Replacement of the outlet pipe
(only applicable to QOF 20)
Description
The scroll element outlet pipe (1) contains a plastic insert (3). Due to the heat of the
compressed air, the plastic insert can become brittle. Therefore it is recommended to
replace the outlet pipe together with the insert when that is the case. Both parts are
available as a kit (outlet pipe set). See the Spare Parts List for part number.
The outlet pipe set contains two parts:
• The plastic insert (3)
• The metal outlet pipe (1)
Procedure
1. Stop the compressor, depressurize and switch off the voltage.
2. Loosen the coupling (3) while fixating the nipple (2) with a spanner.
3. Remove the outlet pipe together with the nipple
4. Fit the nipple to the new outlet pipe and tighten. Use only PTFE tape.
5. Fit the plastic insert in place as indicated on the drawing and assemble the outlet
pipe with a maximum torque of 10 Nm (7.4 lbf.ft) plus maximum one turn (360°).
Warning: If the outlet pipe is tightened too hard, the insert can break, resulting in
overheating of the compressor element.
