REMOTE AIR INLET PIPING
If the air around the compressor is relatively free of dirt, install the
air inlet filter at the inlet connection at the pump. If the air is dirty, pipe
the filter to a source of clean air. Use PVC plastic tubes for remote inlet
piping. Do not use black pipe or galvanized pipe, as these promote
sweating and rust. Consider installing an in–line type filter for ease of
cleaning and replacement. Make the line as short and direct as possible
and as large, or larger, than the diameter of the inlet connection on the
pump. Do not install piping with a diameter lower than that of the pump
intake.
Increase the pipe diameter one size for every 10 feet (3 m) of length
or every 90
_
bend. Make sure the piping is adequately braced.
If you pipe the filter outdoors, cover it with a hood to prevent the
entrance of rain or snow.
Heavy duty filter elements and filtration equipment are available for
fine airborne dust, such as cement and rock dust.
CAUTION
Do not operate the compressor without the air inlet filter(s).
DISCHARGE PIPING
If it is necessary to install air discharge and condensate discharge
piping, adhere to the following guidelines. Contact your dealer for more
information.
WARNING
Do not use plastic pipe, soldered copper fittings, rubber hose, or
lead–tin soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air system.
WARNING
If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any other restriction
is added to the compressor discharge, install a properly sized coded
safety/relief valve between the compressor discharge and restriction.
CAUTION
If you will be using the “All Season Select” synthetic compressor
lubricant, all downstream piping material and system components must
be compatible. Refer to the material compatibility list. If there are
incompatible materials present in your system, or if there are materials
not included in the list, contact your dealer.

The piping, fittings, receiver tank, etc. must be certified for at least
the maximum working pressure of the unit. Use hard–welded or
threaded steel or copper pipes and cast iron fittings that are certified
safe for the unit’s discharge pressure and temperature. DO NOT USE
PVC PLASTIC. Use pipe thread sealant on all threads, and make up
joints tightly to prevent air leaks.
If installing a condensate discharge line, the piping must be at least
one size larger than the connection, as short and direct as possible,
secured tightly and routed to a suitable drain point. Condensate must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and
regulations.
WARNING
On baseplate mounted units, you must connect the pressure switch
to a suitable air receiver tank before operating the unit.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING
Electrical installation and service should be performed by a qualified
electrician who is familiar with all the applicable local, state and federal
laws and regulations.
NOTE
This product should be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment–grounding terminal or lead
on the product.
The motor rating, as shown on the motor nameplate or compressor
specification label, and the power supply must have compatible
voltage, phase and hertz characteristics.
The electrical wiring between the power supply and electric motor
varies according to motor power. Power leads must be adequately
sized to protect against excessive voltage drop during start–up. Refer
to National Electric Code (NEC) or applicable local code to get proper
information on wiring size. DO NOT USE UNDERSIZE WIRE.
