Compressor & Relief Valve

  1. Install Hex Nipple 1/8” (216P-2) to VIAIR Compressor (00090) output port

  2. Connect Union Tee (2203P-2) to Hex Nipple 1/8” (216P-2)

  3. Connect Adapter 1/4” to 1/8” F/M (229-4-2) to Union Tee (2203P-2)

  4. Install Pressure Relief Valve (16-004-011) to the Adapter 1/4" to 1/8” F/M (229-4-2)

  5. Connect Male Connector (W68PLP-4-2) to the final slot on the Union Tee (2203P-2)

  • Secure all connection points with wrenches

  • Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections

  • The final product should look like the image above

  • The Pressure Relief Valve needs to be calibrated

Pressure Switch, Gauge, and Plug Valve

  1. Attach Male Connector (W68PLP-4-2) to a slot on the Union Tee (2203P-2)

  2. Install Pressure Switch (SM-2B-115R/443) into the middle slot of the Union Tee (2203P-2)

  3. Connect Hex Nipple 1/8” (216P-2) to remaining port on Union Tee (2203P-2)

  4. Connect a different Union Tee (2203P-2) to Hex Nipple 1/8” (216P-2)

  5. Attach Pressure Gauge (18-013-212) to middle port of Union Tee (2203P-2)

  6. Connect Hex Nipple 1/8” (216P-2) to remaining port on Union Tee (2203P-2)

  7. Attach Micro Valve (MV709-2) to the open threads on the Hex Nipple (216P-2)

  • Secure all connection points with wrenches

  • Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections

  • The final product should look like the image above

Regulator and Gauge

  1. Install one Male Connector (W68PLP-4-2) into the outlet pressure port of the Pressure Regulator (R07-100RNEA) (designated by a larger port with an arrow pointing away from the regulator)

  2. Install another Male Connector (W68PLP-4-2) into the inlet port of the Pressure Regulator (R07- 100RNEA) (this is the opposite port from the outlet where the other male connector was just installed)

  3. Attach Pressure Gauge (18-013-212) to an open port on the Pressure Regulator (R07-100RNEA)

  4. Plug the remaining port of the Pressure Regulator (R07-100RNEA with the plugs provided or the 1/8” Plug (218P-2) provide in the KOP

  5. The regulator should be mounted using the provided bracket and nut kit

  • Secure all connection points with wrenches

  • Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections

  • The final product should look like the third image above

  • The regulator needs to be adjusted for a specific pressure by rotating the knob

Actuation (i.e. pistons)

  1. Attach Elbow Push to Connect fittings (W369PLP-4-2) to both the inlet and outlet pressure port of the actuator

  • Secure all connection points with wrenches

  • Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections

Electrical Value (i.e. Solenoid)

  1. Screw in all three push to connect fittings into ports 1, 2 and 4 of the Solenoid Valve (566475)

  2. Connect both wires (566654) to the Electrical Sub Bases (566716)

  • The final product should look like the bottom image above but not exactly the same

  • This valve pictured above is a 24 volt solenoid, the same as the one provided in the KOP

Air Tank

  • The air tank in the KOP uses two push to connect fittings to make attachment easier

  • NEVER use the air tank outside of operating conditions

  • Install the air tank on the robot such that it is shielded from impact from other robots

  • When fastening tank do not over tighten or cause pressure to the outside of the tank
