A
Installation
1. The filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible – repair service kits are available.
Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean
and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound 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. Also, new pipe or hose should be installed
between the filter and equipment being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and
liquids.
3. Select a filter location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected and upstream of any pressure regulator.
4. Install filter so that air flows in the direction of arrow on body.
5. Install filter vertically with bowl drain mechanism at the bottom.
Free moisture will thus drain into the sump “quiet zone” at the
bottom of the bowl.
Operation and Service
1. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the
separated moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the lower
baffle.
2. The particulate filter element should be removed and replaced
when pressure differential across the filter is 10 PSIG.
3. Adsorber elements are designed to adsorb vaporous
contaminates. The relative efficiency of an adsorber varies
depending on the vapor to be adsorbed and the environmental
temperature. At higher temperatures, adsorbers become less
efficient.
Adsorber elements are not particle filters. All particles and
aerosols should be removed prior to adsorbing vaporous
contaminants. The initial pressure drop across an adsorber
element (1.5 PSIG maximum) should never increase. The
presence of any liquids, aerosols or particulate matter in an
adsorber indicates that the effective life of the element has been
exceeded and the element should be replaced and the system
cleaned.

T o 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
