Installation
Air Line
1.
Install the air line accessories as shown in F
. 4 to
. 7. Mount these accessories on the wall or on a
bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the
accessories is grounded.
a.
The fluid pressure can be controlled in either of
two ways. To control it on the air side, install an
air regulator (H). To control it on the fluid side,
install a fluid regulator (M) near the pump fluid
outlet (see F
b.
Locate one bleed-type master air valve (B) close
to the pump and use it to relieve trapped air. See
the WARNING above. Locate the other master
air valve (E) upstream from all air line
accessories and use it to isolate them during
cleaning and repair.
c.
The air line filter (F) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.
2.
Install an electrically conductive, flexible air hose (C)
between the accessories and the 1/4 npt(f) pump air
inlet (see F
. 2). Use a minimum 1/4” (6.3 mm) ID air
hose. Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (D)
onto the end of the air hose (C), and screw the
mating fitting into the pump air inlet snugly. Do not
connect the coupler (D) to the fitting yet.
Fluid Suction Line
If using a conductive (acetal) pump, use conductive
hoses. If using a non-conductive (polypropylene)
pump, ground the fluid system. See Grounding on
page 5.
The pump fluid inlet is 3/8 npt(f). See F
Screw the fluid fitting into the pump inlet snugly. Use a
compatible liquid thread sealant or PTFE tape on
connections to prevent air from getting into material
line.
At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi (0.1 MPa,1
bar), diaphragm life will be shortened.
See the Technical Data on pages 33 and 34 for
maximum suction lift and flow rate loss at various lift
distances.
Fluid Outlet Line
Use electrically conductive fluid hoses (N). The pump
fluid outlet is 3/8 npt(f). See F
. 2. Screw the fluid
fitting into the pump outlet snugly.
Install a fluid regulator (M) at the pump fluid outlet to
control fluid pressure, if desired (see F
Line, step 1a, for another method of controlling
pressure.
Install a fluid drain valve (J) near the fluid outlet. See
the WARNING above.
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in your
system to relieve air trapped between this valve and
the pump. See F
. 7. Trapped air can cause
the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in
serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on
the skin, injury from moving parts, or contamination
from hazardous fluids.
CAUTION
The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants.
Ventilate to a remote area if the contaminants could
affect your fluid supply. See Air Exhaust Ventilation
on page 10.
WARNING
A fluid drain valve (J) is required in your system to
relieve pressure in the hose if it is plugged. See F
. 7. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious
injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin,
or contamination from hazardous fluids when relieving
pressure. Install the valve close to the pump fluid
outlet.
