INSTALLATION
HOW EASY IS EXPEL TO INSTALL?
EXPEL is designed to remove liquid water, and ideally needs to be installed as close to the point of use as
possible. Installation is straightforward as Expel does not require any electrical power, only simple plumbing
is required.
WHERE DO I NEED TO POSITION THE EXPEL IN MY COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM?
Th e EXPEL 30 is a point of use fi lter. We recommend installation within 18 ft. of point of use. Th is is to minimize
the effects of temperature reduction after the fi lter, preventing downstream condensation.
WHAT IS POINT OF USE?
Point of Use
is the tool or equipment that is using the compressed air. Th is could be anything from a tire
changer to a pneumatic hand tool.
WHY DO I NEED TO INSTALL EXPEL AT POINT OF USE?
Installing the EXPEL at point of use ensures that all liquids and particulates are eliminated from the compressed
air when it reaches your equipment.
WHAT SIZE PIPEWORK DOES THE EXPEL 30 FIT?
Th e EXPEL 30 is designed to fi t either ½” or ¾” pipework. Th e unit is supplied as standard with a ¾” BSPT thread
in the head, and within the box there are fl ush fi tting adaptors to reduce the ¾” BSPT thread to ½” BSPT thread
fi ttings.
MY TOOLS REQUIRE A LUBRICATOR, WHERE DO I INSTALL EXPEL IN RELATION TO THIS?
If a tool requires a lubricator, this must be installed AFTER the EXPEL unit. Th e EXPEL will remove oil emulsion
fl uids, so would remove any oil introduced by a lubricator if the EXPEL was installed after this.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE FILTER ELEMENT?
What makes the EXPEL so unique, is that you NEVER need to replace the fi lter element. Th ere is nothing that
becomes blocked over time like conventional fi lters.
In exceptionally dirty airlines, you may fi nd that you get a blockage occur within the unit from large particles
or pipe scale. To remove this, you can simply dismantle the unit, clean any debris and reassemble with ease.

parts are necessary. A spare part will only be required if the unit is accidentally damaged.
