GENERAL INFORMATION
A clean lubricated air supply must be available at 90 to 125 psi (6.2 to 8.6 Bar), and not less than 45
cfm (1.3 M3/min.), at the point of connection to the motor. A shut-off valve should be provided at
the air supply connection source. If there is any doubt about the cleanliness of the air supply, a filter
should be installed at the supply connection.
Proper lubrication of the unit is a must for peak performance; therefore, a lubricator (preferably a filter/
lubricator) should be installed in the airline immediately downstream of the shut-off valve. A filter-
lubricator (PN 901717P) is available from Elliott Tool Technologies. For best results, use 10W/NR Lube
Oil (PN 900082P), also available from Elliott Tool Technologies in 16 oz. (0.5 L) cans.
A clean water supply must be provided (preferably city water). Water pressure should not exceed 125
psi (8.6 Bar). A flow rate of at least 30 gpm (114 L/min.) should be available. A shut-off valve should
be at the point of connection of the hose whip to the water source. (IMPORTANT: Never operate
Model 522400XL tube cleaner without water supply. Running this tool without water will damage the
shaft seal assembly and cause immediate tool failure.)
Swivel connections are provided on both of the hose whips to provide for easy hookup and eliminate
kinks in the hoses. Connect each hose whip to its corresponding connection on the motor and to its
supply source. Service ends of the hose whips are furnished with female thread connections; 1/2”
NPT (Air) and 1/4” NPT (Water). (Note: Only one hose whip connection is required for the 5224XLBMC
air-purge motor.)
