COMPRESSOR CONNECTIONS
•
For reliable operation, the CAFS air filter must be located in a clean, fresh-air environment,
usually in the dunnage area above the pump compartment. DO NOT damage the filter during
assembly and be sure the mounting area offers protection.
•
Mount the air filter 6” (152 mm) MINIMUM above the decking platform to prevent standing
water from being sucked into the filter and possibly back into the system. (See Figure 27)
•
Use 3” (76.2 mm) CPVC or aluminum pipe and rubber connections. Support the piping with
brackets as needed.
•
An auxiliary air outlet for rescue tools and testing can be provided. Refer to NFPA CAFS
testing requirements. A fitting is provided, with JIC cap, on the outlet of the separator tank.
CAUTION
If the auxiliary air is connected & used for rescue tools, the DSD pump should be connected to a fresh
water source to prevent overheating of the compressor as the cooling system for the compressor relies
on a continuous fresh water source. If the truck tank is the only water source for cooling the
compressor, the auxiliary air source can be utilized for a shorter period of time depending on the truck’s
tank size.
•
Remove the protective cap, and install an appropriate hose. Use 3/4” (19 mm) to 1” (25.4
mm), wire reinforced hose for maximum air flow. For example, Aeroquip FC350-16, 1” (25.4
mm) wire reinforced hose.
