To mount the unit, use the following procedure:

Typical Remote Air Inlet Piping.

1.Mark the location of the mounting holes.

2.Drill 2-1/4" deep holes using a concrete drill bit sized per the following table.

	Tank Size		Drill Bit
	(Gal.)		Size
	120		1/2"
	240		5/8"
NOTE:		It may be helpful to use a piece of tape on the
		drill bit to mark the proper depth.

3.Drill a hole through the center of each isolation pad.

4.Drive the anchors into the mounting holes with the threaded portion up.

5.Place the isolation pads over the anchors as shown in the illustration below.

6.Position the compressor over the drilled holes and slowly lower the unit to the isolation pads.

7.Bolt the compressor to the floor using the 4" long bolts provided. Torque each bolt in a criss-cross pattern to 10 ft lb.

Direct to compressor air intake (if distance is less than 6 feet)

After the unit has been anchored into position, check the unit for level by placing a level on the subbase and checking the readings from side-to-side and from front-to-back. Use metal shims under the "short" feet if necessary to obtain level.

INSTALLING REMOTE AIR INLET PIPING

aCAUTION	Do not operate the unit without air inlet
	filtration.

If the air around the unit is relatively free of dirt, install the air inlet filter at the inlet connection at the pump. If the air is dirty, pipe the filter to a source of clean air. Use PVC plastic tubes for remote inlet piping. Do not use black pipe or galvanized pipe, as these promote sweating and rust. Consider installing an in-line type filter for ease of cleaning and replacement. Make the line as short and direct as possible and as large, or larger, than the diameter of the inlet connection on the pump. Do not install piping with a diameter lower than that of the pump intake.

Increase the pipe diameter one size for every 10 feet (3 m) of length or every 90° bend. Make sure the piping is adequately braced.

If you pipe the filter outdoors, cover it with a hood to prevent the entrance of rain or snow.

Heavy duty filter elements and filtration equipment are available for fine airborne dust, such as cement and rock dust.

INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING

aWARNING	Do not use plastic pipe, soldered copper
	fittings, rubber hose, or lead-tin soldered
	joints anywhere in the compressed air
	system.
aCAUTION!	If you will be using synthetic compressor
	lubricant, all downstream piping material and
	system components must be compatible. Refer to
	the following material compatibility list. If there
	are incompatible materials present in your
	system, or if there are materials not included in
	the list, contact Ingersoll-Rand for
	recommendations.

SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT

MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY LIST

SUITABLE

Viton®, Teflon®, Epoxy (Glass Filled), Oil Resistant Alkyd, Fluorosilicone, Fluorocarbon, Polysulfide, 2-Component Urethane, Nylon, Delrin®, Celcon®, High Nitrile Rubber (Buna N. NBR more than 36% Acrylonitrile), Polyurethane, Polyethylene, Epichlorohydrin, Polyacrylate, Melamine, Polypropylene, Baked Phenolics, Epoxy, Modified Alkyds (® indicates trademark of DuPont Corporation)

NOT RECOMMENDED

Neoprene, Natural Rubber, SBR Rubber, Acrylic Paint, Lacquer, Varnish, Polystyrene, PVC, ABS, Polycarbonate, Cellulose Acetate, Low Nitrile Rubber (Buna N. NBR less than 36% Acrylonitrile), EPDM, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, Latex, EPR, Acrylics, Phenoxy, Polysulfones, Styrene Acrylonitrile (San), Butyl

NOTE	All compressed air systems generate
	condensate which accumulates in any drain
	point (e.g. tanks, filters, drip legs,
	aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate
	contains lubricating oil and/or substances
	which may be regulated and must be
	disposed of in accordance with local, state,
	and federal laws and regulations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. The piping, fittings, air receiver tank, etc. must be certified safe for at least the maximum working pressure of the unit. Use hard-welded or threaded steel or copper pipes and cast iron fittings that are certified safe for the unit’s discharge pressure and temperature. DO NOT USE PVC PLASTIC IN THE COMPRESSED AIR DISCHARGE LINE. Use pipe thread sealant on all threads, and make up joints tightly to prevent air leaks.
