Using connecting tubing with a working pressure below the maximum rated output pressure may result

If the shop drive air used to operate the GB-K is to be vented to a location other than where the
booster is being used or if the noise levels are to be reduced, proceed as follows:
Remove the Drive Air Exhaust Muffler (13). The Drive Air Exhaust Muffler (13) and booster
exhaust port are both 1/2 in. NPTF connected via a 1/2 in. NPT nipple. Therefore, the fitting
available for connection is a 1/2 in. NPT male (when using the nipple) or female (when not
using the nipple).
Connect a hose with an I.D. of at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) and maximum length of 50 ft.
(16 meters) to the booster fitting (1/2 in. NPT male or female). A hose length of greater than
50 ft (16 meters) can be used provided the I.D. of the hose is increased.
Connect the loose end of the hose to an appropriate termination point.
