- Air compressors with RP 1/4″ outlets
- Pneumatic hoses and quick couplers
- Air tools, blow guns, and spray equipment
- Pressure regulators and filter units
- Manifolds and distribution systems
- Standard BSP pneumatic components
Installation Guidelines
- Preparation: Ensure both male threads are clean and free from debris or old sealant.
- Sealing: Apply PTFE tape (3-4 wraps) or liquid thread sealant to male threads in the direction of thread rotation.
- Assembly: Hand-tighten the fitting onto the first component, then use appropriate spanners to achieve final torque.
- Connection: Thread the second component into the opposite end, ensuring proper alignment.
- Testing: Pressurize the system gradually and check for leaks using soapy water solution.
