Air Header

Air Headers are expertly designed to distribute compressed air or other gases from a single source to multiple destinations within an industrial process. These headers are essential for ensuring efficient and controlled air distribution in various applications, including instrumentation, control systems, and pneumatic operations. Manufactured with precision and built to withstand demanding conditions, our Air Headers offer robust performance, durability, and ease of installation.

The Air Header from IPS Automation is an industrial compressed-air distribution manifold
designed to supply instrument air from one main source to multiple pneumatic instruments,
control valves, actuators, transmitters, switches, and other air-operated devices. It helps
organize instrument air distribution in process plants by reducing the need for multiple individual
air supply lines and providing a centralized, reliable air supply point for pneumatic control
systems.
Air headers are commonly used in manufacturing and process industries where clean, dry, and
regulated compressed air is required for accurate operation of pneumatic instruments.
Depending on project requirements, air headers can be manufactured with multiple outlet ports,
inlet and drain connections, isolation valves, mounting brackets, and different material options
such as stainless steel or carbon steel. They are suitable for compact installation, easy
maintenance, and dependable air distribution in harsh industrial environments.

Centralized Air Distribution

Air headers provide a single organized distribution point for supplying compressed air to multiple instruments, reducing pipework complexity and improving system layout.

Compact and Organized Installation

The manifold-style design saves space, reduces tubing congestion, and provides a neat installation for instrument panels, skids, and plant air distribution points.

Cost-Effective Instrument Air Solution

By simplifying compressed air distribution and reducing installation complexity, air headers help lower maintenance effort, improve reliability, and support efficient plant operation.

Customizable Outlet Configuration

Air headers can be manufactured with different numbers of outlets, connection sizes, valve types, drain arrangements, and mounting options to suit specific project requirements.

Durable Industrial Construction

Corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.

Easy Isolation and Maintenance

Outlet valves allow individual instruments or branches to be isolated for maintenance without disturbing the complete air distribution system.

Reduced Leakage and Pressure Drop

A properly designed air header reduces the need for long individual air lines, helping minimize leakage points, pressure drop, and energy loss in compressed air systems.

Reliable Pneumatic Operation

By maintaining a stable and regulated air supply, air headers support reliable performance of pneumatic valves, actuators, transmitters, switches, and control systems.
