Speedaire Operating Instructions
Models 4MU10A and 3VB60
Installation (Continued)
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot,
moist environment, supply compressor
pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply
air should be piped in from external
sources. Use adapter kit (TF060502AV)
to connect piping to compressor.
TANK MOUNTING
The tank should be bolted into a flat,
even, concrete floor or on a separate
concrete foundation. Vibration isolators
should be used between the tank leg
and the floor. Model 4C974 isolator
pads are recommended. When using
isolator pads, do not draw bolts
tight. Allow the pads to absorb
vibrations. When isolators are used,
a flexible hose or co pling should be
installed between the tank and service
piping.

Failure to properly install the
tank can lead to cracks at the
welded joints and possible bursting.
PIPING
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to
the unit must be able to withstand the
temperature generated and retain the
pressure. All pressurized components
of the air system must have a pressure
rating higher than or equal to 200 psi
for twostage compressors or 150 psi for
single stage compressors ASME safety
valve setting. Incorrect selection and
installation of any tube, pipe or hose
could result in bursting and injury.
Connect piping system to tank using the
same size fitting as the discharge port.

INSTALLING A SHUT-OFF VALVE
A shut-off valve should be installed
on the discharge port of the tank to
control the air flow out of the tank. The
valve should be located between the
tank and the piping system.
the compressor pump and the tank.
Personal injury and/or equipment
damage may occur. Never use reducers
in discharge piping.
When creating a permanently installed
system to distribute compressed air,
find the total length of the system and
select pipe size from the chart. Bury
underground lines below the frost line
and avoid pockets where condensation
can gather and freeze.
