INSTALLATION

4.3 SERVICE AIR PIPING
Service air piping should be installed as shown in
Figure 4-1. A shut-off valve should be installed to
isolate the compressor from the service line if
required. Also notice that the service line should be
equipped with water legs and condensate drains
throughout the system.
"The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends against
the use of thermoplastic pipe to transport com-
pressed air or other compressed gases in exposed
above ground locations, e.g. in exposed plant pip-
ing." (I)
Sullube should not be used with PVC piping sys-
tems. It may affect the bond at cemented joints.
Certain other plastic materials may also be affect-
ed.
(I) Plastic Pipe Institute, Recommendation B,
Adopted January 19, 1972.
4.4 COUPLING ALIGNMENT CHECK
No coupling alignment is required.
4.5 FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The air compressor is also supplied with the proper
amount of fluid. However, it is necessary to check
the fluid level at installation. The level is checked by
looking at the sight glass located near the sump. If
the sump is properly filled, fluid should be visible in
the sight glass. The maximum fluid level is the level
of the filler port.
4.6 ELECTRICAL PREPARATION- STANDARD
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL
Interior electrical wiring is performed at the factory.
Required customer wiring is minimal, but should be
done by a qualified electrician in compliance with
OSHA, National Electrical Code, and/or any other
applicable State, Federal and local electrical codes
concerning isolation switches, fused disconnects,
etc. Sullair provides a wiring diagram for use by the
installer.
Customer must provide electrical supply power
disconnect within sight of machine.
A few electrical checks should be made to help
assure that the first start-up will be trouble-free.
Lethal shock hazard inside. Disconnect all power
at source before opening or servicing.
