Aluminum Air Pipe System
Lightweight, corrosion-free, and ultra-fast to install -- AirLite delivers precision-engineered aluminum piping for compressed air and industrial gas applications worldwide.
What is the AirLite System?
AirLite is PiPress's dedicated aluminum compressed air pipe system, engineered for industrial environments that demand speed, cleanliness, and long-term reliability. With a push-to-connect and press-fit modular design, AirLite eliminates welding, threading, and gluing -- reducing installation time by up to 3× compared to traditional steel systems.
Zero Corrosion
Anodized aluminum alloy construction ensures zero rust, no oil contamination, and clean compressed air throughout the system's lifetime.
Rapid Installation
Modular push-to-connect fittings require no special tools, no welding, and no threading -- dramatically cutting labor time and project costs.
Energy Efficient
Smooth inner bore minimizes pressure drop and turbulence, reducing compressor energy consumption and improving overall system efficiency.
Why Choose AirLite?
Every component is designed with industrial performance, operator safety, and long-term value in mind.
Lightweight Aluminum Alloy (6061-T6)
Up to 50% lighter than equivalent steel systems -- reduces structural load and simplifies overhead installations.
Leak-Proof Push-Fit & Press Connection
Dual-seal EPDM/NBR O-ring design ensures airtight connections up to 16 bar -- verified by pressure testing at the factory.
Full Modular Fitting Range
Elbows, tees, reducers, end caps, valves, and outlet points -- all compatible within the AirLite system for flexible layout design.
Wide Temperature Range
Suitable for operating temperatures from -20°C to +80°C, covering diverse factory environments from cold storage to hot process areas.
Recyclable & Eco-Friendly
