       Easy to install Flow rates up to 8,000 cfm Lightweight Leak-free High structural strength Low pressure drop Simple connections
Features and Benefits
Introducing A New Evolution In Piping . . .
Simplair Evolution. Simplicity, Versatility, Performance In One Integrated System
In the past, compressed air users have been burdened by the limitations of traditional piping systems  difficult installation and modification, poor air quality, and high-pressure losses are all common problems. Now, Simplair solves these problems with its unique 110 mm (4") and 150 mm (6") Evolution System that makes installation fast, simple, and economical. Thanks to a revolutionary design, Simplair Evolution means big benefits for your business.         Low operation costs Fast installation Simple connections High flow performance Low pressure drop Outstanding structural strength Lightweight components Noncorrosive
Constructed of anodized aluminum extrusion, Evolution is a modular piping system thats ideal for compressed air installations of any size. Yet despite its quick, easy assembly, Evolution offers unexpected flow rates of up to 8,000 cfm for compressor room applications and even higher for most factory loop systems.
With Simplair Evolution, you gain advantages formerly unheard of in integrated piping systems.
Advantages
Flexible Design Superior Performance Easy Expansion High Air Quality Leak-Free Seals Lightweight Material Sleek Appearance
Evolutions modular design means quick, easy installation. Even system modifications can be completed in seconds, minimizing downtime. The smooth bore of Evolution tubing prevents high-pressure losses, and allows higher flow rates than traditional piping systems. Because outlets and connections can be made in seconds, expansion is simple with minimum cost and production disruptions. Each Evolution tube is anodized to prevent corrosion from forming inside pipes, affording contaminant-free air throughout the system. Our positive O ring seal ensures that leaks will not occur at any stage of the systems life. Evolution offers the same structural strength of traditional piping, but with less than a quarter of the weight, making it the perfect choice for roof structures, walls or machinery. Ergonomically designed to fit the demands of modern production facilities, Evolution can enhance any working environment.

Aluminium is a corrosion-resistant metal due to a film of aluminium oxide that occurs naturally on its surface. Anodizing is an applied finish by an electrochemical process. It thickens the natural oxide film on the aluminium and imparts to the metal surface the extreme hardness, corrosion and wear resistance of the oxide. Simplair is anodized to AA10 which signifies a 10 micron depth of anodizing.

The Ingersoll-Rand quick couplings have hardened wear points and load bearing areas (for steel nipples only) and precision-machined surfaces for durability in the toughest applications. Precision-molded seals form a tight seal for reliable operation, and hardened steel locking balls provide a strong connection with evenly distributed loads. The 3/8-inch body size couplers have larger orifices to minimize pressure drop. For a complete set, both a coupler and nipple of the same body size are required.

Ball Valves
Ball Valves
Ingersoll-Rand forged body ball valves provide extended service life and resist failure caused by severe temperature applications. Full-flow design ensures maximum system efficiency. Highly inert PTFE seats provide resistance to chemical corrosion. Two Viton O-rings at the stem provide maximum safety with no maintenance. The blow-out proof stem, chrome-plated brass ball and specifically designed handle enable increased turning leverage for ease of opening and closing. Ingersoll-Rand ball valves can be readily identified, ensuring high-quality engineering and reliability. These economical ball valves are available in female pipe sizes.
