In order to enable the condensate to flow in the pipes it is advisable to create an inclination of 1
cm
for every
2 meters of pipe in the direction of airflow. This condensate is collected in special containers positioned at
40/50-meter intervals. The outlet of the compressed air is above the collector and it is from here the inclination
starts. A condensate collector should be fitted at the end of the line.

Secondary network
.
The secondary network describes the series of vertical pipes connecting the primary network to the various “user
points” A condensate collector should be positioned at the end of each vertical line. On the secondary networks
one or more connection points are installed to enable the air out-take for the various users.

Pos. 1
: the junction between themain and secondary network is made by taking the air from the top part of the
primary tube, in the case of both thewelded pipes, as well as
