INSTALLATION
1. Shut off air pressure. Install filter/regulator in air line -
● vertically (bowl down),
● with air flow in direction of arrow on body,
● upstream of lubricators and cycling valves,
● as close as possible to the device being serviced.
2. Connect piping to proper ports using pipe thread sealant
on male threads only. Do not allow sealant to enter
interior of unit.
3. Push bowl, or bowl with guard, into body and turn fully
clockwise before pressurizing.
4. Flexible tube with 3mm (0.125") minimum I.D. can be
connected to the automatic drain. Avoid restrictions in
the tube.
5. Install a pressure gauge or plug the gauge ports. Gauge
ports can also be used as additional outlets for regulated
air.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Before applying inlet pressure to filter/regulator, turn
adjustment (1 or 7) counterclockwise to remove all force
on regulating spring.
2. Apply inlet pressure, then turn adjustment (1 or 7)
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure setting.
3. Always approach the desired pressure from a lower
pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower
setting, first reduce to some pressure less than that
desired, then bring up to the desired pressure.
NOTE
With non-relieving filter/regulators, make pressure
reductions with some air flow in the system. If
made under no flow (dead-end) conditions, the
filter/regulator will trap the over-pressure in the
downstream line.
4. KNOB ADJUSTMENT. Push knob down to lock pressure
setting. Pull knob up to release. Install tamper resistant
cover (see Replacement Items) to make setting tamper
resistant.
5. T-BAR ADJUSTMENT. Tighten lock nut (8) to lock
pressure setting.
SERVICING
1. Open manual drain to expel accumulated liquids. Keep
liquids below baffle (51).
2. Clean or replace filter element when dirty.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Filter/regulator can be disassembled without removal
from air line.
2. Shut off inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in inlet and
outlet lines to zero.
3. Turn adjustment (1 or 7) fully counterclockwise.
4. Remove bowl - push into body and turn
counterclockwise.
5. Disassemble in general accordance with the item
numbers on exploded view. Do not remove the drains
unless replacement is necessary. Remove and replace
only if they malfunction.
CLEANING
1. Clean plastic bowl (25, 42) with warm water only. Clean
other parts with warm water and soap.
2. Rinse and dry parts. Blow out internal passages in body
(16) with clean, dry compressed air. Blow air through
filter element (52) from inside to outside to remove
surface contaminants.
3. Inspect parts. Replace those found to be damaged.
Replace plastic bowl with a metal bowl if plastic bowl
shows signs of cracking or cloudiness.
