MODELS 5300P
AIR FILTER REGULATOR
SECTION I
These regulators are designed for air service only. Maximum allowable inlet pressure is 290 psi. Operating
temperatures are -20° to 180° F. The 5300P has low capacity internal relief which provides very limited down
stream over pressure protection. Note: Non-relieving version does not provide internal relief. To avoid exceeding
outlet pressure limits in service, a pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting device should be provided.

04-16
Install the regulator as close as possible to the instrument or tool it is to service. Clean all pipelines to remove dirt
and scale prior to installation. The words "IN" and "OUT" are cast into the body to indicate the direction of flow. For
best filter drainage, orient the drain valve so that it is at the lowest point on the drip well housing. The exhaust port
should be kept free and unplugged. Position the regulator so the vent is at the lowest point possible, or provide
additional protection to prevent contaminants from entering the regulator. Rotating the bonnet relative to the body may
change the vent hole orientation. Exhaust may be remotely vented by installing tubing to the 1/8" NPT port. Apply pipe
compound or sealing tape to the male pipe threads prior to installing regulator. Use caution to prevent the sealant
from getting inside the regulator.

III. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
SECTION III
Prior to turning on supply air, back off adjusting screw until there is no compression of the range spring. After turning
supply pressure on, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase outlet pressure. Tighten locknut to maintain
desired pressure setting.
