Product Description
The Type 30/30A/30S/ Mooney Filter is designed
to remove dirt and other particulates in the pilot
supply that could affect the resrictor or variable
orifice in the pilot.
The Filter can be used in a variety of other gas and
liquid applications.
Installation
The following instructions apply to mounting the Type
30/30A/30S/ Mooney Filter on the Flowgrid regulator,
FlowMax regulator and connecting to the pilot system.
Refer to the Flowgrid regulator, FlowMax regulator,
and Pilot IOM manuals for installation instructions and
start-up procedures.

Housing removed allowing easy inspection of the
element. Mounted on a 2” large single Port Flowgrid
Regulator with Series 20 Pilot and Type 24 Restrictor.
1. Personnel:
Installation of the Filter should be
made by qualified personnel familiar with high
pressure piping and pilot operated regulators.
2. Prior Inspection:
Inspect the Filter for any damage
that might have occurred in shipping. Make sure
the body ports are clear of foreign material.
3. Orientation:
The Type 30/30A/30S/ Mooney Filter
should be installed with the Drain Plug down to
allow drainage of liquids that may accumulate in
the Filter Housing (Refer to Figure 2, page 2).
4. Filter Mounting:
Apply pipe dope a 1/4 inch NPT
schedule 80 seamless pipe nipple and mount filter
by connecting the INLET connection on the filter to
the body tap on the valve.
5. Filter Outlet:
Run 3/8 inch tubing or 1/4 inch pipe
from the filter OUTLET port to the INLET side of the
restrictor in the pilot system of the regulator. The
Type 30/30A/30S/ Mooney Filter has tow OUTLET
ports for ease of tubing. Block the other port with
the plug provided.
Note: To avoid galling when stainless steel
to stainless steel connections are made, use
a lubricant (such as NEVER SEEZ by Bostik).
For best results, LIGHTLY lubricate the female
threads. Mixing the lubricant with pipe dope is
also acceptable. Do not exceed more than 1/4 turn
past the point the threads start to bind.
Scope
This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Type 30/30A/30S/
Mooney
™
Filters. Instructions for the
Flowgrid
™
regulator,
FlowMax
™
regulator, and Pilot will be found in separate manuals.
Personal injury, equipment damage, or
leakage due to explosion of accumulated
gas or bursting of pressure containing parts,
may result if this FILTER is overpressured, or
is installed where service conditions could
exceed the limits given in the specification of
this manual, or on the nameplate, or where
conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent
piping or piping connections. Verify the
limitations of both valve and pilot to ensure
neither device is overpressured. To avoid
such injury or damage, provide pressure
relieving or pressure limiting devices (as
required by the Title 49, Part 192, of the U.S.
code of Federal Regulations, by the National
Fire Codes of the National Fire Protection
Association, or by other applicable codes),
to prevent service conditions from exceeding
those limits. Additionally, physical damage
to the valve/regulator, codes break the pilot
or filter off the main valve, causing personal
injury and/or property damage due to
explosion of accumulated gas. To avoid injury
and damage, install the filter in a safe location.
