Never clamp or bolt Air Receiver Feet to the
floor or support structure. Doing so can
greatly increase stress on the Tank, causing
it to weaken and/or fracture.
The Compressor must not be operated in a
confined area where the heat from the Unit
cannot readily escape.

Items to consider when installing the Unit are as
follows:
The Unit should be located in a dry, clean, cool,
dust free, and well ventilated area. If possible, the
Compressor should be located in a separate
room or area, away from the general operations
of the shop.
Allow a minimum of 18” around and 24” above
the Unit, this being for both the proper ventilation
of the Unit and ease of servicing.
If installing the Unit on a mezzanine, ensure
that the structure can safely support the weight
of the Unit. As well, the sound level of the Unit
may increase due to the harmonics created by
the structure; use Vibration Pads to lessen this.
If anchoring the Unit, ensure that there is
approx. ¼” (0.75 cm) between the Nut and the
Compressor Foot (as shown below). Do not
bolt down tightly.
Ensure that the floor under the Unit is smooth,
level and capable of bearing the weight of the
Compressor. The Compressor must sit squarely
on the floor.
DV Systems has available Installation Kits which
include (4) Vibration Isolator Pads and (1)
Stainless Steel Flex Hose.

If installed in a compressor room, ensure that the
room is adequately ventilated. (One Horsepower
produces approximately 2500 BTU/HR.)
Eg: 15 HP Unit x 2500 BTU/HP = 37,500 BTU/hour
The ambient temperature should be between
50°F and 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
Many common Compressor problems can be
attributed to the location or installation of the Unit.
Make sure the Unit is in a suitable location, and
installed correctly.
