Upgrading Your Air System Is Easier Than You Think

Improving your shop airflow benefits your shop, your techs and your bottom line

What if there was a shop upgrade that could be done quickly and easily, that would save money AND allow your tools and equipment to operate more efficiently? If that gets your attention, it’s time to think about upgrading your shop’s air piping system.

This is one of my favorite topics because most shop piping systems are as old as the shop itself, and if it was the electrical system in a car, we’d have dim bulbs all over the place. What is it we avoid in electricity? Higher than normal resistance. What does old steel pipe offer to the air flow in your shop? You guessed it, resistance and turbulence in the airflow. Think about the built-up corrosion after all these years.
