INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

C. Connecting Gas Supply to Unit

The gas supply is connected to the Regulator/Filter As-
sembly located on the rear of the unit.  The connection is
the same for compressed air or high pressure gas cylin-
ders.

Connect the gas supply as follows:

1. If an optional air line filter is to be installed, refer to

procedures in subsection 3.06-D.

2. Connect the gas line to the filter.  A typical installa-

tion using a barbed fitting is illustrated; other fittings
may be used.

NOTE

For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the fitting
threads, according to manufacturer's instructions.
Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer, as small
particles of the tape may break off and block the
small gas passages in the torch.

3. Connect the gas line to the Regulator/Filter Assem-

bly.

D. Installing Optional Air Filter Kits

Additional filtering is recommended when using air from
a compressor to insure that moisture and debris from the
supply hose does not enter the torch.  Although the  Regu-
lator/Filter Assembly does have its own filter, the op-
tional Single-Stage Air Filter Kit or optional Two-Stage
Air Filter Kit are recommended for improved filtering.

1.

Optional Single-Stage Air Filter Kit

This optional in-line air filter for use on compressed
air shop systems is highly effective at removing mois-
ture and particulate matter from the air stream to at
least 0.85 microns.

NOTE

For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the fitting
threads, according to manufacturer's instructions.
Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer as small
particles of the tape may break off and block the
small gas passages in the torch. Connect the gas
supply as follows:

a. Attach the Single-Stage Filter Hose to the Regu-

lator/Filter Assembly inlet port as shown be-
low.

b. Connect the gas line to the optional filter.  A

typical installation using a barbed fitting is il-
lustrated; other fittings may be used.

c. Attach the gas supply hose to the Single-Stage

Filter Assembly.
