The membrane drying kit can be mounted anywhere near the compressed air dryer. The kit is pre-assembled with a bracket that can be mounted to any flat surface with two screws. Use Figure 5 as a reference for this installation.

1.Remove the large particle filter, including the close nipple, from the inlet of the compressed air dryer.

2.Attach the large particle filter (including the close nipple) to the membrane drying kit.

Note: The membrane drying kit must have the large particle and the coalescing filters in place and functioning properly to ensure full drying capabilities of the membrane. Both filters must be checked and cleaned regularly.
