•
Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet. Piping that is
too small will restrict the flow of
air.
•
If piping is over 100 feet long,
use the next larger size.
•
Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather
and freeze. Apply pressure
before underground lines are
covered to make sure all pipe
joints are free of leaks.
FEEDER LINES SLOPE
AIR FLOW
MAIN DISTRIBUTION AIR LINES
Slope pipe in direction of air flow.
Water condensate flows along
bottom of pipe to drain legs,
preventing it from entering feeder
lines.

•
A flexible coupling is
recommended to be installed
between the air discharge outlet
and main air distribution line to
allow for vibration.
•
A separate regulator is
recommended to control the air
pressure. Air pressure from the
tank is usually to high for
individual air driven tools.
