• The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of
the rail should normally be 3–5 m (10–16 ft).
• The rail is to be installed at least 0.3 m (1 ft) from
walls, pillars etc.
• The distance from the rail's leading edge to the sta-
tion door should be as short as possible. Make sure
the door can open freely without interference to the
rail. The distance should be at least 0,3 m (1 ft).
• If Pneumatic Rail System, PRS is to be used between
two vehicles, the distance between the vehicles
must be at least 0.6 m (2 ft).

• The edge of the exhaust pipe must have a free dis-
tance to surrounding vehicle parts.
• Check that the nozzle, after disconnection, does not
catch any part of the vehicle. It is possible that modi-
fications may be required to the exhaust system to
ensure the optimum position of the exhaust pipe.
Recommended diameter of the exhaust pipe:
• 50-85 mm (2-3 1/3 in) for the 125 mm (5 in) nozzle.
• 63-140 mm (2 1/2-5 in) for the 160 mm (6 1/3 in)
nozzle.
• 125-180 mm (4.9-7 in) for the 203 mm (8 in) nozzle.

• Compressed air feeding from one side is recommen-
ded.
• The compressed air hose spiral shall be cut in two
pieces with a length of approximately 60 cm (2 ft)
each in order for the compressed air hose spiral to
fit between the compressed air hose spiral carriers
when feeding from one side.
4.4.2 Rail lengths greater than 20 m (66 ft)
See
• Compressed air feed on both sides of the rail is re-
commended. One side supplying trolley 1 and 3, and
