  • Page 14: Pneumatic Connection

    AFD remains clear of foreign matter. An auxiliary Purge Port on the 1240 Series (See Figure 6.) provides a pneumatic connection to supply this additional air flow. The port accepts a metric R 1/8 tapered pneumatic fitting.
  • Page 15 If a minimum air pressure cannot be achieved, then an auxiliary air compressor or booster pump with at least 2 SCFM (56 l/min) must be installed. NOTE: PushCorp highly recommends the use of flexible polyurethane tubing as opposed to nylon tubing. This is because nylon tubing tends to crimp shut when it is bent.
