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.
• 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'(30.5m)long,usethenextlargersize.
• Buryundergroundlinesbelowthefrostlineandavoidpocketswhereconden-
sation 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airdischarge
outlet and main air distribution line to allow for vibration.
• Aseparateregulatorisrecommendedtocontroltheairpressure.Airpressure
from the tank is usually to high for individual air driven tools.
