|
| What
advantages does Garage Pak have over conventional pipe systems? |
| |
Garage Pak pipe systems are quick to install, and ready
for immediate pressurization. The aluminum pipe ensures a total absence
of corrosion which affects galvanized and carbon steel pipe.
The “full flow” design of components, low friction coefficient
of aluminum pipe and our leak free sealing technology, ensure optimal
and constant flow. Our pipe is lightweight, easy to maneuver for easy
on-site handling, yet rigid and long lasting.
No glues as is required for PVC (which is very dangerous and fragments
when burst occurs). No open flames required, as is required for copper
systems

| How
do the "Air Drops" work? |
| |
 Garage Pak offers two ways to install an air drop from the main pipe header. The simplest method is to use a tee. Simply cut the pipe in the location you wish to place the tee and insert a pipe section into the downward pointing end of the tee. If you prefer a hose drop (a hose coming off of the main pipe header), insert a stem connector into the downward pointing end of the tee. The stem connector has a 1/2" male NPT thread on the end, on which you can thread your hose end or a quick disconnect coupler.
Another air drop method uses the patented air drop bracket (quick assembly bracket or mini-bracket with thread). This fitting takes air near the top of the pipe ensuring no water condensate will find its way to your air tool or coupler. If you prefer to use an air drop bracket, you will need to drill a hole in the pipe at the location you want your air drop (Garage-Pak hole saw and drill needed for this operation).
Simply open the bracket and let the self-aligning o-ring seat itself in the pre-cut hole. Now tighten with a screwdriver. That’s it. If you’re using a pipe-to-pipe drop (Garage-Pak quick assembly bracket), add a length of pipe and connect to a double-ported wall bracket and you’re done. |

|
| How
do I hang the pipe? |
| |
Garage-Pak includes it’s own pipe hangers which
are very easy to use. Simply, install the hanger using the type of
anchor required for the situation, i.e. hollow wall, wood screw, cement
screw, etc. and snap the pipe into place. A hanger every five feet
is a good idea. |
| |
|
| What
are the components of the system? |
| |
 The
fittings are nylon 6-6, 30% glass fiber reinforced. The pipe is aluminum
6063-T5, powder coated, and supplied in nine foot lengths. Garage-Pak
is compatible with all known compressor lubricants including synthetics,
and guaranteed 100% silicone free. |
