There are a few different ways to hook the
compressed air into the machine.
The tank needs to be drained on a
frequent schedule. With the inlet and
drain on the bottom of the tank and the
machine. Denray had to quit placing
the inlet and drain pipe to the machines
due to the breakage. Then sending
the needed parts became a hassle
because whatever we sent, somebody
always wanted something else, so we
just make the recommendation. A simple
line in will work fine, but to drain the
water from the tank, will waste air and
may blast the moisture over an
undesirable area. That may be done by
disconnecting the hose or air line. The left
piping picture shows that.
The same pipe fittings and two 1/4" Brass
valves will make this job so
much easier. With the two valves
turn the one allowing air into the tank off.
Then just barely open the valve that tees
off draining any moisture in the tank.
Draining the moisture will lose very little
air. But the incoming air must be turned
off, or no moisture will leave the tank.
This piping method will allow the air line
to stay hooked up to the machine, and
drain the tank. With this method the
airline can be removed, leaving the air in
the tank. This method will drain the
moisture out, by barely opening the valve
allowing the moisture to just drip out, or
spray out with very little pressure
allowing the moisture spray out on the
floor. A short hose may be used to place
the moisture into a small can for disposal.
