piping and wiring shall be completed and operationally tested prior to shipment.
Provide liquid tight conduit, fittings and junction boxes for all control and
power wiring.
The medical air compressors shall be of the
totally oil-less reciprocating air-cooled design. Connecting rod and bearings
shall be packed with lifetime lubrication and sealed.
Each compressor shall be belt driven by a
____ HP, 3 phase, 60 cycle, ______ volt, 1750 RPM, ODP NEMA construction motor.
Slide bases for convenient belt tension adjustment and totally enclosed
OSHA approved belt guards shall be provided.
Each air compressor shall have a capacity of
________ SCFM at 100 PSIG.
The system shall include individual
compressor inline intake filters, discharge check valves of bronze construction,
safety relief valves, bronze intake and discharge flexible connectors, solenoid
unloaders, isolation valves, air cooled aftercoolers for each compressor, high
discharge temperature shut down switches on each cylinder, pressure control
switches, as well as copper tubing with shut-off cock for gauge and switches.
The system shall include a ______ gallon pressure storage tank of ASME
construction rated for 200 PSI MWP service. For compressors 7.5 HP and higher
the tank shall be suspended between the heavy duty base supports, so the it is
isolated from the weight of the compressors.
The tank shall be equipped with a pressure gauge, safety relief valve, 3
way by-pass, gauge glass and automatic electronic tank drain with manual

Externally operable circuit breaker with
door interlock, control circuit transformer with fused primary and secondary
coils, H-O-A switch, magnetic starter with 3 leg overload protection, hour meter
and motor running light. Provide the panel with a multiple position selector
switch for selection of normal operation (automatic alternation) or manual
selection of lead and lag pumps if one of the pumps is taken out of service due
to scheduled maintenance. Provide audible and visual local alarm (complete with
indicating lights and individual sets of auxiliary contacts wired to the
terminal strip for remote alarm indication) for the following: compressor
temperature malfunction and reserve compressor in use. Provide manual reset for
