General recommendations

Feed pressure: 0.4–0.6 MPa (58–87 psi)

Quality:

The equipment requires dry and filtered

(filtration grade 5 micron) compressed air

according to ISO standard 8573.1, quality

class 3.

We recommend that PIAB’s regulator kit

should always be used in order to ensure

proper function. Use the 1/2" regulator kit

for  100–400  pumps  (Art. No. 01 04 490)

or regulator kit 1" for 600–1600 pumps

(Art. No. 01 04 491).
