Installation
1. The equipment to which the filter is attached should be internally
cleaned to remove all traces of accumulated oil and dirt. Also, new pipe
or hose should be installed between the filter and equip ment being
protected.
2. Blow all upstream pipe work clear of accumulated dirt and liquids.
3. Select a filter location as close as possible to the equipment being
protected and downstream of any pressure regulator.
4. A 5 micrometer pre-filter is recommended to pro tect the high efficiency
filter and to prolong the ele ment life.
5. Install filter so that air flows in the direction of ar row on cover.
6. Install filter vertically with the bowl drain mechan ism at the bottom.
Free moisture will thus drain into the sump “quiet-zone” at the bottom
of the bowl (automatic drain models are recommended as standard
equipment).

Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of
polycarbonate bowls where chemical attack may occasionally
occur.
! 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.
