INSTALLING A SHUT-OFF VALVE

A shut-off valve should be installed on the discharge port

of the tank to control the air flow out of the tank. The valve

should be located between the tank and the piping system.

Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump

and the tank. Personal injury and/or equipment damage

may occur. Never use reducer in discharge piping.

When creating a permanently installed system to distribute

compressed air, find the total length of the system and

select pipe size from the chart. Bury underground lines

below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation

can gather and freeze.

Apply air pressure to the piping installation and make sure

all joints are free from leaks BEFORE underground lines are

covered. Before putting the compressor into service, find

and repair all leaks in the piping, fittings and connections.

WIRING

All wiring and electrical connections must be performed by

a qualified electrician. Installations must be in accordance

with local and national codes.

Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from

inadequate wiring. Wiring must be installed in accordance with

National Electrical Code and local codes and standards that

have been set up covering electrical apparatus and wiring.

Be certain that adequate wire sizes are used, and that:

1. Service is of adequate ampere rating.

2. The supply line has the same electrical characteristics

(voltage, cycles and phase) as the motor.

3. The line wire is the proper size and that no other equipment

is operated from the same line. The chart below gives

minimum recommended wire sizes for compressor

installations.
