INSTALLATION 

SECTION 3

3.1 LOCATION

DO NOT LOCATE THIS AFTERCOOLER WHERE PER-

SONNEL MAY CONTACT THE INLET PIPING UNLESS 

THE UNIT IS PROTECTED BY WARNING SIGNS AND/

OR A BARRIER.  DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE 

INLET PIPING MAY BECOME EXTREMELY HOT (150

O

TO 400

O

F).  CONTACT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER-

SONAL INJURY.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF 

CORROSIVE GASES OR CHEMICALS.  MAKE SURE 

THAT THE MATERIALS USED IN THIS UNIT (listed on 

page 2) ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ATMOSPHERIC 

CONDITIONS.

The aftercooler should be located far enough away from the 

compressor so that there are no vibrations transmitted from the 

compressor.  

A FLEXIBLE HOSE MUST BE INSTALLED IN 

THE PIPING TO VALIDATE THE WARRANTY AND TO PRE-

VENT DAMAGE TO THE AFTERCOOLER FROM VIBRATION 

IN THE PIPING! 

 REFERENCE Section 3.3 for instructions.

The location should be level and capable of supporting the 

aftercooler and all components and piping to be installed.  The 

aftercooler must be level to allow proper drainage of fluids from 

the outlet manifold.

 

CAUTION

The aftercooler must be installed at least 1 foot from walls or 

obstructions.  It is important for the unit to have an adequate 

air supply for cooling at all times.  If more than one unit is to be 

installed in the same area, allow at least 1 foot between them.  

Aftercoolers equipped with a TEFC motor can be installed 

indoors or outdoors. If the unit is to be installed outdoors or 

in an area where ambient temperatures can fall below 38

O

F, 

precautions must be made to prevent freeze-up and damage 

to the unit. The drain lines and separator must be heat traced 

and/or insulated and the unit should be protected from the wind, 

REFERENCE Section 3.5 for details.

3.2 MOUNTING THE UNIT

After selecting the proper location as outlined above, the 

aftercooler should be mounted to the installation surface.  

Mounting holes are provided on the leg support braces.  

Reference Section 2.2 for mounting hole locations and dimen

-

sions. Use hardware (not supplied) sized for the mounting holes.
