The model number designates the silencer type and connection size. For
example, the following part number identifies the product as being a ‘SLCR’
design side channel blower silencer with a 1” FPT connection size:
SLCR100
Note: The inlet connection greatly influences the overall pressure drop of the
filter system. To minimize the restriction contributed by a side channel blower
silencer, a velocity of 6,000 ft/min (10200m3/h) or less is suggested through the
outlet pipe. The table below lists the suggested flows based on pipe size:

factory or a regional representative should
be contacted prior to start-up.

leaks is reduced to a minimum.
2. Securing Silencer to Application Inlet or Outlet.
Place silencer on inlet or outlet connection and rotate to tighten. Note: Do NOT
over tighten!
3. Equipment Startup.
A. Be sure to read the instructions on installation as listed above before
starting equipment.
*WARNING*
B. Please check the listed steps prior to startup.
