RECOMMENDED SYSTEM COMPONENTS
PRIMARY SHUT-OFF:
Prevents liquid in the tank from overflowing into the system
and entering the pump. Liquid entering the pump can damage or destroy the pump.
SECONDARY MOISTURE TRAP (SCRUBBER):
Removes liquid still in the air
stream after passing through the primary shut-off. The Scrubber should be drained after
every load.
VACUUM/PRESSURE GAUGE:
Required to properly monitor the performance of
the system. It should be located between the Scrubber and the Pump (the clean side of
the pump) to prevent gauge failure due to foreign material.
VACUUM RELIEF VALVE:
Governs the operating vacuum level. It should be
installed at the pump so that if a liquid level trap is activated or a hose collapses the
pump is not allowed to deadhead which can result in overheating and pump failure.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:
Regulates the amount of pressure in the system. It
should be located between the Scrubber and the Pump (the clean side of the pump).
CAUTION!
Operating your system without a properly installed pressure relief
valve in good working order could lead to equipment damage or
catastrophic failure resulting in severe injury.
INLET FILTER:
Prevents small particulate matter from entering the pump. This filter
should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly.
