • Any machine/compressor plumbed to the Fastpipe must have a jumper hose to reduce vibration.
  • Any piping system will expand and contract with temperature changes. Use expansion joints to compensate for this movement of aluminum pipe in non-conditional buildings.
  • Do not use Fastpipe for pulsing desiccant dryers or other like equipment.
  • Caution installing inert gas bulk tank systems, Gas must be wanrmed up to fastpipe temperature range.
  • Use a strain relief attached to the building or any rubber hose drops attached to the piping.
  • Do not connect quick couplings for air hoses to reducing elbows or tee fittings. The repeated connecting/disconnecting could loosen the fittings.
  • Check that all fittings are tightened before pressurizing the system for the first time.
  • For initial installation pressurize system slowly to 50psi and check for leaks, then pressurize slowly to max 190psi.
  • After 24 hours of being pressurized, depresurize the system and retighten the compression nuts. Some settling may have occured, this is not an optional step in installation, it must be done.
  • Make sure compressor output temperature does not exceed 140 Degrees farenheit.
