INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE UNIT

This filter/regulator is supplied with a 
bracket for mounting it to a wall or 
any suitable framework.

It should ideally be connected to a 
fixed airline or be mounted at the 
outlet of the compressor.

1. Secure the bracket to the 

regulator using the locking ring.

• Airflow direction is marked with 

an arrow on the regulator body.

2. Ensure sufficient free space above the regulator for future adjustments.

3. Ensure the compressor is turned off when making connections. Take care 

not to overtighten when connecting the airline unions.

4. After connection, turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any 

found before starting work.

• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.

SETTING

The adjustment knob is of the locking type.

1. Adjust the delivery air pressure as required, by pulling the regulator cap 

upwards and then twisting clockwise to increase or anti-clockwise to 
reduce the outlet pressure as displayed on the gauge, When the pressure is 
correct, press the cap back to lock and retain the setting.

• Turning the adjustment knob clockwise increases the pressure as 

displayed by the gauge. Turning counter clockwise will reduce the 
pressure.

• + and - are marked on the knob.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU 
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR 
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS.
