Big-Lock Tubing - Compressed Air System 2½" to 10"
High Quality Aluminum Piping Systems
Simply stated there is no equal. Big-Lock has taken large diameter piping systems to a new level.
Ten times lighter than steel, without compromising any structural strength, the system is easier to install than plastic and delivers a quality of air, gas or vacuum that is equal to that of high cost welded stainless steel systems.
The secret of the Big-Lock system is twofold. First is the tubing design. Big-Lock is manufactured from marine-grade aluminium that affords it the highest level of protection against contamination. This ensures that the media travelling through a system encounters very little turbulence, while enabling high flow rates with minimal pressure losses compared to conventional steel systems.
Secondly, Big-Lock incorporates the world’s most highly accepted grooved fitting design. All mechanical contractors will understand the technology and will be able to install a Big-Lock system. We ensure that all fittings coming into contact with the media flowing through a system are manufactured from high quality aluminum so that system integrity will never be compromised. Zero contamination is a priority; it is the only solution to achieve the lowest cost of ownership when operating a piping system.
Big-Lock provides a simple solution for large air/gas/nitrogen/vacuum users and is, without a doubt, the easiest and fastest system to install. It has the lowest cost of ownership and the best quality of media delivery available.
Outstanding performance from an outstanding product is what we demand and what you should expect from our system.

Now Switch to Quick-Lock to Provide the Total Solution
Once you have installed a Big-Lock header, it is common to have smaller diameter piping for drops and solid line hook ups to machines and equipment.
Quick-Lock, like Big-Lock, promotes a total metal solution with bore sizes from 20 mm (½”) up to 63 mm (2½”).
The piping is manufactured in the same marine-grade aluminum as Big-Lock but promotes a different range and style of fittings.
Quick-Lock fittings are made from solid brass and nickel-plated to provide a strong and non-corrosive solution. The fitting design is a simple “push to connect” system and requires minimal skill, effort or tooling to install.
It Could Not Be Easier
Simply drill a hole in the Big-Lock piping and fix an outlet saddle clamp around the tubing to leave a female threaded connection that allows for the simple conversion between Big-Lock and Quick-Lock.

Don’t Jeopardize Air Handling Efficiency
Compressed air piping is responsible for the delivery of compressed air to the point of use. Its material, age and condition impact both system reliability and air quality.
Compressed air piping made from iron will rust and corrode, creating buildup on the interior and reducing the functional diameter. This buildup results in pressure drop within the system, contributing to high levels of contamination and poor air quality
