One system.
Three critical utilities.
Vacuum
Inert Gases
Ring Mains
Point of Use
Most plants focus on compressors and dryers, but unstable pressure at distant machines often comes from the distribution network — rust, leakage, poor routing and rigid welded lines. ShiftAir modular aluminium piping gives a smooth, corrosion-resistant path from source to point of use, with mechanical fittings that simplify future changes. ITT surveys demand, sizes the network and supports installation through commissioning.

Plant air distribution
Aluminium compressed-air pipe resists internal rust even when residual moisture is present after treatment. Smooth bore and modular routing help maintain stable pressure to pneumatic tools, packaging lines, CNC utilities and general factory air points.
- Ring mains, headers, branches and machine drops
- Compatible with dryers, filters and condensate management
- Blue and grey alloy tubes for layout identification
- Lower modification time when production lines change
Central vacuum networks
Vacuum systems depend on low leakage and stable flow paths. Modular aluminium networks support central vacuum headers, machine drops and isolation points with cleaner internal surfaces than corroding steel alternatives.
- Headers and drop points for packaging and process vacuum
- Mechanical fittings for branch additions and isolation
- Supports surveyed layouts for multiple pick-up points
- Easier expansion when demand points increase
Inert & specialty gas lines
Where nitrogen, argon or other inert gases feed process areas, a corrosion-free modular network reduces contamination risk from scaling or rust particles common in traditional iron pipework.
- Clean bore aluminium for sensitive gas distribution
- Modular tees, elbows and valves for controlled routing
- Engineering review for pressure and compatibility
- Future line extensions without major rework
Aluminium vs traditional piping
Compare ShiftAir modular aluminium against conventional GI, MS and black-iron systems across the criteria that affect energy cost, air quality and lifecycle maintenance.
Cleaner delivery
No internal rust means fewer particles reaching filters, valves and pneumatic equipment.
Lower avoidable loss
Smooth bore and better joint approach help reduce pressure drop and leakage compared with aging steel networks.
Plant agility
Add machines, move lines or isolate sections without the disruption of welded or threaded rework.
Lifecycle value
10-year warranty support from ShiftAir and engineered commissioning from ITT protect long-term performance.
Multi-fluid use
One modular platform approach for compressed air, vacuum headers and inert gas distribution.
Survey-led sizing
Pipe diameter, routing and drop placement based on demand — not guesswork.
Complete modular system
ShiftAir aluminium alloy tubes, precision fittings and installation accessories — specified as one integrated transmission system.

Aluminium alloy pipe
Extruded aluminium alloy tubes with smooth internal finish, available in blue and grey variants for organised plant identification.
- Corrosion-resistant bore for clean fluid delivery
- Lightweight sections for faster overhead installation
- Selected around working pressure and flow profile

Modular fittings
Mechanical connectors, elbows, tees, reducers, threaded adapters and flange options build complex ring mains without welding.
- Equal & unequal connectors for branch layouts
- Leak-resistant mechanical joint approach
- Valves, brackets and drop-point accessories

Installation & support
ITT coordinates layout planning, supports, testing and commissioning so the network performs as designed from day one.
