Area; Piping - Eaton Compressor 5HP Manual

Personal Protective Equipment
Be sure all Be sure all operators and others around the pump and its controls comply with all applicable OSHA,
Federal, State and Local regulations, codes, and standards relating to personal protective equipment. This includes
respiratory protective equipment, protection for the extremities, protective clothing, protective shields and barriers,
electrical protective equipment, and personal hearing protective equipment.
Warning: Be sure to install belt guard after pump installation. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury.

Area

1. Install compressor pump in a clean, dry, and well-lit area. Be sure installation area can maintain a temperature
range between 35 degrees Fahrenheit (1.6 degrees Celsius) and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius).
2. Insulate cold water or other low temperature pipes that pass overhead to avoid condensation dripping on pump
which could cause rust or moisture build up.
3. If acid is used in operating environment or air is dust laden, you MUST pipe intake air from outside. Increase
pipe by one size for every 20 feet of run length. Be sure to install a protective hood around intake filter(s).
4. Allow sufficient space around pump for maintenance access. Mount with pulley towards wall and leave a
minimum of 15 inches of clearance.
5. Ensure location where pump is mounted is level. Uneven locations can damage the pump and void pump
warranty.
DANGER: DO
sandblasting occurs. Make sure inlet air is away from exhaust fumes or other toxic,
noxious, or corrosive fumes or substances.

Piping

1. Install appropriate flow-limiting valves as necessary according to pipe size and run length. This will reduce
pressure in case of hose failure per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly in accordance
with manufacturers recommendations.
3. Air systems should be checked daily for leaks. This helps to prevent unnecessary load/wear on the pump.
4. Ensure any tube, pipe, fitting, or hose connected to the pump can withstand operating temperatures and retain
pressure.
WARNING: Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result. Piping MUST have a pressure rating of 200 PSI or greater.
