vertical position, directly in any horizontal run of compressed air or gas line,
making certain that the direction of flow through the unit Is correct. The
lower connection on the vessel side is the Inlet Nozzle. (Refer to assembly
drawing for location.)
-v
For draining the unit on intermittent service, a valve and dropleg are suitable,
but when the service is continuous, the use of a compressed air trap is
recommended.

k'
It is recemended that the Vape-Sorber be installed as near as possible to the
point of use of the air or gas to minimize condensation beyond the unit. - If
this is not possible, the unit should be located at a low point, cool point, or
other location of maximum condensation or liquid collection. The Vape-Sorber
