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 di-ester 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.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls
where chemical attack may 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 (1030 kPa) pressure rating and a
maximum temperature rating of 52°C (125°F).
WARNING
!
Product rupture can cause serious injury.
Do not connect regulator to bottled gas.
Do not exceed maximum primary pressure rating.
Introduction

Installation
1. The Filter / Regulator 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 / Regulator and equipment being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and liquids.
3. Select a Filter / Regulator location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected.
4. Install Filter / Regulator so that air flows in the direction of arrow on body.
5. Install Filter / Regulator vertically with the bowl drain mechanism at the
bottom. Free moisture will thus drain into the sump ("quiet zone") at the
bottom of the bowl.
6. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the Filter / Regulator body for
your convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or socket pipe plugs
into each port during installation.
Operation
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the filter.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated
moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the baffle or end cap.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when pressure
differential across the filter is 69 kPa (10 psig).
4. Before turning on the air supply, turn the knob counterclockwise until
compression is released from the pressure control spring. Then turn knob
clockwise and adjust regulator to desired downstream pressure. This
permits pressure to build up slowly in the downstream line.
