English Main power disconnect switch • If piping is over 100' (30.5 m) long, use the next larger size. Install a main power disconnect switch in the line from the panel • Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets to the compressor. The main power disconnect switch must be located near the compressor, for ease of use and safety. When turned OFF, the main power disconnect switch shuts off all power to the compressor. When it is turned ON, the compressor will start and stop automatically, controlled by the pressure switch. where condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure before underground lines are covered to make sure all pipe joints are free of leaks. • A flexible coupling is recommended to be installed between the globe valve/air discharge outlet and main air distribution line to allow for vibration. • A separate regulator is recommended to control the air Air Distribution System pressure. Air pressure from the tank is usually too high for individual air driven tools. WARNING: Risk of bursting. Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed • DO NOT install lubricators between the tank and any spray for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure equipment, air tool or accessory requiring oil-free filtered air. rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe • Drain all traps, filters and dirt legs daily. for air distribution lines. INSTALLING AND DISCONNECTING HOSES WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor's air distribution system. NOTE: Compressed air from oil lube air compressors will contain wa­ter condensation and oil mist. Several drains, traps and filters will be needed to supply air without water (including aerosols) or oil to spray equipment, air tools and accessories requiring filtered air. Always read the in­struct­ions for the air tools and accessories being used. • Use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. 13
