BREATHING AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

INSTALLATION

1. Locate the Point of Attachment Box in a safe location of the work area.
DO NOT locate this assembly where it will be exposed to direct heat sources above 125°F (51°C).
Failure to follow this warning can cause assembly components to fail or malfunction, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
Always operate the breathing air system in an upright position. Failure to comply may result in the
following:
• Drains will not function properly and may leak air.
• Drains may clog.
• Filter elements may accumulate moisture.
Attach the upright support bracket if applicable.
2. Connect the user air supply source to the system's inlet using 1/2" I.D. breathing air hose. Apply pipe sealing tape to
all tapered thread connections. Wrap 1 to 1 ½ turns of tape in a clockwise direction (looking into the thread end of the
male fitting.).
3. Connect NIOSH-approved airline respirators to the outlet fittings as required. Stop off any unused outlets.
Note: Tighten all o-ring connections with tools.

OPERATION PROCEDURES

1. Activate inlet breathing air supply to a maximum of 150 psi.
2. Adjust the regulator in the point of attachment box to the pressure specified for the NIOSH-approved airline respirator
in use.
Note: Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to reduce pressure.
3. Ensure respirator connections to the box do not leak.
4. Don respirator as per instructions provided with the respirator. DO NOT don the respirator until the pressure is
properly adjusted.
• DO NOT connect more than four respirators to the manifold.
• DO NOT connect respirators that require different inlet pressures to the same manifold.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
The point of attachment box has a maximum rating capacity of 80 standard cubic feet per minute
(SCFM). Any additional demand can result in an insufficient supply of air to all respirators and
can result in serious personal injury or death.
