JW / JC Filters

Relieve internal pressure by opening the manual vent valve.

Disconnect drain lines at manual and automatic drain valves (if applicable).

Unscrew filter collar from head of filter and remove bowl.

Unscrew retaining cap from rod.

Remove used filter element and dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Clean any debris from bowl and insert new element.

Examine condition of O-rings

Screw retaining cap on rod until snug without damaging the new element.

Reattach drains.

Repressurize slowly to prevent element damage and leak check.
JT / JL Filters

Vent internal air pressure from filter through manual vent.

Remove bolts from flange (JL filters will have bolts on top).

Remove filter cover from JL or bowl from JT.

Unscrew wing nut, steel washer, rubber washer from rod and remove filter retaining cup.



Examine condition of filter gasket.

Place cover on JL or put JT bowl in position and reinstall bolts.

Tighten and install drain on JT.

Repressurize slowly to prevent element damage and leak check.
Filter Drainage
The filter sump in the bottom of each filter is a critical part of the filtration system. The liquids that
accumulate here must be drained at regular intervals, in order to prevent the condensate from being re-in
trained in the filtered air. A typical drain system should consist of an automatic drain ball valve. (Applies to
coalescing filters only.) See recommended proper installation.
Outdoor Installation
Heat tracing of sump area and drain lines are required for installations that are exposed to ambients of
32°F or lower.
Application Notes
FLOW:
A. Coalescers and Adsorbers flow inside to outside of the element.
B. Particulate filters flow outside to inside the element.
C. JL’s all have pre-separation chambers and flow inside to outside.
FILTERING FACTS:

All compressed air is “saturated” with moisture unless its pressure dew point has been reduced by
drying. Filtration does not change the moisture or oil dew point of the air. Filtration or coalescing ONLY
removes particles, liquid and aerosols. They can not remove vapors.

Coalescing should be done at the lowest temperature possible.

Oil and water vapors condense as the temperature is lowered.
