The AMPS range
AMPS is a simple and reliable aluminium profile connection system for the installation of compressed air distribution networks.
AMPS uses a specific aluminium profile whose geometry has been developed to ensure the distribution of compressed air. it is a unique and innovative system.
approved and certified by the German certification organisation, tÜv, AMPS offers the assurance of a reliable and approved system.
assembly and installation is performed without the need for preparation or specific tools. the profile is cut to the desired length and directly assembled with the appropriate couplings. Multiple combinations are possible and extensively modifiable. the AMPS range brings optimal solutions for the installation of compressed air networks.
thanks to an aW6063 - t66 aluminium construction, the piping profiles are light and clean. the perfectly smooth internal surface ensures optimum flow.
assemblies are realised with:
• Tube couplings equipped with a dual O-ring seal, ensuring perfect sealing.
• Connection plates that ensure that assemblies are secured together using grooves in the profile
• Accessories: Straight couplings, angled couplings, reducers, stoppers, orientable swivel couplings, three way couplings, five way couplings, connection plates, wall or ceiling brackets.
the assembly components are perfectly suited and allow the assembly of robust, reliable and well-finished installations, whether for large industrial facilities, small installations or workstation equipment.

AMPS EP tube stopper closure of tube at end of line when the installation is not a loop. Stopper to be secured using holding plates (aMPS HP).
AMPS R Male threading/female threading reducerthis part allows a reduction from female threading to female threading of smaller diameter.
AMPS VB Orientable swivel couplingsRotation angle: from 80° to 180°a screw allows the rotation to be locked in the chosen position.the swivel coupling allows the connection and orientation of two tubes to adapt the installation to the architectural configuration. it provides extensive flexibility for installation. Swivel coupling to be secured using holding plates (aMPS HP).
AMPS DK Expansion kitit is recommended to install an expansion coupling approximately every 30 metres to compensate for expansion and contraction phenomena due to temperature differences. this coupling also fulfils the function of connecting two bars. it may also be used, at the end of main pipe installation, for the network loop connection. Kit to be secured using holding plates (aMPS HP).
AMPS HP Holding platesanchored in the profile’s grooves, the holding plates lock and secure the connections. they use the shoulders on the couplings and ensure that the assembly is held together firmly. the holding plate is equipped with captive screws. Simply press on the captive screws to insert into the plate and tighten them using an allen key to obtain a perfectly sealed and secure connection (see p. 8 for the required tightening torques).Holding plates should be foreseen for all tube assemblies.
6 aMPS network
AMPS CP Connection plates Four models of plate are available.the choice of model depends on the profile used and the desired coupling size (from G 1/8 to G 2).the plates are mounted using both grooves on the profile: one to guide the plate when the tab is inserted in the groove, the other to attach the plate, using the quick screw/nut locking system.
AMPS D Drilling toola specific tool, ref. aMPS d38, aMPS d12, aMPS d34 (see p. 15), allows the drilling of holes in the profiles necessary for air tappings, whilst evacuating cuttings from the drilling operation. this drilling may be performed with the system pressurised, without the need to shut down compressed air delivery (see p. 9).
Network anchoring three types of anchoring, selected depending on workshop configuration.
AMPS WB wall bracket with clips
the securing of profiles to the wall or ceiling is achieved using brackets every 3 metres. there are two types of clip brackets, spaced 20 mm or 50 mm from the wall.the securing bracket is equipped with two clips and a strap that allow firm anchoring of the profile using its grooves. the bracket is first anchored to the wall after which the bar can simply be clipped on to be securely held.
AMPS WB60 bracket
the bracket is equipped with a captive screw. the bracket is held by the screw and nut secured in the profile’s groove.the aMPS W bracket can be used as a wall mount or to lock the rotation of two perpendicular bars.
Anchoring to ceiling using the AMPS WB80 threaded rod
a plate, female-threaded in its centre, is on one side secured in the profile’s grooves and on the other side equipped with a threaded rod. the threaded rod ensures anchoring to the ceiling and the suspension of the profile (not supplied).

Assembly principles
Holding plate screws and nuts must be tightened using a 5-mm allen key according to the torque values indicated below:
Tube diam. (mm)
Tightening torque
Ø 25, Ø 38, Ø 50 10 N/m
Ø 75 14 N/m
Ø 100 18 N/m
the assembly of the different tubes making up the installation must be realised so as to obtain a perfect alignment that is both solid and well finished.
Spacing of anchoring brackets:
to ensure the strength of the installation, an anchoring bracket must be placed every 3 metres.
three types of anchors are available. the aMPS WB bracket can be used either as an anchor or to lock the rotation of two perpendicular bars.
Profile bars are delivered in lengths of 6 metres.
the cutting of profile bars must be clean and perpendicular. a suitable cutting tool must be used.
after cutting, the tube must be completely free of burrs to avoid any damage to the coupling seals when the tubes are assembled. a lubrication gel (ref. aMPS G50) is needed for the insertion of couplings into the tube.
8 aMPS network
Realisation of compressed air connections using connecting plates (AMPS CP)
• Installation of prevo S1 quick couplings. they allow completely safe connection and disconnection.
• Installation of CONEX push-in fittings. they allow the direct connection of Pa and PU semi-rigid tube circuits.
a straight tube coupling (aMPS MS) can also be mounted on connection plates, allowing the installation of an additional perpendicular tube. coupling to be anchored with the corresponding holding flanges (aMPS HP).
Quick and simple installation:
• Anchor the connection plate to the chosen anchor point (aMPS cP)
• Insert the closure blade between the plate and the profile up to its first marking.
• Perform the drilling operation
• Close off the drilled hole by pushing the blade up to the second marking.
• Screw in the prevo S1 or CONEX* coupling.
• Completely remove the blade.
*In the case of the installation of a non-closure coupling, to avoid any release to the atmosphere, ensure that all connections have been made or provide a plug.
the AMPS system offers the tools required for the installation of connection plates while pressurised (aMPS cP). the drilling kit includes a drilling tool and a closure blade (kit ref.: aMPS d). this technique facilitates drilling and avoids the presence of shavings in the tube. the operator then has available 1/8”G to 2”G threaded ports. these operations can be performed without having to shut off the air network.
in the event of a modification to the air network, stoppers (aMPS P) allow the closure of air outlets that are no longer needed.

Wall fasteners
• Air inlet: G ½ or G ¾
• Material: Aluminium alloy
• 4-point wall mounting
• Incorporates pre-assembled, sealed manual drain
• Connection to AMPS tubing via aMPS MS straight male threaded coupling. the mount’s hole spacing with respect to the wall corresponds to the 20-mm spacing of the aMPS WB20 wall anchor with clips.
• Air outlet: 2 one-push safety couplings prevo S1
Network equipment
the installation of descending tubing (secondary vertical tubes) is achieved using the tee-coupling (aMPS t) or the five-way coupling equipped with straight male couplings (aMPS MS) and stoppers (aMPS P) for unused outlets.
the orientable swivel coupling (aMPS vB) installed between two sections of tubes allows the orientation of the tubing as a function of needs.
the installation of specific equipment is realised, at the end of the line, using straight male (aMPS MS) or female (aMPS FS) couplings and on horizontal tubing using connection plates (aMPS cP).
Placed on a secondary pipe, the prevo S1 wall fastener offers quick coupling for two connections. prevo S1 anti-hose whip couplings are compliant with the iSo 4414 standard ensuring the protection of the user.
Orientable body allowing the button position to be chosen
Rapid and easy connection and disconnection ensuring highly versatile operation
