Air Line and Accessories
NOTE:
Install the air line accessories in the order shown
in the Typical Installation in F
•
Use thread sealant on male threads except at swivel
connections.
•
Install a pump runaway valve (D) to stop the pump if
the fluid supply is depleted. A pump that runs too
fast can be seriously damaged.
•
Install a bleed-type master air valve (F) upstream
from the pump air regulator (G), but within easy
reach of the pump.
To order a 300 psi (21 bar, 2.1 MPa) maximum working
pressure, 1/2 inch npt bleed-type master air valve, part
number 107142.
•
Install an air line lubricator (E) for automatic air
motor lubrication.
To order a 250 psi (17.5 bar, 1.75 MPa) maximum
working pressure air line lubricator, order a Part
Number below:
•
3/8 inch npt - 214847
•
1/2 inch npt - 214848
•
Install an air regulator (G) to control pump speed
and pressure.
To order a 300 psi (21 bar, 2.1 MPa) maximum
working pressure regulator, order a Part Number
below:
•
3/8 inch npt - 109075
•
1/2 inch npt - 244844
•
Install an air line filter (H) to remove harmful dirt and
contaminants from your compressed air supply.
To order a 250 psi (17.5 bar, 1.75 MPa) maximum
working pressure air filter, order a Part Number
below:
•
3/8 inch npt - 106148
•
1/2 inch npt - 214849
•
Install a thermal relief kit on the dispensing valve
side of the pump to assist in relieving pressure in
the pump, hose and dispensing valve due to heat
expansion.
•
To order an alternate relief kit for the 3:1
Fire-Ball 225 pumps - 540 psi (37 bar, 3.7 MPa)
order Part Number 235998.
•
To order a thermal relief kit for the 5:1 Fire-Ball
pump - 900 psi (62 bar, 6.2 MPa) maximum
working pressure order Part Number 237893.
•
To order a thermal relief kit for the 10:1 Fire-Ball
425 pump - 1600 psi (110 bar, 11.0 MPa) maxi-
mum working pressure order Part Number
240429.
Installing the Hose Kit
Assemble the hose kit as shown in F
NOTICE
Do not hang air accessories directly on the air inlet.
The fittings are not strong enough to support acces-
sories and may cause one or more to break. Pro-
vide a bracket on which to mount accessories.
A bleed-type master air valve is required in the
system to help reduce the risk of serious bodily injury,
including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes, and
injury from moving parts when adjusting or repairing
the pump. This valve relieves air trapped between
the valve and the pump to prevent the pump from
cycling unexpectedly.
