Air Dryers—A-4400 Series Technical Bulletin
Installation Procedures
The A-4400 Series Refrigerated Air Dryer must be located in an open area
that will permit free circulation of air through the ends of the unit. The
A-4400 requires 12 in. (305 mm) top clearance (as measured from the top
of the cabinet) and 12 in. clearance at either end. When the unit is wall
mounted, it is recommended that there also be 10 in. (254 mm) bottom
clearance.
Hand protection is required when removing the A-4400 from its shipping
carton. Proceed as follows:
1. Cut the two adjacent corners of the front carton panel from top to
bottom, then fold the panel down. Remove the air dryer from its
shipping carton through the exposed side.
2. Wearing proper eye protection and using a pair of wire cutters, reach
into the air connection side of the air dryer and cut the steel packing
band securing the compressor to the shipping chipboard.
3. Tip the air dryer slightly on its edge and carefully remove the steel
packing band and discard. Also slide the shipping chipboard out and
discard.
4. Remove and discard the packaging cardboard from behind the
coalescing filter, if applicable (Models A-4412-1, A-4417-1, and
A-4423-1).
Two key slots are provided at the rear of the A-4400 for wall mounting the
unit (refer to Figure 1). Install the bolts and appropriate anchors
(field furnished) in the wall at 16 in. (406 mm) center-to-center spacing, in
a level arrangement. Hang the A-4400 on the bolts and tighten as
required.
Note: The key slots (center to center spacing) can be hand adjusted
approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) if needed when hanging the unit on
the mounting bolts.
This wall mounting arrangement provides proper air circulation, allows
easy access to the interior of the unit, and makes it convenient to remove
the particle filter and automatic condensate drain trap assembly through
the bottom of the unit for any necessary cleaning or replacement.
