General Requirements

The piping, fittings, receiver tank, etc. must be certified safe for at
least the maximum working pressure of the unit. Use hard welded
V,W
V,W
or threaded steel or copper pipes, cast iron fittings and hoses that
are certified safe for the units discharge pressure and temperature.
Use pipe thread sealant on all threads, and tighten joints thoroughly
to prevent air leaks. DO NOT USE PVC PLASTIC.
for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure
rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe
for air distribution.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING

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
