Air Driven Gas Booster Compressor, 8” Drive AG Series • OM-12J 

3. Installation 

3.1 Mounting 

All models will operate in any position required for system operation. However, for Oxygen Gas Boosting 
applications, mount all models horizontally with mounting brackets down. 

3.2 Environment 

All units are protected with plating or materials of construction for installation in normal indoor or outdoor 
applications. Special considerations may be advisable on some components if atmosphere is corrosive. If 
ambient temperatures will drop below freezing, dryers to prevent condensation of moisture in either the 
drive or gas section are advisable. 

3.3 Drive System 

Incoming air (or gas) piping and components must be large enough to provide sufficient flow for the cycle 
rate desired. Minimum size to provide the pumping rates shown in the current catalog is 3/4” I.D. Complex 
lines ov

er a considerable distance should be 1” or larger. 

The standard drive inlet is a 3/4” female pipe port located in the center of the cycling valve body. As 
standard, the pilot air (or gas) to the cycling system is provided through the bent tube assembly from the 
1/4” NPT tap below the 3/4” NPT drive inlet port. For external remote pilot, the tube assembly is removed, 
the 1/4” NPT tap is plugged, and the pilot air from an alternate source connected to the 1/8” NPT port in 
the valve end cap. External pilot pressure should be equal to or exceed drive pressure. The air drive (and 
air pilot if external) inlet system should always include a filter since essentially all compressors introduce a 
considerable amount of contamination. 

The drive requires approximately 25 psi to trigger the valve spool and pilot piston as lubricated at the 
factory. 

It is not necessary or desirable to use an airline lubricator.

 

3.3.1 MUFFLERS 

For minimum noise level, these may be remotely located. If beyond 6 feet, use 3/4” I.D. pipe, tube or 
hose. 

3.3.2 PILOT VENT 

The pilot system vents a small amount of pilot air (or gas) once per cycle from the 1/8” NPT tap in the flow 
fitting end cap. This vent should operate unobstructed. It may also be piped to a remote location if the 
pilot gas is hazardous. Vent purge modification with a 15 psi relief is available. Specify modification 56611 
for single-ended models and 56611-2 for double-ended models. 

3.4 Controls 

For general usage the optional standard air controls accessory package includes a filter, an air pressure 
regulator with a gauge, and a manual valve for shutoff and speed control. Pumping rates shown in the 
current catalog are based on the use of a regulator with a flow capacity equivalent to 3/4” pipe size. 

A number of other control options are available to suit specific applications. Among these are: Automatic 
start/stop of the drive - sensing gas output and/or gas inlet pressures; high pressure safety relief 
protection; cycle counting, cycle rate control, etc. 

Consult current catalogs, authorized distributors or the factory. 

3.5 Gas System 

Refer to Figures 1 or 2 and to the detailed installation drawings enclosed covering the specific model. The 
installation drawing will provide inlet and outlet port detail and location. When tightening connecting 
piping, hold the port fitting securely with a backup wrench. Be certain that the connecting lines and fittings 
are of the proper design and safety factor for pressurized gas service. 

NOTE: Also see paragraph 2.3 on gas system cleanliness.
