The Importance of a Proper Installation
As with all Air Compressors, a proper installation is key to both a) long Compressor life and b) quality compressed
air. A Compressor Unit not installed correctly, and coupled with a poor maintenance program, can be plagued
with costly issues not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
The drawing below indicates the components required for a good installation.
As the ‘K100’ Screw Unit does not include an Air Receiver, one must be located as shown. And though additional
filtration and a Refrigerated Dryer is shown, they may not be required in all instances, this dependent on the
quality of compressed air required.

Plant piping from the system as shown above should be sized based on the Unit CFM and the length of the piping
as follows. Using smaller piping will greatly restrict air flow and cause issues downstream of the Unit.
