Product Overview: Prevost Piping System (PPS) – Blue Aluminum Pipe
The Prevost Blue Aluminum Pipe (PPS) is a premium, high-performance piping solution engineered specifically for compressed air distribution networks. Part of the innovative Prevost Piping System, this 100% aluminum pipe is designed to replace heavy, traditional steel or copper lines with a lightweight, corrosion-free alternative that maximizes airflow efficiency.
Distinguished by its industry-standard RAL 5012 Blue electrostatic coating, this pipe allows for immediate visual identification of compressed air lines, ensuring safety and compliance in complex industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Optimized Airflow & Efficiency: The pipe features a perfectly smooth, calibrated aluminum interior that ensures laminar fluid flow. This significantly creates a low friction coefficient, minimizing pressure drops and reducing energy costs for compressors.
- 100% Corrosion Resistant: Constructed from high-quality extruded aluminum alloy (EN AW 6060 T6) and treated both internally and externally. It is immune to rust and oxidation, ensuring the air supply remains clean and free of particulate contamination.
- Quick & Safe Installation: Weighing a fraction of traditional steel pipe, the PPS system is easy to handle, cut, and install. It requires no welding, gluing, or threading—significantly reducing labor time and eliminating fire hazards during installation.
- Leak-Free Performance: Designed to work seamlessly with Prevost’s “PPS Grip Concept” fittings, ensuring a secure, leak-proof seal that eliminates wasted air and energy.
- Durable & Rugged: Resistant to mechanical shock, UV rays, and thermal variations, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments ranging from workshops to large-scale manufacturing plants.
