2. Air systems should be checked daily for leaks. This helps to prevent unnecessary load on the
compressor and helps increase energy savings.
3. Examples of air systems:
DANGER: NEVER install a shut off valve such as a glove or gate
valve between the pump discharge and the air tank unless an
ASME rated safety valve rated for the correct pressure is installed
in the line between the valve and the compressor pump.
Closed loop system. Install tee fitting in piping from air to minimize
pressure drop and to allow air flow in two directions.
