Feather weight pneumatics

[Guest]

needing some help, what would be the best pipe diameter for the pmeumatic piping (its all being used at 10bar), the only 5/2 valve i can seem to find has the biggest size of 1/4, is that the biggest around for low pressure pneumatics.

Also:. im wanting to use a compressor for the air supply, and a buffer tank. does anyone know where you can get a fitting, that replaces the small hose part (which has the fitting which would get plugged into the car tyre) so i can connect it to my push fitting pipes.

also what other saftey stuff would you need for a compressor supplying the air for the pneumatics, gauges etc,

any help will be great

Lets see if I can answer some of your questions.

5/2 Valves go much bigger than 1/4 ..... 3/4 is the biggest Ive seen.

Have a browse thru this online store...http://www.airlines-pneumatics.com/webcat/product-index.asphttp://www.airlines-pneumatics.com/w...duct-index.asp

The fitting I think youll need for the rubber pipe from the compressor is a hose tail .........cut the pipe ,push the fitting inside and use a jubilee clip or similar to retain it.

Youll find them here:-

Note also that pneumatic thread sizes are weird ...see if my page on threads helps.
