FAQs

Can I use this for drinking water?

No, this system is explicitly designated for compressed air and non-potable water movement.

Does the kit include enough pipe for a full ring main?

The kit contains 12 lengths of 3-meter pipe, providing a total of 36 meters of coverage for your installation.

Do I need to solder or glue the pipes?

No, the SharkBite system is a mechanical push-fit design that requires no solvents, glues, or soldering.

What is the size of the outlet threads on the wall boxes?

The wall boxes are equipped with 3/4 inch thread connections.

Can I expand the system later?

Yes, the modular nature of the SharkBite fittings allows you to purchase additional pipe and fittings to extend your air network as your workshop needs grow.

How do I ensure the pipe is inserted far enough?

Always use the included depth gauge to mark your pipe before insertion; push the pipe until the mark is flush against the fitting body.

Troubleshooting

Air leakage at the fitting connection

Ensure the pipe is cut squarely and fully inserted into the fitting to the marked depth. Check the pipe end for burrs or damage that may prevent the O-ring from sealing.

Pipe will not insert into the fitting

Verify the pipe end is not deformed or oval-shaped from the cutting process and ensure no debris is stuck inside the fitting.

Difficulty removing a fitting

Ensure you are using the correct size 28mm disconnect clip provided with the kit. Press the clip firmly against the fitting collet to release the internal teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional threaded or copper piping
  • Modular design allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration of workshop layout
  • Robust brass and aluminium components offer excellent durability
  • No specialized plumbing tools or solvents required for assembly

Cons

  • Not suitable for human consumption water supply
  • Requires precise measurement and cutting of aluminium pipes
  • Higher initial investment compared to flexible polyurethane hosing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your installation, map your ring main layout to minimize the number of bends and maximize efficiency. Ensure the aluminium pipes are cut cleanly at a 90-degree angle, as jagged edges can damage the internal O-rings in the fittings. To maintain the system, periodically check the pipe clips for signs of loosening due to vibration from heavy machinery and inspect connection points for any audible air leaks. If a fitting needs to be moved, use the provided disconnect clip to release the pipe collar; do not force or pull the pipes without engaging the disconnect tool to prevent damage to the fitting internals. Always ensure the system is depressurized before performing any maintenance or disassembly.
