Tie Down
The air dryer should be installed on a vibration-free, stable, horizontal, flat surface.
Refer to
“Chapter6 6-3 Dimensions” for the dimensions.
This model should be installed using anchor bolts (not included) to prevent shifting during a potential
earthquake.
2-2-3 Air piping
Connection to the inlet and outlet of compressed air should be made removable by using union or similar
connection.
Support the IN/OUT ports with a wrench during tightening or loosing of fittings.
Do not allow the equipment to support the weight of the piping.
Isolate the vibration generated by the compressor.
If the temperature of compressed air on the inlet side is higher than 122
°
F (50
o
C), place an aftercooler
unit after the air compressor.
If the air supply makes high pressure fluctuation (pulsation), take any countermeasures such as
installing air tank.
Clean pipes and fittings before use and select a suitable filter to prevent dust, oil or chips from entering the
air dryer, which can cause failure to the equipment.
Use pipes and fittings that can withstand the operating pressure and temperature of the compressed air.
Make sure all connections are leak-free.
Provide bypass piping to make it possible to do maintenance without stopping the air compressor.
2-2-4 Drain Tube
A polyurethane tube (3/8inch) O.D. is attached to the auto drain. The end of the tube is open to
atmosphere to let drain flow through the tube into a collector or drain pipe.
The compressed air is used to push out the drain periodically. Fix the outlet end of the tube in order to
prevent whipping action during discharge.
Install the drain tube in such a way so that no drain is trapped.
During installation, make sure the dryer does not sit on the drain tube which is at the bottom of the unit. Be
careful to avoid the dryer from crushing the tube during installation.
We recommend the bypass piping sets
available separately as accessories.
