WARNING
Bleed-Type Master Air Valve and Fluid Drain
Valve
A bleed-type master air valve and a fluid drain valve
are required on your system.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between itself and the pump. Trapped air can cause
the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in
serious bodily injury, including splashing in the eyes,
injury from moving parts, or contamination from
hazardous fluids.
The fluid drain valve reduces the risk of serious
bodily injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the
skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids. Install
the fluid drain valve close to the pump’s fluid outlet to
relieve pressure in the hose if the hose becomes
plugged.
1. Mount the air line accessories on the wall or on a
bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the accessories
is grounded.
a. The pump speed can be controlled in one of two
ways: To control it on the air side, install an air
regulator (Order Graymills Part No. FRL–2). To
control it on the fluid side, install a fluid valve
near the outlet.
b. Install a bleed-type master air valve downstream
from the air regulator, and use it to relieve trapped
air. See the Bleed-Type Master Air Valve and
Fluid Drain Valve warning on page 5. Locate
another bleed-type master air valve upstream from
all air line accessories, and use it to isolate the
accessories during cleaning and repair.
c. The air line filter removes harmful dirt and mois-
ture from the compressed air supply.
2. Install a flexible air hose between the accessories and
the pump air inlet. Screw the air line fitting into the
air inlet.
3. Do not restrict the exhaust port. Excessive exhaust
restriction can cause erratic pump operation.
Fluid Lines
Fig. 1. On each end of the fluid manifold are a fluid IN port
and a fluid OUT port. NOTE: Make sure the fluid OUT
port on the fluid manifold is mounted up, Fig. 1. This
will assure proper pump priming. Fluid-in and fluid-out
lines can be connected on the same end, or opposite ends of
the manifold. Plug ports that are not used (plugs provided).
