Routing of Air and Fluid Hoses
Starting at the applicator, route the air hose along
the same path as the low voltage cable to the low
voltage control unit. The fluid hose can be run
with the low voltage cable and air hose or it can
be separate and run to the fluid source. Do not
expose the hoses to high temperatures (over
120°F) and/or conditions such as moving parts,
foot traffic, vehicle traffic, etc.
Prior to connecting the air hose to the low voltage
unit and the fluid hose to the fluid supply, adjust
the hose and low voltage cable position at the
applicator to relieve some strain on the low voltage
cable. To do this, perform the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the air hose from the applicator.
2. Position the air hose 1-inch (2.5cm) away from
the bottom of the handle.
3. Secure the air hose to the low voltage cable.
Secure the two together at one additional location,
about 12-16-inches (30-41cm) back.
4. With a wrench, reconnect and secure the air
hose to the applicator. (This should form a small
loop in the low voltage cable.)
5. Secure the fluid hose to the air hose and low
voltage cable as needed.
Adjust the length of the air hose to the low voltage
controller and install the fitting to the hose.
Air Hose Recommendation
Ransburg recommends using a 79547-XX air
hose assembly that may be ordered through
your authorized Ransburg distributor. This hose
performs best with the Vector to reduce air hose
stiffness along with weight reduction. Available
hose lengths are listed in "Accessories" in the
"Parts Identification" section of this manual.
Fluid Hose Recommendation
Ransburg recommends using a 79548 fluid hose
assembly. This assembly is made to specifically
fit the fluid fitting size engineered into the applica-
tor. This hose is available from your authorized
Ransburg distributor. Available hose lengths are
listed in "Accessories" in the "Parts Identification"
section of this manual.
† Any user installed air hose must be rat-
ed for 100 psig (6.9 bar) working pressure
minimum.

Air and Fluid Hose Installation
The fluid inlet fitting for the Vector applicator is
3/8-18 NPSM(M). When installing a fluid hose,
tighten the fitting adequately to prevent any fluid
leaks. The air inlet fitting is 1/4-18 NPSM(M). When
installing the air hose, use a wrench to hold the air
inlet fitting on the Vector and tighten the air hose
fitting enough to prevent any air leaks.
† Any user installed fluid hose used must
be rated for 100 psig (6.9 bar) working
pressure minimum.
C A U T I O N !
† When securing the air hose, fluid hose,
and low voltage cable together, take care
not to use items such as wire or anything
that might cut into the hoses or cable. If
wire ties are used, they should only be tight
enough to secure the cable and not so tight
that they might restrict fluid and air flow.
