AIRpipe Garage Kit · Five Workstations
5-Station Compressed Air Piping Kit
Build a larger AIRpipe compressed air distribution system with five fixed outlet locations for service bays, benches, production areas, fabrication zones and other workstations.
This preconfigured layout builds the fixed piping network. Once AIRpipe reaches each workstation, complete the individual drop with the hose reel, hose, regulator, fittings, couplers or manifold needed for the work performed there.
Example layout shown. Customize quantities, pipe lengths, fittings and outlet stations directly from the cart page.
Five Fixed Air Access Points
What Is a 5-Station Compressed Air Piping Kit?
A 5-station compressed air piping layout distributes air from one compressor to five separate AIRpipe outlet stations. It is designed for larger workspaces where technicians or equipment need compressed air closer to the point of use.
Five Air Access Points
Add dedicated outlets across service bays, benches, machines, tool zones and production areas.
Reduced Hose Clutter
Move fixed piping closer to the work instead of relying on long hoses across walkways or busy shop areas.
Built for Larger Shops
Support multiple work areas and leave room for future AIRpipe branches or additional stations.

AIRpipe Distribution Network vs. Drop Stations
The five-station kit establishes the fixed compressed air distribution network. Each outlet can then be completed independently according to the needs of that workstation.

Included 5-Station Component List
This preconfigured cart is based on a common five-station compressed air layout. Final requirements can vary with compressor location, ceiling height, wall layout, total run length, pressure requirements and how each station will be used.
| Qty | Component | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 36 | 7' lengths of 1" blue aluminum pipe | Main air line, branches and vertical drops |
| 23 | 1" union connectors | Connects pipe sections across the distribution layout |
| 30 | 1" pipe mounting clips | Secures AIRpipe to approved mounting surfaces |
| 5 | 1" elbow connectors | Supports turns and directional changes |
| 4 | 1" tee connectors | Branches the main line to additional stations |
| 5 | 1" outlet stations with two 1/2" female NPT ports | Provides five fixed point-of-use locations |
| 1 | 1" pipe to 3/4" male NPT adapter | Connects AIRpipe to the compressor outlet |
After Each AIRpipe Outlet
Complete Your Five Drop Stations
Each station can be configured differently depending on the tool, process and work area it serves.
Five Stations Can Serve Five Different Jobs
A service bay may require a high-flow impact setup while another station may serve a bench, blow gun or finishing area. Configure each drop around its actual CFM, PSI, hose and connection requirements.
Where a 5-Station Air Piping Layout Works Best
Multi-Bay Service Shops
Place compressed air close to service bays, lifts, tire stations, inspection areas and common tool zones.
Fabrication & Production Areas
Supply pneumatic tools, finishing areas, workbenches and production equipment across several work zones.
Maintenance Departments
Give technicians fixed air access throughout repair areas instead of relying on one central outlet.
How Do You Plan a 5-Station Compressed Air System?
Start by identifying where compressed air is needed, which tools or machines will use each station, and how many may operate at the same time.
For larger layouts, compressor capacity, pipe diameter, total run length and pressure drop become increasingly important. Size the system around combined airflow demand rather than simply the number of outlets.
Why Use Aluminum Pipe for a 5-Station Air System?
Aluminum compressed air piping is lightweight, corrosion resistant and modular. Those characteristics make it well suited to larger multi-station layouts that may need future modifications or expansion.

Common Questions
5-Station AIRpipe Kit FAQs
A 5-station compressed air piping kit is a fixed multi-drop distribution layout that connects one compressor to five AIRpipe outlet locations.
The kit focuses on the fixed AIRpipe distribution network. Each outlet may still require a hose reel, air hose, regulator, filter, couplers, fittings or manifold to complete the drop station.
Yes, if the compressor and piping are sized for the total airflow demand, operating pressure, duty cycle and number of tools that may operate simultaneously.
Choose based on the number and location of work areas, the desired piping layout and expected future expansion. The Garage Kit hub lets you compare all four layouts.
Yes. Each outlet can be configured around the tools and equipment at that workstation. Hose size, reel length, fittings, regulator settings and manifolds do not have to be identical at every station.
Yes. Additional AIRpipe branches, fittings and outlet stations can be added later, provided the compressor and piping system have adequate capacity for the additional airflow demand.
Confirm compressor capacity and outlet size, total pipe length, CFM demand, operating pressure, mounting surfaces, outlet locations and local installation requirements.
