Read entire section before beginning work.
When pressure in the storage vessel is 4 psi (0.28 bar) or more,
apply equal or greater pressure to the air cannon inlet.
Absence of inlet pressure will allow material in the storage
vessel to enter the air cannon and contaminate the valve body
and tank.

Installing manual valves and electrical solenoid valves

Materials Required:
• Air filter/regulator/lubricator (1/2-in. NPT).
• Bushing (1/2-in. by 3/4-in.).
• Check valve (1/2-in. NPT).
• Lockout ball valve (1/2-in. NPT).
• Manual 3-way valve or electrical solenoid valve (1/2-in.).
®
• Martin Air Motor Oil.
• Pipe (1/2-in. NPT).
• Quick exhaust valve (1-in.).
• 90° street elbow (optional for quick exhaust valve—1-in.).
• 90° street elbow (optional for manual or electrical solenoid valves—3/4-in.).
To prevent leaking, apply pipe sealant to all fittings. Air
cannon will discharge randomly if leaks are present.
1. Apply pipe sealant to all fittings.
Use ASME-approved relief valve only (supplied with XHV Air
Cannon).
2. Remove dust cap from tank inspection port and install relief valve
(A, Figure 13 or 14). Make sure other inspection ports are tightly plugged.
