TYPICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Risk of bursting, resulting in injury.
Never use plastic pipe for compressed air.
CAUTION:
Never use lubricator for paint spraying
or similar applications.
Air dryers and after coolers
An air dryer or aftercooler is installed directly in the air line.
Moisture removal and air filtration
As the air cools, moisture will condense in the lines. This
moisture must be removed before it reaches the tool being used.
To remove this moisture, run the main air line downhill to a
moisture trap and drain. Air/water filters should also be installed
in the positions shown.
Air pressure regulation
The air pressure gauge on the pressure switch measures air
pressure
inside the tank, not pressure in the air line
. Install an air
regulator in the drop line for each tool, to regulate air pressure to
that tool.
Never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool.
Air lubrication
Install an air lubricator only for those tools requiring
lubrication.
Do not use a lubricator for paint spraying or similar
applications.
The oil will contaminate the paint and ruin the job.
Shut–off valves
Install shut–off valves in each drop line, to isolate the tool
and its accessories for servicing. You can also install a bypass
line around an accessory.
