Glossary'
Become familiar with these terms before operating our products:
Air-Knife: Pressurized air that is rapidly leaking through a small hole or port (such as the
Pressure Vent Hole on the Regulator) that could act as a sharp knife and cut your finger.
Composite Pressure Vessel/Cylinder/Tank/Bottle: Terms used interchangeably to
mean a fiberglass wrapped or carbon-fiber wrapped cylinder with either an aluminum
liner or steel liner that holds pressurized gas i.e., air, nitrogen, helium, argon, etc.
Depressurize: To release leftover moisture and air pressure in the system after filling up
a Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank.
Fastener: A general term used for any type of fastener that shoots from a pneumatic tool.
Fill Adapter: An apparatus used to fill a Turanair System at a Dive Shop, Paintball
Field, or any other high pressure compressor that uses a CGA fitting.
Full Fill: When the Turanair System is refilled to its designated psi rating, i.e., 4500 psi
equivalent at 70°F (full capacity).
High Pressure Air (HPA): A general term for compressed air at pressures of 3000 psi
or greater.
Quick Connect Coupler: Used to connect two parts or products together so that
compressed air/gas can be transferred.
Rapid-Fill: Filling at greater than 600 psi / minute.
Under pressure or pressurized: Means the system is "ON" and/or there is compressed
air of some capacity in the Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank, hoses and/or Regulator.
Unraveling of Fibers: Means that the Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank has been extensively
damaged, and the fibers are unraveling from the exterior of the Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle
/ Tank. If this occurs, then you must IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE
CYLINDER / VESSEL / BOTTLE / TANK. It must be inspected by a Hydro-Static
Testing Facility before it can be used again (See Bottle/Tank Maintenance.) If you use a
faulty Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle / Tank then you WILL RUN THE RISK OF
PROPERTY OR BODILY DAMAGE. (SEE WARNINGS)
Never cover any hole or port that is leaking
with your finger.

5. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE REGULATOR from the Turanair
System while it is under pressure.
6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANY EXTERNAL PART on the
Regulator while under pressure.
USER GUIDE
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 8 of 24 v2.00
7. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THE REGULATOR to any other type
of cylinder (whether carbon fiber, steel, fiberglass, aluminum, etc.) other
than the KOMPTEC Cylinder that the Regulator came on.
8. ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR PNEUMATIC TOOL from your Turanair
System before doing any maintenance or clearing a jammed fastener on your
air tool.
9. ALWAYS LEAVE THE Turanair System in its protective pouch to help
eliminate unnecessary nicks and scratches that may occur on the surface of
the bottle/tank.
10. CHECK YOUR Turanair System REGULARLY for visual defects before
filling. NEVER use a bottle / tank that is leaking air, has missing or damaged
parts, visible signs of wear and tear, deep scratches or requires repair. (See
page titled, "Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle / Tank Visual Damage Evaluation")
11. NEVER FAST FILL OR "RAPID FILL" The Turanair System. Excessive
Cylinder heat due to "fast filling" could damage a cylinder.
12. NEVER USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN the parts on the
Regulator. Always manipulate by hand. Do not over tighten.
13. DO NOT HABITUALLY EMPTY THE Turanair System because it will
gradually lessen the life span of the bottle/tank.
14. IT IS SAFE TO KEEP IN A CAR under most temperatures from 60°C to -
54°C / 140°F to -65°F. The most that would happen is the gauges or another
port would safely release the air. (See Regulator Repair & Maintenance if
this happens.)
15. ALWAYS ATTACH THE AIR TOOL TO THE AIR HOSE AFTER the air
hose has been connected to the Turanair system. NOT BEFORE!
16. DO NOT FILL THE Turanair System with a pneumatic tool attached.
17. DO NOT OPERATE THE TURANAIR SYSTEM IF THE CYLINDER
HYDROSTAT TESTING IS OUT OF DATE.

2.1 REGULATOR'DIAGRAM'(FRONT'VIEW)'
A. High-Pressure Indicator: Located on the LEFT side of the Regulator and
indicates the amount of pressure inside the cylinder. Note that these small
indicators have +/- 10% accuracy, so are best used for relative measures.
B. Low-Pressure Indicator: Located on the RIGHT side of the Regulator and
indicates the amount of pressure that is being delivered through the air hose
to the pneumatic tool. Note that these small indicators have +/- 10%
accuracy, so are best used for relative measures.
C. Output Pressure Adjustment Knob: Located on the TOP of the Regulator.
Using the arrows, turn the Pressure Adjustment Knob SLOWLY, either way
to get the correct psi. To Increase Pressure: SLOWLY turn the Pressure
Adjustment Knob (C) CLOCKWISE. As you are turning it, you will see the
Low-Pressure Gauge (B) needle move. Stop turning just before the gauge
needle reaches the desired pressure. To Decrease Pressure: SLOWLY turn
the Pressure Adjustment Knob (C) COUNTERCLOCKWISE. You will need
to release the leftover air pressure as you are setting it. To see the gauge
needle come down, attach and operate a tool to release the pressure (E). The
knob should be returned to “Off” when the tool is not in use to prevent
unintended air leakage anywhere in the system.

Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 12 of 24 v2.00
D. Male Fill Port: Located on the LEFT side of the Regulator and attaches to
the quick connect coupler on a Fill Adapter (not supplied), to fill the Work
Bottle System. This Port has a rubber cover on it called a "cap". ALWAYS
leave this cap on when not using this Port. This is the only Port through
which dirt and debris can enter your Regulator.
E. Low-Pressure Output: Located on the RIGHT side of the Regulator with a
quick connect couple on the end which attaches to the air hose. Make sure
the Low Pressure Gauge (B) is 0 PSI when connecting the air hose. Once the
air hose is connected, then connect the pneumatic tool safely.

F. Relief Port Plug: To de-pressurize the Turanair System, use a 3mm Hex
Wrench to turn the Relief Port Plug one-half turn counter-clockwise and
allow to de-pressurize. Quickly releasing pressure will result in a cooling of
the regulator, potentially forming ice. De-pressurization should take at least
2 ½ to 3 minutes for a full tank.
Be sure to re-tighten the Relief Port Plug with hand tools before re-pressurizing.

Chapter(Name(
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 15 of 24 v2.00
All carbon fiber composite Cylinders/Vessels/Bottles/Tanks must be retested every FIVE
(5) years to insure safe operation by a certified Retest Facility. Please return the Work
Bottle system to KOMPTEC for this retesting. Any Hydrostat test must be performed on
or before the last day of the month preceding (before) the month of “Next Periodic
Retesting”
The example above requires retesting prior to Feburary, 2020.
5 Operating'Instructions'
1. Make sure your Turanair System is full or has air in it by checking the High-
Pressure Gauge (A) on the left. If you need to fill it, refer to the section titled
"Refill Options and Need to Know" and have it filled.
2. Attach the included air hose to the Low-Pressure Output (E). (NEVER use an
alternate hose or fitting unless it was purchased from KOMPTEC)
3. Refer to the tool operating manual for the input pressure requirements for the
pneumatic tool that will be connected to the output of the Turanair System.
Damage to the tool may occur if the output of the Turanair System exceeds the
tool’s recommended maximum input pressure.
4. Start with your Turanair System set to 0 PSI (or off). Slowly turn the Output
Pressure Adjustment Knob (C) clockwise using half turns to increase the psi. The
needle on the Low Pressure Gauge (B) will start to move.
5. Using the arrows on the Output Pressure Adjustment Knob (C), slowly turn it in
half turn increments, either way, to get the correct PSI. If you turn the PSI up
(higher), the Low Pressure Gauge (B) will register the correct PSI immediately. If
you turn the PSI down (lower), the Low Pressure Gauge (B) will reflect it only
when some of the air is released. (To release air, cycle the air tool.)
6. Check for tool adjustments, for example on a nailer, depth adjustment and then, if
necessary, turn the PSI higher. If it is countersinking the nail, turn the PSI lower.
6 Air'Tool'and'Shot'Count'Notes'
• Our Turanair System is so highly efficient that you should experiment with
your pneumatic tools to find the right psi for each tool – you might be able to
reduce operating pressure.
• The Turanair System can be used with almost any pneumatic tool that is
normally run by standard compressors.
• The air in the Turanair System is dry, clean air. This system can be used with
spray guns needing no other moisture filters.
• Many air tools require lubrication. Since the Turanair system does not include an
in-line lubricator, be sure to lubricate your tool as described in the tool’s operating
manual.
Chapter(Name(
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 16 of 24 v2.00
• The following suggestions are listed below to better aid you in receiving the best
possible shot count with your pneumatic tools.
1. Air Pressure For Pneumatic Tools Vary. Standard air pressure to run most tools
is 90 PSI-120 PSI. There are several factors that can affect the PSI amount and
shot count such as:
• Age of the Tool
• Tool Maintenance
• Material that you are shooting into
• Hot Climates/More Shots & Cold Climates/Less Shots (±10%)
• High Altitude Areas
• Air Leaks in the Tool
2. To Find the Proper PSI for your tool, simply take a few shots and see how the
fastener is sinking. The Regulator is set at 0 PSI and must be adjusted from there.
3. To Better Conserve Your Air and Shot Count, leave your tool attached to the
system (ONLY if the tool has a safety on it) as often as possible. It is NOT
necessary to disconnect the tool every time you take the System off.
4. Lubricate and Maintain Your Tools Regularly if you are interested in a high
shot count. Remember that you are used to having a constant and wasteful supply
of air for your tool from your old low-pressure compressor. If your tool was not
working efficiently or leaking air, you would have never realized it.
5. It Is Extremely Beneficial to the life span of the Turanair System and your shot
count if you don’t let your Turanair System drop below 500-1000 PSI before you
refill again. By maintaining at least 500 – 1000 PSI in your Cylinder, you
maintain pressure on all o-rings and seats.
6. You Are Likely to Waste Shots by having an "Itchy Trigger Finger". Certain
kinds of pneumatic tools have a particular trigger that is called an "Air Release
Contact Trip Trigger". If your tool has this kind of trigger then keeping your
finger on the trigger allows air to escape which reduces your shot count.
7 Refill'Options'and'Instructions'
NOTE: YOUR Turanair System HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND TESTED PRIOR
TO DELIVERY. YOUR Work Bottle System MUST BE FILLED PRIOR TO
FIRST USE.
If your Tool is leaking and you leave it
connected to the Turanair system, then your
air supply will leak out through your air tool
and empty the cylinder.
IMPORTANT
Chapter(Name(
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 17 of 24 v2.00
1. Fill Adapter (Used for any size Cylinder): The standard male quick connect on
the fill port should permit the Turanair System to be filled by any dive shop, or
any other location that has a 4500 psi or higher, high pressure compressor. The fill
adapter will be required if you’re working with your own High-Pressure
Compressor without a quick disconnect. Item is sold separately.
2. High-Pressure Compressor: KOMPTEC offers compressors that fill to 4500 psi
such as the KOMPTEC® KT-90 High Pressure Portable Compressor (Gas or
Electric). Be sure that whichever compressor you use has a Fill Adapter with a
standard high-pressure quick disconnect.
3. Other Options: There are several other options for refilling your Turanair
System’s cylinder including dive shops and paintball arenas.
NEED TO KNOW:
• KOMPTEC recommends filling to no more than the rated pressure 4500 psi at
70°F. The cylinders are either DOT or TC Certified for North America and PI for
Europe.
• Normal fill rates are up to 600 psi / min. Fast fill rates of up to 6000 psi / min can
be employed.
• Cylinders are rated for 4500psi at 70°F. Gas pressure and temperature are directly
related. That same 4500psi at 70°F will increase 13.2% at 140°F to 5100psi (The
ratio needs to be on the Rankine scale, with 460 being added to both numbers).
• DO NOT FILL the Turanair System with the pneumatic tool attached to the
hose.
• It is NORMAL for the Turanair System to get WARM when filling! You may
use the Turanair System warm; it will cool off pretty quickly. However a
cylinder filled to 4500 psi at a fast fill rate will cool, reducing the pressure of the
cylinder after cooling.
• Cylinders may be filled to pressures above 4500 psi as long as when the cylinder
cools to 70F the pressure does not exceed 4500 psi
• The Turanair System was designed to hold the air in until it is used with an air
tool. Therefore, the air should not leak out as long as there is no leaking air tool
attached. However it is a good practice to return the Output Pressure Adjustment
Knob to “off” when the system is not in use.
• The Turanair System can be stored in a car or truck under temperatures from
140°F to -65°F. The most that could happen is that the gauges or another port
would safely release the air. (See Regulator Repair and Regulator Maintenance
Sections if this happens.)
• Always keep the dust cap on the fill port of the Regulator. It is the only opening
that micro-particles can enter the Regulator. Even the smallest particles can affect
its performance.
Chapter(Name(
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 18 of 24 v2.00
8 Regulator'Maintenance'and'Repair'
8.1 Maintenance.'
• The Regulator is virtually maintenance free. It does not require any oil, lubricants
or adhesives.
• Keep the Regulator clean at all times. Wash clean using a hose or under a faucet.
• We recommend you keep your Work Bottle System in its pouch to protect it
from dings and scratches.
If you are experiencing any or all of the following problems with your system, it might be
time to service your Regulator. (See Troubleshooting)
• Sluggish response time
• Losing air too quickly
• Not working at all
There may be some debris inside the Regulator or the internal O-Rings may need to be
replaced. The Regulator can only be serviced by KOMPTEC. Call our Service
Department for further information. Always keep your receipt or a copy of it with your
original box and this manual so that the System can be tracked by the product serial
numbers.

Unraveling of fibers is a potentially dangerous
situation!
NB: Never fill or use a cylinder with signs of
unraveling!
As a rule, any composite cylinder that has
damage that penetrates the protective outer
coating or that cuts, unravels, or in any way
exposes the fibers underneath should be taken
out of service immediately and inspected at an
approved PI/DOT facility.
Composite cylinders are safe and durable
products. But like any pressurized product,
misuse or abuse can end in failure and possible
personal injury or death.
