•Air and fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
•Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
•Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
•Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local code. Use only conductive metal pails placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity
Check your system electrical continuity after the initial installation, and then set up a regular schedule for checking continuity to be sure proper grounding is maintained.
