System Requirements
Pressure drain valves are recommended in the system.
Pressure drain valves assist in relieving fluid pressure in
the displacement pump, hose and gun in the event that
the gun is clogged and triggering the gun does not
relieve all pressure.
Grounding
Check your local electrical code and pump or sprayer
manual for detailed grounding instructions.
Spray gun:
ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Pump:
follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Fluid hose:
use only electrically conductive hoses with
a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical resistance
of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29
megohms, replace hose immediately.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Object being sprayed:
follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure:
hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
