• Pipe with as little restriction as possible. By minimizing restrictions, the air or
vapor eliminator will work as efficiently as possible.
• ¾" (or larger) pipe/hose is recommend to vent air or vapor to the storage tank.
• ½" pipe/hose is recommended for piping to an air check or differential valve (⅜"
is acceptable).
• If using hose, choose a type that will not collapse in on itself (heater hose,
hydraulic hose, etc.).
• Be sure a catch vessel or spit receptacle is vented with a vent no smaller than
the pipe/hose connected to it. (Catch vessels vary in size but most are between 2
and 5 gallons.)
• Pipe the air eliminator vent port into the top of the catch vessel for maximum
efficiency.
• Liquid Controls recommends that catch vessels be drained regularly and that the
volume is indicated with a sight gauge, for example.
