Prevost CC Concept
What Is Prevost's CC Concept Range?
Prevost's CC Concept (Compact Connection Concept) is a modular pipework system specifically designed for building and adapting compressed air networks. It uses aluminium fittings and a unique clamp-based connection method that replaces traditional threaded or welded joints.
Key Features of the CC Concept:
- Modular & Space-Saving: Allows direct fitting-to-fitting connections without extra adaptors, making installations more compact and efficient—ideal for compressor rooms or tight layouts.
- Quick Installation: Uses collar and flange connectors with seals and gripping rings, enabling fast, secure assembly without special tools or welding.
- Leak-Free & Reliable: The integrated blue seals and PPS Grip Concept technology ensure airtight, pressure-resistant joints.
- Wide Compatibility: Designed for use with PPS1 aluminium pipe systems, covering pipe sizes from 50mm to 160mm OD.
- Scalable & Reconfigurable: Easy to extend, modify, or dismantle as system needs grow or change.
How Does The CC Concept Work?
The Prevost CC Concept system works by providing a fast, secure, and modular way to build and modify compressed air networks using aluminium fittings and pipes. It replaces traditional threaded, glued, or welded connections with a more efficient clamp-based system that uses connecting collars and flanges.
Pipe & Fitting Selection:
- The system uses PPS1 aluminium pipes and a range of CC Concept fittings—such as elbows, tees, unions, reducers, and valves—that match the required layout and pipe sizes (from 50mm to 160mm OD).
Positioning the Fittings:
- Each fitting is designed with CC ends, which are smooth, machined surfaces that accept the pipes directly.
Using Connecting Collars & Flanges:
- Flanges are placed over the pipe and align with the flange face on the fitting.
- Collars fit around the connection, clamping the pipe and fitting together.
- A seal (typically blue) sits between them, ensuring an airtight, pressure-resistant joint.
- The bolts in the flange and collar set are tightened to compress the seal and lock the connection in place.
Final Assembly:
- Once tightened, the pipe is securely fixed to the fitting. The PPS Grip Concept inside the fitting includes a gripping ring and seal that together prevent leaks and ensure the joint can withstand up to 16 bar of pressure.
Why Choose The CC Concept?
1. Faster, Cleaner Installation:
The CC Concept eliminates the need for threading, welding, or gluing. With clamp-on collars and flanges, you get a quick-fit, leak-free connection that reduces labour time and doesn’t require special tools.
2. Compact & Space-Saving Design:
Unlike standard PPS fittings that often require additional adapters or threaded ends, CC Concept fittings connect directly to one another. This results in a more compact system, ideal for tight spaces like compressor rooms or mechanical enclosures.
3. Easier System Modifications:
The CC Concept is fully modular and reconfigurable. You can easily disconnect and rearrange fittings without cutting or damaging the pipe—perfect for evolving systems or layout changes.
4. Fewer Leak Points:
With fewer threaded joints and simplified connections, the CC Concept system reduces potential leak points—improving air efficiency and lowering maintenance needs over time.
5. Clean, Professional Finish:
CC fittings have a streamlined, uniform appearance, making them a great choice for visible or high-spec installations where aesthetics and precision matter.
