Pushing for air supply systems
May 1st 2008

After a reinvestment programme, VRS Automotive needed to install a new air supply system. The company had intended to use a 'galv' system but Stephen Hall, business development manager for John Guest advised that this system would be slow and expensive to install because of the need to cut and thread steel pipe.

Also, corrosion of the pipe's inner lining could reduce the efficiency of air tools. VRS Automotive then decided to use the John Guest Push Fit System.

The system is made up of push in fittings and rigid pipe colour coded blue. The pipe is easily cut using pipe cutters, and pushing a pipe into a fitting produces an instant leakproof connection, ready for use. The need for a flexible system with lots of take off points and the ability to extend and reconfigure were important aspects. The system, with 300m of pipework and around 200 fittings, was easily installed by VRS employees with no previous experience.
