where moisture can be easily removed. All service line outlets should be
installed above the moisture traps to prevent moisture from entering the tool
or device using the air. Manual shutoff valves, protected by pressure relief
valves, should be installed at all service line outlets to eliminate leakage while
the tools are not in use.
As with any piping, all parts of the discharge piping should fit so as not to
create any stress between the piping and components.
Pnuematic Circuit Breakers or Velocity Fuses
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Section 1926.303, Paragraph
7, published in the Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1920.1, revised July 1,
1982 states that all hoses exceeding 1/2" inside diameter shall have a safety
device at the source of supply or branch line to reduce pressure in case of a hose
failure”
These pnuematic safety devices are designed to prevent hoses from whip-
ping and/or the loss of hazardous or toxic gasses, all of which could result in a
serious or fatal accident.
Never join pipes or fittings with lead-tin soldering. Welded or
threaded steel pipes and cast iron fittings, designed for the pres-
sures and temperatures, are recommended.

Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels such as
(but not
limited to)
pulsation bottles, heat exchangers, moisture separators and traps,
must be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII
