Our range of pipework systems
Galvanised Pipework Systems
Galvanised pipework remains a preferred choice for heavy-duty and harsh industrial environments. Known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, galvanised systems are commonly used in industries such as concrete production, manufacturing, and waste management.
- Benefits of galvanised pipework include:
- Exceptional durability and corrosion resistance
- High mechanical strength to withstand industrial demands
- Safe and long-lasting performance
- Available in a wide range of sizes from ½” upwards
- Full system design and specification service available
Galvanised pipework offers a traditional, proven solution where ruggedness and longevity are critical.
Stainless Steel Pipework
For industries where hygiene and air purity are paramount, stainless steel pipework is the ideal solution. Particularly suited to dental, pharmaceutical, and food production environments, our stainless steel crimp systems provide a clean, corrosion-free compressed air delivery network.
- Benefits of stainless steel pipework include:
- Corrosion-free and contamination-free operation
- Reduced friction for more efficient air movement
- ISO 8573-1 certification for high air purity standards
- Silicone-free and Teflon-free construction
- Quick and easy installation without debris or particle contamination
- Available in sizes from 15mm to 28mm
Stainless steel pipework is essential for critical applications where maintaining a sterile, high-quality compressed air supply is non-negotiable.
Aluminium Pipework Systems
Aluminium pipework is fast becoming the industry standard for compressed air systems due to its many operational advantages. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and quick to install, aluminium systems offer excellent performance and flexibility for a wide range of industries.
- Benefits of aluminium pipework include:
- Fast and straightforward installation
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- No corrosion or oxidation issues
- Capable of handling pressures up to 16 bar
- Colour-coded RAL 5012 blue for easy identification
- Ability to add additional outlets easily at a later date
- Compatibility with all types of existing pipework systems
Aluminium pipework is available in a wide range of sizes, from 20mm up to 158mm, and is certified to ISO 8573-1 standards for compressed air purity. Aluminium tubing, straight connectors, elbows, tees, in-line ball valves, and stud connectors all form part of a fully integrated system.
Aluminium and Viton seals used in the fittings are fully compatible with all compressor oils, making aluminium pipework a versatile choice for modern compressed air systems.

Why Correct Compressed Air Pipework Matters
The performance of any compressed air system depends heavily on the design of the compressed air pipework. Poorly designed air pipework systems can create pressure drops, increase energy consumption, restrict airflow, and place unnecessary strain on compressors.
A professionally designed compressed air piping network ensures air reaches every point of use at the correct pressure and volume. This improves equipment performance, reduces running costs, and helps future-proof your installation as your business grows.
At Compressor Care, every compressed air pipework system is designed around your airflow requirements, operating pressures, future expansion plans, and site layout. By selecting the correct pipe sizes, materials, and routing methods, we create efficient pipework systems that maximise reliability and minimise long-term operating costs.

Compressed Air Pipework Questions and Answers
The choice of pipework depends largely on the environment, application, and specific system requirements.
- Galvanised pipework is ideal for heavy-duty or harsh environments where durability and corrosion resistance are crucial.
- Stainless steel pipework is essential where air purity, hygiene, and contamination prevention are critical, such as in food, dental, or pharmaceutical sectors.
- Aluminium pipework offers lightweight, flexible installation with high corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for general industrial applications and new builds.
At Compressor Care NW Ltd, we assess your needs carefully and recommend the most suitable pipework material to ensure long-term reliability and system performance.
Yes, in many cases new pipework can be professionally connected to existing compressed air systems. Aluminium pipework, for example, can be easily adapted to integrate with most older pipe materials, helping you upgrade sections without a full system replacement. However, compatibility, pressure ratings, and pipe sizing must be carefully considered to maintain system efficiency and avoid pressure loss.
