The next figure represents
a typical
air distribution
system.
The following
a_ips
to remember
when setting
up
the air compressor's
air distribution
system.
•
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 (30.5 m)
long, use the next larger size.
,,
Bur,/underground
lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
p
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 recommend-
ed to be installed
between
the air
discharge
outlet and main air dis-
tribution
line to allow for Vibration.
A separate
regulator
is recom-
mended
to control
the air pres-
sure. Air pressure
from the tank
is usually to high for individual
air
driven
tools.
