Air Supply

All tools are operated with compressed air at an optimum pressure of 5.5 bar. We recommend the use of pressure regulators and
automatic oiling/filtering systems on the main air supply. To ensure maximum tool life and minimum tool maintenance they should be
fitted within 3 metres of the tool (see diagram below).
Air supply hoses should have a minimum working effective pressure rating of 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system
or 10 bar, whichever is the highest. Air hoses should be oil resistant, have an abrasion resistant exterior and should be armoured
where operating conditions may result in hoses being damaged. All air supply hoses MUST have a minimum bore diameter of 6.4
1
millimetres or / inch.
