Installation
1. The Filter / Regulator should be installed with reasonable
accessibility for service whenever possible – repair service kits
are available. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with
inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound
should be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe –
never into the female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe
joints – pieces have a tendency to break off and lodge inside
the unit, possibly causing malfunction. Also, new pipe or hose
should be installed between the Filter / Regulator and equipment
being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and
liquids.
3. Select a Filter / Regulator location as close as possible to the
equipment being protected.
4. Install Filter / Regulator so that air flows into port labelled “IN”
on body.

CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use
with Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial
environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be
subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside
of the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause
damage. Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated
hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not
be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with fire-
resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and diester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions
are not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the
action of most such solvents, but should not be used where strong
acids or bases are present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the
factory for specific recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND
WATER ONLY! DO NOT
use cleansing agents such as acetone,
benzene, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are
damaging to this plastic.
!
WARNING
Product rupture can cause serious injury.
Do not connect regulator to bottled gas.
Do not exceed maximum primary pressure rating.
