FPS-500 on a weight-bearing wall that can support the system’s weight as
specified in this manual. Always install the FPS-500 indoors and upright away from accidental damage
by water or moving equipment. Install it in an environment between 40° and 100° F. Leave at least 6” on
the left side of the cabinet for ventilation. 36” of space is recommended for access to the control panel,
tube/pipe connections, and the front cover. There is a 1/4” OD tube drain port on the bottom right of the
cabinet. Plumb this to the nearest site drain.
There is a wall mounting bracket kit (STS Part #: A05-TYP1-RD), that allows you to mount the system
on a standard 16” wall stud width. Otherwise, use the mounting holes on the cabinet for mounting the
FPS-500 securely and level, directly to wall or to existing rack.

FPS-500 mounting holes and wall mounting bracket holes are for 1/4” screws/anchors
(not provided).
1. All brackets must be installed in orientation as shown to work correctly.
2. Install the cabinet-mounting brackets on the N

-BLAST
®
FPS-500 first with the provided bolts/lock
nuts.
3. Optional: If wall studs are not 16” center to center, reinforce the mounting area with a 1/2” or thicker
plywood prior to hanging the system. Use best general practices to ensure that the wood and
system will secure the system at its full weight. Remember that it will be vibrating with the
compressor running.
4. Locate the 18” wall-mounting bracket without the rectangular cutouts. Install it leveled on the wall at
the desired height. Mount the bracket directly to the wall studs using the 16” center to center holes.
See the figure below and use the appropriate hardware (not included) for the type of wall material
(wood, sheet metal, masonry, etc.). Once securing the 18” wall bracket, hang the fastened 12”
bracket on the cabinet’s top flange (from step 3) to the 18” wall bracket. Reference the figure below
to see how to orient the angles to the back of the cabinet in comparison to the wall.
a) Use the supplied carriage bolts and nuts to attach the 18” lower bracket to the bottom
flange, but do not tighten the nuts yet. After installing the system, position the unit using the
rectangular slots. Once the final location is determined, tighten the nuts.
5. Secure the bottom flange to the wall. Failure to do so could cause damage or bodily injury.
Warning: Secure the N

FPS-500 to the wall at the top and bottom flanges. Failure to do
so could cause damage or bodily injury.
