Push to Connect Installation
Transair's 1/2" (16.5mm), 1" (25mm) and 1-1/2" (40mm) aluminum piping connects using push to connect fittings. This fitting provides a tight connection and requires minimal tooling to install.
Snap Ring Installation
Transair's 2" (50mm) and 2-1/2" (63mm) aluminum piping connects using snap ring fittings. A unique retention ring coupled with tightening the fitting body keeps the fitting attached to the pipe.
Clamshell Installation
