1/5/09 FORM NO. 8X907
BOWL Maximum Pressure Temperature Range
Metal 250 PSI 40°F to 160°F
Metal with Auto Drain 30 to 175 PSI 40°F to 120°F
INSTALLATION: lnstall filter so the air flow is in the direction of the
arrow on the head of the unit. Filter should be installed upstream of
regulators. If an air dryer is being used, install the filter downstream
from the dryer. A 40 micron pre-filter is recommended to greatly extend
the life of the coalescer element. When the coalescer element
becomes clogged with dirt, it must be replaced. If it is kept free from
dirt, it will coalesce oil indefinitely. A pre-filter will remove water and dirt
before it reaches the coalescer, and will reduce maintenance costs.
The coalescer filter is then free to remove oil, oil vapors and sub-
micron sized particles without prematurely clogging with large particles
of dirt and scale.
WARNING: Units are die cast aluminum, do not over torque when
installing. Also, pressurize unit slowly after installation of unit or
new element to avoid damage to element.
OPERATION ADJUSTMENTS: lf the filter is installed properly, it
should give long trouble-free service. The pressure drop across the
filter should not exceed 10 PSI. If the pressure drop exceeds 10 PSI,
either the filter element needs to be replaced or the unit is being
operated beyond its capacity and a larger size unit is required.
Operating the filter at a pressure drop in excess of 10 PSI will greatly
reduce the efficiency of the filter.
If oil appears downstream: 1) check downstream air lines to be sure
that they are free of residual oil; 2) check to see that the filter element
and 0-ring are in good condition and installed properly.
Warning! For compressed air service only. Not to be used on
life support or breathing air systems.
