setting. Incorrect selection and installa-
tion of any tube, pipe or hose could result
in bursting and injury. Connect piping sys-
tem 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.
Never install a
shut-off valve
between 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 under-
ground lines below the frost line and
avoid pockets where condensation can
gather and freeze.

from leaks BEFORE underground lines
are covered. Before putting the compres-
sor into service, find and repair all leaks
in the piping, fittings and connections.

WIRING
All wiring and
electrical connec-
tions must be performed by a qualified
electrician. Installations must be in
accordance with local and national
codes.

Premium and Professional Series
Wiring must be installed in accordance
with National Electrical Code and local
codes and standards that have been set
up covering electrical apparatus and
wiring. These should be consulted and
local ordinances observed. Be certain that
adequate wire sizes are used, and that:
1. Service is of adequate ampere rating.
2. The supply line has the same electri-
cal characteristics (voltage, cycles and
