tyPICAl InstAllAtIon
AIR DRyERs AnD AftER CoolERs
An air dryer or aftercooler is installed directly in the air line.
MoIstuRE REMoVAl AnD AIR fIltRAtIon
As the air cools, moisture will condense in the lines. This moisture
must be removed before it reaches the tool being used. To remove this
moisture, run the main air line downhill to a moisture trap and drain. Air/
water filters should also be installed in the positions shown.
AIR PREssuRE REgulAtIon
Install an air regulator in the drop line for each tool, to regulate air
pressure to that tool. Never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the
tool.
AIR lubRICAtIon
Install an air lubricator only for those tools requiring lubrication. Do not
use a lubricator for paint spraying or similar applications. The oil will
contaminate the paint and ruin the job.
sHut–off VAlVEs
Install shut–off valves in each drop line, to isolate the tool and its
accessories for servicing. You can also install a bypass line around an
accessory.
