How It Works: First, the air enters the compressed air particulate filter, which has 5-micron cleanable Polyethylene element. In this stage, corrosive moisture, pipe scale, dirt, and rust are removed from air line protecting the precision part in the air regulator. During Stage 2, fine filtration takes place in the coalescing air filter. 99.7 percentage of oil aerosols and microscopic particles down to 0.3 micron absolute are removed from the compressed air. Third Stage, the air enters a high-performance air pressure regulator, which reduces primary pressure to a desired pressure setting. Installation: Install units so the airflow is in the direction "IN-OUT" as indicated by the arrow on the head of the unit. Install filter first in line of additional units such as air regulators or air lubricators, and as close as possible to the pneumatic air tools or appliances being serviced. The unit must be installed parallel from floor, downstream position for proper function. Do not install polycarbonate bowl in pressure that exceeds 150 PSI or where there is a presence of solvents harmful to polycarbonate. In these cases, use a metal bowl. The Unit can dis-assemble or assemble using a Phillips-head screwdriver or Allen wrench. An insert feature allows simple installation and removal in any location without disturbing the existing piping arrangement. The regulator can be mounted in either up or down position. This unique design allows unlimited adaptation to air preparation systems. This filter regulator unit will permit the use of standard size pipe nipples. Operation & Adjustments: Filtering out dirt and foreign particles, and the separation of moisture is automatic with air flow. There are no moving parts and no adjustments are necessary. Accumulated sludge and moisture should be drained off. Sediment should not be permitted to fill above the lower baffle. Wash filter element at intervals with methylene chloride or similar cleansing fluid to maintain filtering efficiency.
