Setup
1. Connect the Air Line
NOTE:
You must install an air pressure regulator (F) on
each gun air line to control air pressure to the gun.
See Fig. 4.
If your regulated air source does not have a filter,
install an air filter (G) on each air line to ensure a
dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture
can ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece.
See Fig. 4.
Install an air shutoff valve (E) on each gun air
supply line, downstream of the gun air regulator, to
shut off air to the gun.
Use 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) I.D. air hoses to minimize
excessive pressure drop in the hoses. See the
Pressure Drop Chart on page 11 for the expected
pressure drops through a 25 ft. (7.625 m) hose.
A. For manifolds 241696 and 241697, the gun cylin-
der, fan, and atomization air must be supplied and
regulated separately. Connect an air supply line to
the fan air inlet (R) if desired. See Fig. 6. For man-
ifold 243950, only one supply line is required for
both atomization and fan air.
NOTE: The gun atomizing and fan air inlets are
1/4–18.6 npsm compound male thread that is compat-
ible with 1/4–18 npsm and R1/4–19 bsp female swivel
connectors. The cylinder air inlet accepts 1/4 in.
(6.3 mm) O.D. tubing.
B. Connect each air hose (D) to a regulated air sup-
ply line (H).

2. Connect the Fluid Hose
NOTE:
Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air
and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is
compatible with the fluid to be sprayed.
Install a fluid regulator (L) on the fluid line to control
fluid pressure to the gun. See Fig. 5.
Install a fluid shutoff valve (M) to shut off the fluid
supply to the gun.
Filter the fluid line of coarse particles and sediment
to avoid clogging the fluid nozzle and causing
finishing defects.
A. Connect the fluid supply hose (J) to the gun fluid
inlet (S) 3/8–18 npsm [R 3/8–19] compound
thread. See Fig. 6.
B. Connect the other end of the fluid hose (J) to a
regulated fluid supply line (K).
C. In a circulating system, connect a grounded fluid
return hose to the gun fluid outlet (T).
In a non-circulating system, remove the gun
fluid outlet fitting (T) and plug the outlet port with
the pipe plug supplied.
