Installation
1. This unit should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever
possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a
minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compounds should
be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe - never into the female port.
Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off
and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install unit so that air flow is in the direction of arrow. Installation must be upstream
of and close to devices it is to service (valve, cylinder, tool etc.). Mounting of
regulators may be in any position; mounting of filter/regulators must be vertical as
shown in figure.
3. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the regulator body for your convenience.
It is necessary to install a gauge or pipe plug into each port during installation.
4. To protect regulator units against rust, pipe scale, and other foreign matter, install a
filter on the upstream (high pressure) side as close to the regulator as possible.
Operation of Regulator
1. Before turning on air supply, turn adjusting handle counterclockwise until
compression is released from control spring. Then turn on air supply and adjust
regulator to desired secondary pressure by turning adjusting handle clockwise. This
permits pressure to build up slowly, preventing any unexpected operation of the
valve, cylinders, tools, etc., attached to the line. Adjustment to desired secondary
pressure can be made only with primary pressure applied to the regulator.
2. To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from a pressure lower than
the final setting desired. For example, lowering the secondary pressure from 550 to
410 kPa (80 to 60 PSIG) is best accomplished by dropping the secondary pressure
to 350 kPa (50 PSIG), then adjusting upward to 410 kPa (60 PSIG).
Operation of Filter / Regulator
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the Filter /
Regulator.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture and
oil reaches the bottom of the element holder. Automatic drain models (pulse drain)
will collect and dump liquids automatically. They are actuated when a pressure drop
occurs within the filter.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when the pressure differential
across the filter is excessive.
Service
! Caution: SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and secondary
pressure before disassembling unit. (Units may be serviced without
removing them from the air line.)

! WARNING
To avoid polycarbonate bowl rupture that can cause personal injury or
property damage, do not exceed bowl pressure or temperature ratings.
Polycarbonate bowls have a 150 PSIG pressure rating and a maximum
temperature rating of 125°F.
WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to this
product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature, and
other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the product
does not operate properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered by
paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local representative
for replacement labels.
!
CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters
and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but
should not be located in areas where they could be subjected to direct sunlight,
an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated range. As with most
plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls should not
be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols.
They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with
fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and diester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of most
such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are present
or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific recommendations
where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY!
DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,
gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
