Before cutting a hole in the structure wall, be
sure there is adequate space to mount the Air
Blaster to the discharge assembly.
Discharge Pipe Features:
If not using
a discharge assembly provided by Global
Manufacturing, please use the following guidelines
in constructing a discharge pipe:
1. Use schedule 40 steel pipe for most applications.
2. Avoid sharp bends in the discharge pipe. Where
bends are necessary, use a long radius elbow for a
more effective blast.
3. Keep the length of the pipe as short as possible.
The longer the discharge pipe, the more the blast
force is diminished. If the pipe must be more than
6 feet (1.8 m) long consider using the next larger
size Air Blaster.
4. When determining the pipe
length keep in mind the length
of pipe needed to give proper
clearance for the Air Blaster
tank to clear the structure
wall, the thickness of the
wall, and the amount of pipe
that will be extending into the
storage area.
5. The pipe should extend into storage area only
far enough to clear the inner wall.
6. Use a standard slip-on pipe flange to mount
the Air Blaster to the discharge pipe. Select the
size (4.0" or 6.0") to match the pipe size and the
mounting flange on the Air Blaster.
Installing the Global Tangential Mount
Discharge Assembly:
7. Determine the location of the Air Blaster discharge
pipe. Be aware of structural obstacles which may
interfere with mounting the Air Blaster to the mount
flange on the end of the discharge pipe.
8. Using the Coordinates and Dimensions of
Elliptical Openings in Appendix G, make a template
of cardboard or other durable material. Enlarge the
elliptical shape of the pattern by ½" (13mm) for
ease of fitting during installation. The pattern may
also be used to locate bolt holes if the mount plate
is to be bolted to the structure wall.
Important!
9. Use the pattern to mark the opening on the
structure wall. When working from the outside of the
structure, the long diameter of the elliptical shape
should run from upper left to lower right (unless you
have ordered a special configuration).
10. Cut the hole in the structure wall.
11. Fit the discharge pipe into the wall so the mount
plate is flush with the outer wall surface. Evaluate the
amount of pipe extending into the storage chamber.
Cut the pipe using a square cut (perpendicular to the
length of the pipe) so the lower edge is flush with
the inside of the structure wall. The upper edge will
protrude into the flow area slightly.
12. Be sure the discharge assembly is in place with
the mount plate flush with the outer wall surface.
Seal weld the mount plate to the wall.
