Subject:

Traditionally, Bendix has recommended that its compressors in the category of 12 C.F.M. (cubic feet per minute)
and above have a minimum of ½” O.D. tubing coolant lines or flexible hoses with an equivalent I.D. Some
manufacturers have deviated fro m this recommendation and have used smaller lines or tubing. In most cases, at
least acceptable cooling was obtained.

Because of the increased air delivery of the Tu-Flo 700, ½” tubing coolant lines must be used or the coolant flow
through the compressor should be checked. The minimum recommended coolant fl ow is 2½ gallons per minute at
maximum engine governed speed. This may mean that the original coolant lines on the vehicle will have to be
changed when changing over from other compressors to the Tu-Flo 700.
