PLANNING/LAYOUT
Before beginning the installation, create a plan as to the
location of the air compressor and where you are going
to mount the compressed air outlets. On the plan
locate outlets, tees, and elbows if needed.
AIR COMPRESSOR
Use a flexible jumper hose from the air compressor to
the filter regulator unit to reduce vibration to the
Maxline tubing.
FILTER REGULATOR
Maxline tubing is resistant to most common petroleum
based compressor oils. Some new synthetic oils
will reduce the life of the tubing. A high quality filter
regulator is recommended to catch oils
entering the air system.
BENDING THE TUBING
The Maxline tubing can be bent to hold any
shape. Care should be taken not to kink
the tubing, but rather bend the tubing in a
sweeping radius around corners and
obstacles. Elbow fittings are available for
sharp corners.
ASSEMBLY OF THREADED COMPONENTS
Assemble all NPT threads with two wraps of
teon tape and then PIPE SEALANT which
prevents thread galling.
TUBING INSTALLATION
Maxline tubing will expand and contract
slightly with changes in temperature.
Use wall clips spaced 5 ft for 3/4” and 1“
tubing, 3 ft for 1/2” tubing.
Always pressure test system
before closing up walls.
