No. PVC piping is not recommended for compressed air applications because it can become brittle and fail under pressure. OSHA has restricted the use of PVC for compressed air systems in many applications due to safety concerns. Aluminum compressed air piping provides a safer, longer-lasting alternative designed specifically for compressed air and inert gas distribution.
Yes. TruLink aluminum piping systems can connect to existing black iron, copper, or other threaded piping systems using transition fittings with National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections.
