Victaulic Connection for Brithing Air Piping
Victaulic Connection for Brithing Air Piping
(OP)
We have a project to install aluminum piping for Breathing Air application in our plant. I just wondering if Victaulic connections can be used on BA piping. Is there any restriction using this type of connections with respect to applicalbe codes?
The piping will be installed indoors; design pressure 150 psig, D. Temp: 150 degF, Operating Pressure 90 psig & O. Temp. 80 degF. Intention is to use Al for piping =>4NPS and Copper/CS for <3NPS.
Appreciate your thoughts/inputs

You will have to confirm the code requirements in the locale that you are working in. Don't believe that there is a specific code that covers Victaulic in this application. You may want to contact Victaulic.
Here is a discussion of some other issues:

Refer to the typical specification for such a system.

But for handling it is hard to beat Al. For clean air either is fine, just order it that way and it will come cleaned.
