Installation
Area
Exhaust air from this unit can be used to
supplement environment heat. Install unit in
separate room then create duct system as shown in
figure 3.
1. Install compressor in a clean, well
ventilated and well lit area. Make sure air
inlet is away from exhaust fumes or other
toxic, noxious or corrosive fumes or
substances. Installation area must
maintain low relative humidity and a
temperature range between 35
o
– 110
o
F
(2
o
– 43
o
C). This unit must be kept
under roof and away from rain, snow,
etc.
In environments where fine dust
is common, such as granite or concrete plants, the
compressor MUST be installed in a separate area
with dedicated ventilation. Failure to provide dust
free operating area voids the warranty.
For Cold Weather Use:
Open shop vent and close outside vent to
use exhaust heat from compressor.
For
Warm Weather Operation:
Close shop vent and open outside vent to
divert exhaust heat outdoors.

2. Clearances around compressor. At least:
 24 inches sides and back
 3 feet in front of compressor.
This compressor unit is equipped
with internal rubber vibration isolators. To avoid
internal pump damage, DO NOT use an additional
rubber mounting surface when installing
compressor.
3. Make sure compressor base is on a hard,
flat surface and anchored securely.
4. If installation is above the first story of a
building, use appropriate vibration
insulation.
Tank Sizing Guideline: Tank
capacity must be at least 1.2 gallons (5.3 L.) for
every CFM of air produced by compressor. This
eliminates wear on internal pump parts.
Piping
Safety Steps
1. Install appropriate flow-limiting valves as
necessary, according to pipe size(s) and
run lengths. This reduces pressure in case
of hose failure, per OSHA Standard 29
CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size
and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves
accordingly, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Do not install check valve as compressor
has internal check valve.
Installing
1. Install piping as shown in Figure 4. Refer
to Figure 5 for recommended, closed loop
installation.
2. Make sure any tube, pipe or hose
connected to the unit can withstand
operating temperatures and retain pressure.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe
for compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
