SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
D. Optional Air Line Filter Installation
Additional filtering is recommended when using air from
a compressor to insure that moisture and debris from the
supply hose does not enter the torch. Although the Pres-
sure Regulator does have its own filter, the optional Dry
Air Filter (or optional Two Stage Air Line Filter) is rec-
ommended for improved filtering. Gas connections to
optional filters are shown in Figures 3-7 and 3-8 below.

up to 100 psi (6.9 bar) maximum and flows of up
to 200 scfh (94.3 lpm).
2. Slide the gas supply hose over the barbed fitting.
